Presumably you also think Al Jazeera is biased in it's reporting then?
I think it's pretty ridiculous to suggest that it's offensive to say "[nation] mourns death of [someone from there]" - it doesn't mean only they do or could. Was it offensive to say "Britain mourns the queen's death"?

My response from above:
my quick attempt at a title would be ‘ Controversial Palestinian author, family killed in Israel air strike; intended strike target unclear ‘.
What’s actually important about that event? The fact that Palestinians are mourning him, that he was controversial, that his family died too, that Israel hasn’t clarified whom or what it was targeting with the strike that killed them all…?

Yeah no, that’s not going to fly. I said may because I didn’t want to give my opinion, which is that the BBC’s title is inappropriate, and Allday’s points are partially valid.
-Going to add, my quick attempt at a title would be ‘ Controversial Palestinian author, family killed in Israel air strike; intended strike target unclear ‘.
