Instagram sorry for adding ‘terrorist’ to some Palestinian user bios::It says it fixed a problem “that briefly caused inappropriate translations” in some Instagram profiles.

    He had written in his bio that he was Palestinian, followed by a Palestinian flag and the word “alhamdulillah” in Arabic - which translates to “praise be to God” in English.

    However, upon clicking “see translation”, viewers were given an English translation reading: “Praise be to God, Palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom”.

    I think this is just an error. If it was a pro Palestinian play they wouldn’t call them terrorists. If it was a pro Israel play they wouldn’t have said fighting for their freedom.
