Gisha NGO takes graph that makes Israel look good off their homepage

Gisha is an NGO I've mentioned before that pretends to be supporting freedom of movement for people in Gaza, but which nearly always lets Hamas off the hook for blocking that same freedom of movement that they say Israel is stopping.

Yesterday, I happened to use a Gisha graph to illustrate the difference between how Israel has been improving freedom of movement to and from Gaza compared to Egypt.


Versions of this graph had been featured on Gisha's homepage for over two years.

Here's what their page looked like on Sunday:




The day that I used their own graph to show how Israel is helping Palestinian freedom of movement - something Gisha is loathe to admit - they changed their homepage to eliminate that chart:





As soon as I used their own chart to prove something contradicting their entire purpose - which is to demonize Israel - they removed it from their main page.

I'm sure it is just a coincidence.
