BBC deletes tweet about three Palestinians killed after deadly stabbing; Now guess who did the stabbing (13 Pics)

We’ve seen plenty of headlines like this one before, and every single time it’s a shocker.

There was the CNN ticker announcing, “Palestinians killed boarding kids’ bus” but omitting the fact they were armed with knives and later stabbed a man at another bus stop. CBS News eventually changed its headline, “3 Palestinians killed as daily violence grinds on,” to reflect the fact that the three killed were armed with automatic weapons, explosive devices, and knives and managed to kill an Israeli security officer and seriously wound another before being shot by police.

On Friday it was the BBC’s turn to delete a tweet and headline and give it another shot.

In short, two of the Palestinians killed had attacked police officers with guns and knives while the third fatally stabbed policewoman Hadas Malka, 23, pictured below.

The BBC eventually settled on, “Israeli policewoman stabbed to death in Jerusalem.”
