I guess not strictly news - but with all of the vitriol I have seen in discussions on the Israel situation, that have boiled down to arguments over wording, I feel that this take from the BBC is worthy of some discussion.

Mods, feel free to remove if this is not newsy enough.

    The BBC trying to stay neutral on such an emotionally loaded subject is very suspicious.

      Why? The guidelines say they report on what actually happened in these events.

        Cause the BBC hasn’t been neutral in the past when it comes the the Israel / Palestine conflict

          Source? Was it actually a BBC reporter or someone they were interviewing?

          This isn’t an Israeli/Palentine issue. The guidance on the use of wording is general.
