I know there are nearly 300 Gazans dead at this point; however, this is much more important:
"Jewish man killed at Western Wall" by Isabel Kershner | New York Times, June 22, 2013
She is one tough reporter.
JERUSALEM — An Israeli security guard shot and killed a Jewish man at the back of the Western Wall plaza early Friday after apparently suspecting him of being a Palestinian militant about to carry out an attack, police said.
Tensions occasionally run high around the holy site where throngs of Jewish worshippers regularly pray before the huge beige stones, a remnant of the retaining wall of the Temple Mount revered by Jews as the site where their ancient temples once stood.
On the plateau above the wall, Muslims pray at Al Aksa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam.
Micky Rosenfeld, a spokesman for the police, said that based on the initial testimony of the security guard, the shooting victim, who was identified as Doron Ben-Shlush, 46, had shouted “Allahu akbar,” or “God is great,” and had his hand in his pocket at the time he was shot, near a public restroom at the back of the plaza.
Then he deserved to die!
The guard, from a private firm contracted to secure the entrances to the plaza, fired several shots at the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The guard, who was arrested, was ordered held in court later Friday.

Sorry for the distorted headline, dear readers. I'm started to become just like the media I monitor. Never say another word about this event in my Boston Globe, either. It's what we once called a one-day wonder.
