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.

US House of Representatives condemns Goldstone Report

YNET
The US House of Representatives has condemned the Goldstone Report, which accuses Israel of committing war crimes in Gaza. The resolution, which defined the report as "one-sided and distorted" was supported by a wide majority of 334 delegates against 36 who opposed it. Twenty-two delegates abstained. Full Story

[The resolution also calls on the Obama administration to veto any and all United Nations resolutions on the report.]

[Some opposing representatives, including David Wu, D-OR, signed Brian Baird letter]

*** David Wu's office called to ask for a correction. He DID sign the letter. He did NOT vote in opposition to the resolution -- he voted "present." See voting ON 867.
