Livni’s Facebook Flummox: ‘Axes Kill Worshippers’

CNN weren’t the only ones making outrageous reportage failures concerning the brutal terror attack on a Jerusalem synagogue Tuesday morning that left four Jews murdered and eight others wounded, four of them critically – Justice Minister Tzipi Livni (Hatnua) took to Facebook to do her part as well.

“I met and spoke with 12th grade students about the attack this morning. I told them that axes that kill worshippers at a synagogue in Jerusalem, that’s a serious and shocking incident for all of us,” Livni wrote on her page accompanied by a picture of herself in the Beit Shemesh classroom.

The phrasing suggesting that it was the axes that did the killing did not escape the attention – or the hilarity – of users, one of whom commented to the delight of other browsers “those axes, I’m telling you. They go around and slaughter in the streets freely.” Another wrote “so let’s make peace with the axes.”

Two hours later, as users were ripping into the enigmatic post, Walla! reports that the post was subtly changed to read “the usage of axes by terrorists with the goal of killing worshippers.”

But just as users were starting to respond to the change, it was changed back to “axes that kill worshippers.”

The minister’s Facebook frenzy didn’t stop there however; around 20 minutes later the post was changed again back to “the usage of axes by terrorists with the goal of killing worshippers.”

And then a minute later it was changed to its final version: “the usage of axes by terrorists so as to kill worshippers.”

Livni is not the only one to suffer from such Facebook hijinks in recent days; just last Friday MK Yifat Kariv (Yesh Atid) claimed on Facebook “over 3.2 million students are victims to bullying” – there are only 2.01 million students in Israel, including the roughly half-a-million kindergarteners.

At least Kariv appeared to be more honest – or less perceptive – than Livni about her mistake, leaving it up without a correction.
