Tel Aviv central bus station massacre

This page is a corrective companion to Wikipedia’s article Tel Aviv central bus station massacre. Wikipedia’s Israel-Palestine articles have a documented bias problem; below are the framing problems recorded in our audit (checked 2026-06), each verifiable against the live article.

How Wikipedia frames it today

• Twenty-three civilians were killed when two Palestinian suicide bombers blew themselves up at the Tel Aviv Central Bus Station in January 2003. Through 2020 the opening reported that “the Palestinian militant organization Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack.” The word is nowhere in the article today, and the sentence naming who claimed responsibility is gone entirely. A reader today does not learn which organization claimed responsibility for the bombing that killed 23 people.
