sorry Haitham but when i tuned in on Saudi and kuwaiti channels , there was no talk of Holocaust , it was the usual rubbish , as if everything is ok . A recipe on the saudi English , a program on heart disease on Arabic saudi , kuwaiti channel seems to devote most of its time to Dances Praising kuwait and the kuwaiti leaders , or comedies that involve too much screaming and they re not funny at all . why do i tune in to those channels , just to check what they are doing . and i end up feeling sick again . I Did it when Huda Ghallia lost ALL her family and the saudis were still dancing on thier channel and not bothered what happened to 12 years old Huda .

Algeria Hardly covered the holocaust bit , Moroccco did speak about it and moroccan had a demonstration in Rabat facing the Moroccan Parliament .

Actually on Saturday night CTV mentioned that children were killed.
Canada is slowly starting to report the truth. Even though it is a small report.
It is a start.

I was going to post something similar to this. It is no surprise. Papers, news were more occupied with prince charming Harry than Gaza. All that really got mentioned was Israel’s right to defend it self with reasonable action! Reasonable?!?! Fighter jets against unarmed people! they dont show that on tv.

This was a good post. I hate it when the media only covers one side of an issue. The people of Palestine are being murdered and the world is doing nothing.

The only U.S. candidate to mention Palestine is Nader. All the others give full support to Israel.

The world needs to learn that Israel is not our friend

Today, I wanted to throw up. The morning tv here in Italy has its “press review” of the major papers and internet sites. Well, I didn’t expect them to give a lot of time to Gaza, because that would mean that the papers would have given it space. One newspaper actually did have it on the front page, though, and the Editor of Rai 3 News FLIPPED immediately to pages 4 and 5 where there was only internal politics about our upcoming elections!!!!

then, the internet page was dedicated to… Obama and Billery.

THEN, and this is the worst, we have an Israeli citizen of Palestinian origin who did her “Middle East segment”. Her name is Iman Sabbah and she did not even MENTION Gaza, but instead talked about the warship USS Cole near to Lebanon and something internal about Egypt. She is terrible, a total apologist for Israel. I can’t figure her out, other than that she disgusts me. In fact, her bio does not say Palestinian, but Arab Israeli.

Iman Sabbah nata a Nazareth in Israele, araba israeliana.

here is her picture: http://telegiornaliste.freeforumzone.leonardo.it/discussione.aspx?idd=635271&p=4

Great post on the media’s lack of Media Coverage of Gaza, if what is happening to Gaza was happening to Israel the media would be all over the place and the United Nations would be doing something rather then just saying a few words.

A email I got that explains some reasons for some lack of media coverage:

I even heard some people in Sderot are afraid of walking their dogs, poor things. (OK, this might be unfair to the civilians of Sderot - after all, it’s not their fault the media lost all sense of proportionality.)

I can supplement: The two major Danish newspapers Jyllands-Posten and Politiken have a very short story, basically the same agency pick about the Israeli “offensive”.

They quote despicable war criminal Ehud Barak as saying it’s all Hamas’ fault and that’s about it. (http://politiken.dk/udland/article478083.ece)

.. and how. We just now got 5 minutes. (I use my watch to time these things). Three were dedicated to Sderot. The two left over were generic pictures of generic tanks nearing the border, injured Israeli soldiers, two slightly wounded Palestinians, an old woman who was in grief and Arab men throwing stones.

You would have died in the Sderot portion. Interviewed 3 sisters who made Aliyah 3 years ago. They are nervous and they said they didn’t know when it was ok to turn on their computers…

These are the problems they are dealing with.
