So clearly, the headline is just there to provoke and shock, in order to gain more readers. In that, I think she succeeded (as evidenced by this thread). There isn't anything overt or even subtly racist about the article; she doesn't even condemn the settlers. Just a shock headline to gain eyeballs, nothing more.
Obviously mother Jones knows that cries of racism will draw readership. Sometimes readers will just scan and they are able to get in a liberal accusation. Congrats motherjones, you got a twofer lol

The anti-brunch #BlackLivesMatters marchers will be protesting your nearby Starbucks very soon.

The Leftist media uses twitter comments to base their agitprop stories on, too.
