Yishai Schlissel was twice convicted of stabbing attacks at the Jerusalem gay pride parade, killing 16-year-old Shira Banki in 2015. In 2020 the opening said flatly: "Yishai Schlissel... is an Israeli terrorist." Today the opening calls him "a convicted Israeli murderer"; the word terror survives four times elsewhere in the article, not the opening. A reader today does not learn that the article once flatly called him a terrorist, only that he was convicted of murder.
