When you read a headline like this, what is your reaction? Most people would assume that Israelis attacked Palestinians unprovoked, the usual leftwing propoganda portraying Israel as Aggressor, and Palestinians as Victim. Wrong! The article goes on to acknowledge that one of the Palestinians threw grenades at soldiers as he tried to storm a border crossing, and the other Palestinian tried to attack the settlement.
Israelis gun down two Palestinians
Israeli forces have killed two Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, one of whom threw grenades at them as he tried to storm a border crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian medics say they have also recovered the body of a man killed outside a Jewish settlement in northern Gaza.
Israeli military sources say soldiers shot him overnight when he tried to infiltrate the settlement.
The latest casualties raise the Palestinian death toll to 30 since Hamas militants blew up an Israeli tank in Gaza on Saturday, killing its four crewmen.

No, I would think they killed 2 palestinians and read th earticle. It takes 14 words to get to the "attack" part.
Nobody will object to these acts... it is self-defense position....
It's very different from :

Israeli forces fired teargas and stun grenades yesterday in an attempt to break up a memorial service for Rachel Corrie, the American peace activist killed by an army bulldozer in Gaza on Sunday.
Witnesses including several dozen foreigners and Palestinian supporters say Israeli armoured vehicles tried to disperse the gathering at the spot in Rafah refugee camp where Ms Corrie was crushed to death.
