Daily Mail distorts Israel's role on Gaza's border: II
Lauren Booth was rejected entry into both Israel and Egypt by the respective national authorities. By omitting to mention that Ms Booth was denied entry into Egypt but mentioning that, “There was no comment last night from the Israeli authorities” the article distorts Israel’s role in the situation.

'Cherie's sister is stranded in Gaza'
Daily Mail, 3 September 2008
Tony Blair's sister-in-law Lauren Booth says she is being prevented from leaving Gaza after taking part in a human rights mission there.
'It could be days, weeks or years before I can leave,' she said.
'I'm now exactly in the same situation as one-and-a-half million Palestinians in Gaza who can't travel.'
Miss Booth, half-sister of Mr Blair's wife Cherie, arrived in Gaza by boat on August 23 among 45 activists highlighting Israel's blockade of the Palestinian territory.
Most returned to Cyprus a few days later, leaving 11 to do humanitarian work.
There was no comment last night from the Israeli authorities.
