Megiddo is a kibbutz near a junction that includes a large prison holding Palestinians. Through 2005 the opening described that prison as one for those convicted "in most cases and abetting terrorism." Today the opening calls it only a "high-security prison," and the word terror appears nowhere in the article. A reader today learns the prison holds security offenders but not that the article once specifically named terrorism as their offense.
