One can only hazard a guess as to what a reader unfamiliar with this totally unrelated story will take from this photo of Hebrew graffiti and swastikas. The actual story that this relates to involves recent clashes between police and Bedouin residents of the Negev city of Rahat. The graffiti refers to two men who died during the violence.

HonestReporting has contacted the Telegraph to request that the photo be removed or replaced.

HRsuccessUPDATE

The Daily Telegraph has removed the photo.
