A trip home/abroad to Australia got me so relaxed (0% of the cars flying stars & stripes!) that I haven't sent a bulletin out in the 3 months since...
But I find myself unable to stay silent as the Israeli and American death machines keep on grinding away... In this issue I give you some selected links arranged as three reports from the Palestinian front, where the Israel "Defense" Force is going seriously Rambo:
Ha'aretz is an established left-leaning Israeli newspaper. According to newsisfree.com, "Haaretz is an independent israeli daily newspaper with a broadly liberal outlook both on domestic issues and on international affairs."
Electronic Intifada was established in 2001 to "...challenge myth, distortion and spin in the media in an informed way ... to effect positive changes in media coverage of the Palestinians and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict." Global Exchange calls this site "an invaluable resource."
You all know who the BBC and the Red Cross are.
Arutz Sheva (Channel Seven) is a right-wing Israeli television station.
It seems to me that each Israeli attack is in retaliation for a Palestinian attack, and each Palestinian attack is in retaliation for an Israeli attack; but the Israelis never acknowledge this cycle and the Palestinians suffer far more casualties. And somehow the mainstream press never mentions the 30 years of illegal occupation in defiance of UN orders and international law.
Personally, I advocate the Arab peace plan: Israel withdraws to pre-1967 borders, and all the world acknowledges Israel's right to exist. Done. The end.
Our next issue will be more fun: look for the HYPERBOLIC SUPERPATRIOTIC ISSUE soon.
Until then,

Peace be upon you
