More misleading headlines

Reuters gets it wrong yet again with another misleading headline:

Israel, Palestinians Take Barrier Case to U.N. Court

Palestinians told the opening session of World Court hearings into the legality of Israel’s West Bank barrier Monday that the vast network of walls and fences would deny them a viable independent state.

Israel stayed away from the U.N. forum’s landmark foray into its conflict with the Palestinians, arguing that the court in The Hague had no right to rule on the case.

In the second paragraph, the article states clearly that Israel is staying away (actually, boycotting) the hearings. So then why the headline that suggests that Israel somehow instigated this sham of a case?
