Correction and Apology
August 14, 2011 by J-Wire
On March 15, 2011, J-Wire published a report on its web site under the title “Israeli Law Books Daubed in University” which alleged that the group referring to itself as “Action for Palestine” at Adelaide University had been reprimanded by the Adelaide University for daubing textbooks on Israeli law in the University’s library.
J-Wire has now been informed that “Action for Palestine” was not reprimanded in relation to the incident. J-Wire acknowledges that members of “Action for Palestine” have denied involvement in the daubing of the text books.
J-Wire apologises to any member of “Action for Palestine” who may have been hurt by J-Wire’s publication.
