Reply #16: This is total, utter, disingenuous, dishonest, offensive, wicked nonsense.

That anyone can possibly believe or claim that this was anything other than an honest mistake is laughable.

Anyone who claims otherwise has, pretty much ipse facto, demonstrated that they are more interested in demonisiting legitimate criticism of Israel than in factual accuracy.

If the Guardian had been deliberately ommitting Israel Nobel Prize winners, they would not have listed "Israel" in the "countries" column - something that the OP conveniently omits to mention that they did - and they would not have omitted the othe winners. To suggest that they did so simply as a way of covering their tracks while ommiting Israeli winners is to demonstrate a degree of bias and lack of grasp of the facts so total as to essentially render everything one has to say worthless.

What the hell do you think the Guardian would have been trying to achieve? Are you really accusing them of believing that they would do more good than harm for the anti-Israel crusade you claim they're on in this way?

So, no, the Guardian hasn't been "caught lying"; Shira has.
