"The BBC's headline on its news website was 'Three Palestinians killed after deadly stabbing in Jerusalem.' The BBC eventually changed its headline to 'Israeli policewoman stabbed to death in Jerusalem.'" "This example demonstrates the drip-drip effect of unqualified, un-contextualized, singling out of Israel for criticism.
