This is an actual headline in the actual US of A
What kind of people can even think such a thing?
Headline on an editorial opinion piece — this has the full weight of the newspaper behind it! — in the Miami Herald:
Israel must put down Hamas

Update: Aug 18, 2014. I guess the Miami Herald reads this blog and noticed how atrocious that sounds. Now the only thing that comes up is an editorial from July 26th with the same meaning but more marketable words: Israel’s Challenge. The Orlando Sentinel still has a copy up.
