   Dear Readers (of every major news publication in the USA):

   Our apologies for the following error, which we’ve made almost daily for 
   18 years, since 2006:

    . for misidentifying Hamas*-controlled Gaza (as ‘Israeli-occupied Gaza’). 

   We sincerely regret the thousands of deaths caused by our inadvertent 
   error, as well as any inconvenience to you, dear readers. 

       ~ Editors-in-Chief ... 

 
   *Hamas is officially recognized as a terror organization by the US 
     government It is responsible for murdering thousands of Jews in
     Israel and around the world over the past 30+ years -- as well as 
     tens of thousands of deaths of Arabs living under its (Hamas') 
     civilian authority (i.e., in Gaza).

Right -- 'a bit of a hiccup... nothing to see... move along...' You are the king of the dry, wry world of humor, John!

I can't find it. Are you saying the editors in chief are apologizing? I'll check it out.

Anaya! You took this literally! It was irony at its strongest, as no editors are actually apologizing --- when all of them should be, for what amounts to misappropriation of part of Israel's territorial identity... as if folks renamed Louisiana 'The West Bank {of the Mississippi River}!! How ridiculous would that be?)
