One thing I find curious is that almost all reports from Israeli sources, from whatever point of view, are made by Israeli Jews. Isn’t about twenty percent of the Israeli population of Palestinian origin? Why are none of these voices ever heard.

Compare that to the U.S. or Europe. In the press or the broadcast media, there are a great number of commentators of Jewish origin. Yet in the U.S. the community is only about two percent of the population. In Europe, France for example, it is less than one percent. What would Israelis think if Palestinians, a much larger percentage of their population, had such representation in the media?

No one seems to find the two situations strange. There certainly seems to be a double standard.

As we have seen, there are good Israeli Jewish critics of the occupation, but in the U.S. you seem to need to be vetted by the ADL or AIPAC to have access to the media.

Wolf Blitzer, for one example, used to work for AIPAC, a point which he omits in his biography at CNN. Does anyone still wonder why American news reports are so biased on Palestine?

Here is a debate between Blitzer and Norman Finkelstein.

the last article is really interesting… but everytime i read something written on Ha’aretz’s homepage i get frustrated. look at all these comments at the end of the article!
those people will never ever recognize what they do to freedom, liberty and human rights. they are ignorant like a f***.

god will save the palestinians and eventually give all the bad people in the world their punishment.

What can I say?
After 40 years of terrorist attacks by the Zionists the Palestinians are still treated as terrorists!
Why does this argument have to go on?
The facts are there!
Why?
Haven’t enough civilians been killed?
Haven’t enough CHILDREN been killed?
Haven’t you taken enough land?
Haven’t you tortured enough people?
Haven’t you destroyed enough families?
Haven’t you destroyed enough homes?
Haven’t you destroyed enough land.
Haven’t you stolen enough water?
This was all in the name of your God?
What makes your God right and the Palestinian God wrong?
I was under the impression that you have the same God.
Obviously your God hates everyone else that is not Jewish.
The Palestinian God accepts everyone as equals.
What ever the Palestinians try to appease your God is not enough.
WHY NOT?
Just one honest answer using the truth would be appreciated. But don’t use terrorism as a factor because you are the terrorists.
