The whole thing is fucked and I don't know enough about it all to form an educated opinion. Ethnic genocide does appear to be what's happening with my limited knowledge and that is insane, but even in this day and age I am not surprised in the least. That's as far as my opinion goes on the matter.

Then the BBC could have said something like "More than 500 people were slain in Gaza." They should have used a word that implies that the more than 500 people were actively put to death somehow, like killed or slain.
