She called the Hamas leader a martyr upon his death btw. The leader of an internationally designated terrorist organisation. A martyr.

Yes, that is literally what he was.

a person who is killed because of their religious or other beliefs.

So when she deleted the tweet almost immediately and then apologised and said it was the wrong word to use when asked…….?

Martyr has connotations that come with it, generally that the person was standing up for good. A terrorist does not do that.
