Their editorial slant Palestine doesn't warrant much leeway and should be held up to scrutiny but in general cover pages are routinely sanitised to match the story. Also according to the comments, it's not the exact same photo - the Palestinian flag was unfurled after the photo was taken, potentially.
To be honest, even deciding what the lead story should be is an act of santisation. Of all the bits of poor coverage I've seen in the past 8 months, this doesn't even break the top 500. Think that's a tweet looking for a click.
