Guardian Remaps Israel -- Modi'in Is a Settlement

As if to prove our point about the Guardian, which so "frequently distorts the conflict," Rachel Shabi's article today ("Gaza ceasefire in jeopardy as six Palestinians are shot") refers to the "huge Israeli settlement at Modiin."

With some 70,000 people, Modiin can be considered huge, but it is not a settlement. It is fully situated within Israel's pre-1967 boundaries, or the Green Line.

  1. Its not even a settlement. I guess the Guardian confused Modi'in with Modi'in Illit (also known as Kiryat Sefer), which IS over the pre-67 Green Line. That's no excuse for not getting the geography straight.
