There are three stand-out issues this week, December 22-28.
Firstly, the anger and distress of Palestinian Christians about the obstacles Israel places in the way of their freedom of movement and worship:
Palestinian Christians rebut Israeli propaganda
No spirit of celebration in Gaza (2 articles);
Secondly, two historical articles on how right-wing think tanks were steered by Jewish lobbies into drawing up policies for Israeli dominance in the region and over Palestinians and the USA which have, in effect, been adopted from Netanyahu’s first premiership onwards. (This is not to say Israeli and American political leaders were following orders but rather how well-organised right-wing Jewish policy groups were in contrast to liberal and Palestinian groups.)
From 2000, make Israel supreme and self-reliant, report from “Study Group on a New Israeli Strategy Toward 2000.”
For total war against all Arab regimes, 2002.
Thirdly, Gaza, four months later:
If the BBC hasn’t reported it, it doesn’t exist, PSC complaint that BBC does not recognise the ceasefire has been broken; Amena Saleem cited the PCHR as a reliable source, which the BBC does not recognise.
Just another week in Palestine, PCHR weekly report, as an example.
Palestinian splits blamed for lack of Gaza reconstruction money
Tinsel Town babble, these Hollywood folk don’t know, or care, much about Israel and Gaza, but they do know that Hamas is unAmerican. Which in some circles is all you need to know.
