One of the problems people face with learning Arabic is that weak vowels are implicit by nature and you need to know them by heart in order to read the words properly.
1) The guy wrote يصبحهم (non standard Arabic) but it was picked as يذبحهم by FB which translates to (He slaughters/slays them)
2) The smaller problem lies in that the word يصبحهم is not standard Arabic and probably Palestinian slang like in Egypt we got many variations on the morning greeting like صباحو or صبّح صبّح etc etc
3) The bigger problem was why FB translator went out of its way to change the letter from ص to ذ instead of returning a "Not Found" or "Please double check spelling and try again" or "Did you mean ....?"

Even though I'm a non native speaker, I haven't experienced any difficulties parsing and processing this headline. I am not sure what part of it that got you off balance.
This is a value judgement and therefore it's subjective and function of personal preferences.
It was like "Hey boy, you've hit puberty and become a man now. Let's do this small rite of passage and cut that foreskin off your dick so you could join the rest of the tribe of grown up men"
