    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.

        So when the question of what the title actually means came up, it seems like a worthwhile discussion

      I think we’ve moved out of ‘not understanding’ and into the realm of ‘you don’t want to believe and you also don’t want others to’ territory.

      Which would be fine if you were more honest about it. Have a nice day.
