    The title does not say allege. The title says something very different

        To report something is to make a finding. You may have an interesting definition of report, but the common usage is about findings. The UN did not make a finding that Israel committed a mass killing. The implication of the title is the UN made a determination which it did not do.

        The UN is calling on Israel to investigate an allegation but it did not make a finding.

            considering you and I have both agreed the title is misleading. I’m not being pedantic. You understood what I meant, and you have acknowledged it.

            So when the question of what the title actually means came up, it seems like a worthwhile discussion

            Fighting over dictionary definitions is the least interesting type of discussion. That’s why we have dictionaries
