Watch: AP's Headlines on Hamas Baby-Murderer Change as Outrage Grows

So yesterday a Hamas supporter drove his car into a pack of people near a Jerusalem train station and killed a baby.

That baby is -- was, rather -- reportedly an American citizen.

During the early evening attack, the car was driven at top speed into pedestrians near the Ammunition Hill tram stop on the seamline between west and occupied east Jerusalem.

Seven people were hurt, including a three-month-old girl, Haya Zissel Braun, who later died, said Hadassah hospital. She was buried on Wednesday evening.

Samri described the incident as a "hit and run terror attack" -- the second in the area in just under three months.

You will not believe the headlines AP gave to this story.


Take 1: Israeli police shoot man in east Jerusalem

Yes, they shot the man after he drove his car over a baby and then fled the scene. Odd that AP would find this to be the lede of the story.

Take 2: Car slams into east Jerusalem train station

Um... the car didn't slam into the station of its own accord. It was driven by a terrorist attempting to kill Jews.

Incidentally, notice that while the world media took notice of the Ottawa shooting, the world media pretty much ignored this terrorist attack in Israel. In fact, AP originally tried to portray it as a story of Israelis shooting "a man" in Jerusalem.

Jews, it seems, cannot be victims of terrorism, just as Palins cannot be victims of man-on-woman assaults.

Only after outrage swelled on social media did the AP give it the headline it always should have had:

Take 3: Palestinian kills baby at Jerusalem station

Incredible. Incredible.
