The U.K. edition of the International Business Times published a very disturbing article today. Just look at this headline:

Horrible, right? Those poor three Palestinians! Let’s read about their ordeal:
The attempted stabbings by Palestinians and shootings by Israeli forces occurred hours before US president Joe Biden arrived in Israel. Biden is on a two-day visit to the country to hold talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld said that a Palestinian woman in her fifties had attempted to stab Israeli security forces in Jerusalem’s Old City before being shot dead. In a separate incident in Petah Tikvah, a Palestinian followed an Israeli into a shop and stabbed him in the neck before being shot and killed by police.
The third incident saw a Palestinian open fire on Israeli police in Jerusalem before fleeing the scene. When police chased him, it is alleged that the attacker continued to fire at police until he was shot and killed, the Associated Press reported.
Oh, so the three dead Palestinians weren’t innocent victims of those bloodthirsty Israelis, then?
.@IBTimesUK THEY. WERE. TERRORISTS.

Great work there, International Business Times. You’re paragons of journalistic integrity.

Guess whipping up anti-Israel fervor is more important than telling the truth.
