The Awl found points out a classic Guardian correction

A piece of correspondence on the letters page expressed the view that an attempt by Jewish activists on a sailing boat to break the sea blockade around Gaza this week had been important in “reasserting the Jewish tradition of standing up for the victims of injustice” (30 September, page 35). But due to an editing error, when a version of this sentence was rendered as the letter’s headline a key element, the reference to victims, was missed out, so the heading read: Reasserting the Jewish tradition of defending injustice.
