Devil's Advocate

The article I’m waiting to write

This afternoon, 2:30pm Zulu time, 3:30pm London time and 5:30pm Israel time, the three Israeli teenagers abducted and murdered a couple of weeks ago will be buried. I’ve decided not to write about their abduction and death until they’re buried and their parents have a chance to settle into mourning their boys.
