The previous entry described an article in the M&G that surprisingly attacked the equation of Israel with apartheid South Africa. Not surprisingly however, the M&G still get their "gotcha" quick jab in by including a photo of the section of the security barrier that is a wall, using the caption to state an opinion as fact. "The infamous wall, supported by most Israelis in the hope of gaining security against suicide bombers, is being used as a cover to seize land from Palestinians. It is the cause of immeasurable suffering."
There may be those that believe that the barrier is merely a "land grab" but there is no concrete proof that this is fact. (The only concrete that has been provided by the Palestinians is the cement they sold Israel to create the walled sections.) Considerable evidence also supports the opinion that the barrier exists to prevent terrorist attacks against Israelis living in Israel as well as in the settlement blocks in the West Bank. With two competing views, it is mendacious of the M&G to represents as fact, one opinion over the other.
