No, I used auto fill. There seems to be different headline on the main page, different headline when you actually click on the article and different when you auto populate which I assume is the original one. It looks like it has been changed multiple times.
BBC edited it and removed Israel as culprit from the headline to make it look as if it this is some extremist fringe sect. They do not want people to know this is official Israeli state policy.
Headlines are sampled randomly for the first few hours of an article going live to measure exposure. The headline that gets the most clicks wins.
There are a lot of sites that do this.
It causes headaches when it comes to social. Usually the original headline is preserved in the url, but sometimes they’ll use a unique id and then include the editorialized headline option so they can track which headline you clicked on.
Also editorial decisions on wording based on pushback, legal threats, etc.
Did you editorialise the headline?
Extremist settlers rapidly seizing West Bank land

Yeah, the BBC has been caught writing some headlines that minimise Israel’s role in the conflict. They’ve probably changed it after pushback.
So like, even the link is the headline you gave in the post. You click it and you even see it on the page before it updates to “extremist”.
Yes, and why?
