Barriers to Understanding

It isn't just the fact that Israel has created an enormous wall between itself and much of the West Bank that prevents us having a clear understanding of what is happening over there.

It isn't even because the Israeli military continues to exert strict control over all aspects of Palestinian life.

We don't know what is happening to the Palestinians because our news organizations, notably the Associated Press, have failed to report the facts to us, in part because all Palestinian coverage is filtered through Israeli personnel.

Remember the video of the Israeli soldier shooting a Palestinian boy ( who wasn't threatening anybody) in the stomach ? No ? Probably because it was erased when it got to Israel.

Did you know that our media typically reports 100% of casualties to Israeli children, but only between 2% and 11% of casualties among Palestinian children ? How could you ?

If Americans only knew is an organization trying to do something about this so that we might have a more balanced picture of Israeli-Palestinian relations.
