BBC Apologizes For
Misleading Terror
Attack Headline

Israeli Border Police Staff Sgt. Major Hadas
Malka, 23, was fatally stabbed while on duty
at Damascus Gate by a Palestinian terrorist
June 16.

Nibbles

comes to attacks on Israeli citizens.”
Following the complaint, the BBC
removed the offending tweet and
changed the article headline to, “Israeli
policewoman stabbed to death in
Jerusalem.”
“We accept that our original headline
did not appropriately reflect the nature
of the events and subsequently changed
it. Whilst there was no intention to
mislead our audiences, we regret any
offense caused,” the BBC said in a state-
ment.
Meanwhile, in response to the terror
attack, Netanyahu said Sunday Israeli
security forces are preparing to demol-
ish the terrorists’ homes and the gov-
ernment “revoked Palestinians’ visits
in Israel,” while also beefing up security
in the plaza around Damascus Gate
where the deadly attack occurred. •

After London Mosque
Attack, Jewish Groups
Express Solidarity

(JNS.org) Several British Jewish groups
expressed solidarity with the U.K.’s
Muslim community following an attack
outside London’s Finsbury Park Mosque
Monday, where a van plowed into a
crowd of Muslim worshipers as they left
prayer services just after midnight.
One man was killed and 10 were
wounded in the attack, which British
authorities are investigating as a poten-
tial terrorist incident.
“We condemn this attack and its
attempt to escalate tensions in the U.K.
and we stand firmly besides our Muslim
brothers and sisters in the aftermath
of this attack,” said European Jewish
Congress President Dr. Moshe Kantor.
“Our heartfelt sympathy, thoughts
and prayers are with the victims,” the
president of the Board of Deputies of
British Jews, Jonathan Arkush, said in a
statement.
The U.K.’s Jewish Leadership Council
and Jewish security organization
Community Security Trust (CST) also
condemned the attack and issued con-
dolences.

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

(JNS.org) Following complaints by
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu over a BBC headline on
the recent Palestinian terror attacks in
Jerusalem, the British news organiza-
tion recanted and apologized.
The Islamic State and Hamas ter-
ror groups both claimed responsibil-
ity for last Friday’s deadly attack in
Jerusalem’s Old City, carried out by
three Palestinian terrorists, which killed
Israeli Border Police Staff Sgt. Major
Hadas Malka, 23, at Damascus Gate
and left two others injured. The ter-
rorists were killed by security services.
Malka was stabbed to death.
The BBC’s original headline and
tweet read, “Three Palestinians killed
after deadly stabbing in Jerusalem,”
which omitted the fact that it occurred
in response to the fatal stabbing of an
Israeli police officer.
Netanyahu called on Israel’s Ministry
of Foreign Affairs to censure the BBC
for the misleading headline. The Israeli
embassy in London filed a complaint,
citing the network’s “false reports” and
“refusal to use the word terror when it

A view of London’s Finsbury Park subway station.
An attack outside the city’s mosque June 19 left
one man dead and 10 wounded.

Monday’s incident follows three
Islamic terror attacks in the U.K. this
year.
In early June, seven people were killed
and 50 were injured in London, when
Islamic State terrorists drove a van into
crowds of pedestrians, before carrying
out a stabbing rampage.
The Islamic State also claimed
responsibility for the May 22 suicide
bombing at the Ariana Grande concert
at the Manchester Arena, which killed
22 people and injured 59.
In March, a British convert to Islam
rammed into pedestrians on London’s
Westminster Bridge, killing four, and
then fatally stabbing a policeman. •
