    To report something is to make a finding. You may have an interesting definition of report, but the common usage is about findings. The UN did not make a finding that Israel committed a mass killing. The implication of the title is the UN made a determination which it did not do.

    The UN is calling on Israel to investigate an allegation but it did not make a finding.

        considering you and I have both agreed the title is misleading. I’m not being pedantic. You understood what I meant, and you have acknowledged it.

        Fighting over dictionary definitions is the least interesting type of discussion. That’s why we have dictionaries
