Studies show that US coverage is Israeli-centric. The main bureaus for CNN, Associated Press, Time, etc. are located in Israel and often staffed by Israelis. The son of the NY Times bureau chief is in the Israeli army;"pundit" Jeffrey Goldberg served in the IDF; Wolf Blitzer worked for AIPAC. Because the U.S. gives Israel over $8 million/day - more than to any other nation - we feel it is essential that we be fully informed on this region. Below are news reports to augment mainstream coverage.

MI figures out what went wrong in Lavon affair - 55 years later

Ha'aretz
Fifty-five years after the notorious failure of an Israeli sabotage operation in Egypt, Military Intelligence has finally gotten around to figuring out what went wrong. The answer? Pretty much everything.

An educational presentation about the 1954 Lavon affair prepared by the MI history and heritage division found that MI had not sufficiently trained the members of the sabotage unit, who were mostly amateurs and included several Egyptian Jews, and had failed to give them cover stories, plan escape routes or otherwise plan for the possibility that they would be caught. Full story

[The Lavon Affair was an Israeli false flag operation intended to sabotage US-Egypt relations. Israeli operatives, posing as "Arab/Muslim extremists," were to plant bombs in US Government installations including the US Embassy (USIS) library in Cairo, and both the USIS library and US Consulate General in Alexandria, etc. For more information see "Pinchas Lavon and the "Ugly Affair" By Richard H.
