I have been telling my readers that the MSM does not and will not accurately report the news coming out of the dispute between the Palestinians/Israelis…..in the last war on Gaza a NBC reporter on the ground reported that the Israelis killed a group of Palestinians playing football on the beach…..he was taken off the air and given some time off…..as punishment for reporting the truth?…..
For instance….there has been very few reports on the Jewish settlers that are attacking, destroying and vandalizing Christian churches and property…..why?
Just today there was a report of more land seizures by the Israelis……
Israel confirmed on Thursday it was planning to appropriate a large tract of fertile land in the occupied West Bank, close to Jordan, a move likely to exacerbate tensions with Western allies and already drawing international condemnation.
In an email sent to Reuters, COGAT, a unit of Israel’s Defense Ministry, said the political decision to seize the territory had already been taken and “the lands are in the final stages of being declared state lands”.
How many of you, my readers, would settle for a government ceasing your land and/or property? My guess would be….not many……and yet we all look the other way because Israel does this…..why is that?
Then there are the deaths of protesters…….the west seldom mentions the Palestinians but make it a point to report almost every Israeli deaths or injury….
This type of action is an almost daily occurrence…..why is land theft not important enough to report? Or the deaths?
Like I said…..I have been screaming this as much as I could hoping to get someone to listen……and finally there is a report confirming all I have said……
Foreign journalists based in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv have for years refused to report on the financial corruption and human rights violations that are rife under the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas regimes. Palestinian “suffering” and the “evil” of……..READ ON…….

It is beyond time for the press to stop living in the past…..Israel is committing unspeakable things and the world needs to know about them all……
You know what one of the problems is that many Americans do mix the state Israel an the Jewish religion as one and the same. Criticism towards the state Israel is often seen as anti-Semitic, which of course it isn’t. The state Israel has made some bad decision, which were unconditionally supported by the US. Also the US did vetoed in the United Nations, many proposals over the years, that would improve the position of Palestinians or improve their human rights.
In the seventies over time in the Netherlands views started to change. People started to think about the position of the Palestinians and their course. Slowly the media also adopted to the change in public opinion.
In my opinion the state Israel, violates the human rights of Palestinians and push them in the position of second rank citizen. Both parties policies resulted in horrible actions, that resulted in more oppression, which results in more horrible actions. How to solve this? I don’t know! What I do know is that reports in media should be honours in their reporting. Keeping the state Israel out of the Judaism and Christianity. The y are two different things.
We Americans equate Israel with some prophecy from the Bible and the return of the savior…..but I agree with you….but we cannot separate one from the other….sadly chuq
I don’t see why you couldn’t the one of the other. Maybe because the US has great difficulty to separate religion and state from each other. I have often written in a forum that for outsiders the division between the two is hardly visible. That’s why discussions concerning one of them get toxic in a wink of an eye.
I believe you have hit the nail on the head…..
