Guardian Corrects Op-ed: Ahed Tamimi Is No "Peaceful" Activist
(UK Media Watch) Adam Levick - A Guardian op-ed on Jan. 15 by a radical anti-Israel activist described Ahed Tamimi a "peaceful" human rights activist. The Guardian's own coverage reported on the video of the Palestinian teen striking an Israeli soldier - an assault which led to her arrest. Further, the suggestion that Tamimi promotes anything resembling "peace" was contradicted in her "message to the world" video, also covered by the Guardian, which justified Palestinian stabbings and suicide bombings. Guardian editors upheld our complaint and removed the word "peaceful" from the sentence referring to Tamimi.
