the obscuring of the intended meaning of communication by making the message difficult to understand, usually with confusing and ambiguous language
or making
something less clear and harder to understand, especially intentionally
Here is from the website of Americans for Peace Now
The headline's exact wording:
In West Bank, 99.7% of Public Land Grants by Israel Go to Settlers
Here's a comment of mine at Twitter:
How much of 100% is Area A & B? Area C under full Israeli administration is only 60% of JS/WB & within that are Arab villages.Well, maybe it is confusing for some.
Another:
Another point to the story:"Israel has marked out hundreds of thousands of acres as public land".No. State land status existed since at least 1858 & 1873 Ottoman laws. Israel just confirms that. And "state" means "government", not State of Israel". A bit confusing for sure.
Added:
How much state land was awarded to Jews
during 1948-1967?
I asked the reporter:
You quote in your story Shawan Jabarin. Is he the same Jabarin who was convicted for PFLP activities some years ago?
And, of course, the Mandate's Article 6 is not included (nor a response from a Yesha Council figure and if they refused, that should have been noted):
The Administration of Palestine, while ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced, shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage, in co-operation with the Jewish agency referred to in Article 4, close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes.
You've been obfuscated by the New York Times in league with Peace Now.
And an Arab former terrorist.

Received regarding the population stats therein:
the PA always insists on the largest possible figure for the settler population, and OCHA only managed to scrape together a Palestinian population of less than 300,000 for area C by including Palestinian residents of A and B whose municipalities cross over in any part with area C. (Of those, only 67,102 live in municipalities that are entirely in area C, while most live in municipalities whose land is majority areas A/B). The EU estimate of settler population last year was 399,000.
If you cut the settler population in half, or doubled the Palestinian population of area C, Palestinians would still be in the minority.

By my back of the envelope calculations, she is claiming that more than 28% of the territory of the West Bank has been allocated to help Israeli settlements.
That’s clearly a lie.
I think that the manipulation of figures is this: Peace Now is calling any recognition by Israel that land is “state land” or “public land” an allocation “to help Israeli settlements” unless it is specifically earmarked for Palestinians.
That is very clearly a lie, and it’s worth pushing for a correction.
There is no way that the Peace Now figures can be correct, and no way the NYT endorsement of the figures can be correct.
