"An estimated 3000 protesters, including Palestinians and Israelis, have demonstrated against Israel's controversial separation barrier which cuts through the West Bank.

"No to apartheid," and "the wall creates a prison for Palestinians, a ghetto for Israel," the demonstrators chanted, many of them waving Palestinian flags.

The protest was organised by two peace groups, the Israeli-Palestinian Taayush movement and the Israeli Gosh Shalom Movement, which calls for ending the occupation and withdrawing from the West Bank, as well as the Israeli-Palestinian Media Centre, our correspondent in Jerusalem said."

"The correspondent said protesters marched along the wall for two kilometres till the centre of Abu Dis town in East Jerusalem.
Organisers planned the protest to be the biggest peaceful anti-barrier demonstration, he added."

6. I am suggesting this is not a balanced account of news

As such, every item in it is suspect.

7. I see

I can understand that.I feel the exact same way when people tout JPost.

8. Slight difference

The JPost is a paper representing actions in a democracy. Al Jazeera represents actions in a variety of nations that are far from that concept.

9. "...a paper representing actions in a democracy"

From a decidedly right-wing viewpoint.

Personally I trust neither as a single source.
