From the (UK) Independent’s coverage of Natan Sharansky’s resignation — note that this is a news article, not an editorial:
Since settling in Israel in 1986, Mr Sharansky has espoused the settler cause and turned a blind eye to the human rights of three million occupied Palestinians. Although he claimed yesterday he did not want Israel to rule over another people, he was among the architects of a recent plan, vetoed by the attorney general, to seize Palestinian-owned land near Jerusalem that fell on the Israeli side of the separation wall.
The ‘blind eye’ statement is about as tendentious reporting as you’ll ever see. Regarding the land issue in eastern Jerusalem, see a far more balanced treatment in this JPost article from February.
