Palestinian economy in decline - update

After complaining the BBC did some stealth editing.

In an earlier post on this subject I quoted the BBC thusly,

According to the report, Intifada, Closures and Palestinian Economic Crisis: An Assessment, there is a close link between the number of border closures and Palestinian economic problems.

I pointed out that the report the BBC cite actually says the opposite of what the BBC said.

[Actually the report says the opposite, "While any short-term recovery will depend on the lifting of closures, this will not suffice to put the Palestinian economy onto a sustainable growth path." ed.]

In response to my email complaint the BBC maintained their position. Yet for some strange reason they felt the need to stealth edit the webpage thusly,

According to the report, Intifada, Closures and Palestinian Economic Crisis: An Assessment, there is a close link between the number of closures - both border closures and internal closures between cities - and Palestinian economic problems.

The closures arranged by Israel restrict the movement of Palestinian people and goods, slowing down trade.

I've bolded the changes. Notice how in the second paragraph they specifically cite Israel and the Palestinians, as if to bolster their case.

The new stealth edited webpage I referred to in my original post is here.
