A BuzzFeed article praising Israelis for using everyday items to defend themselves against terrorist attacks has been taken down because it supports a “political agenda.”
“Seven Unbelievable Israeli Defence Technologies That Could Save Your Life” was removed from the Community section of the site - an open platform which anyone can contribute to - a few hours after being posted.
The article, which featured “technologies” like umbrellas and selfie sticks, was written on Wednesday by Times of Israel contributing writer Eylon Aslan-Levy after a terror attack in Tel Aviv on Tuesday was briefly held up when a busker hit an attacker with his guitar.
US graduate student Taylor Force was killed during the attack.
