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.

a recording surfaced in which Dr. Yehuda Hiss, the chief pathologist of the Israeli forensics Institute, described in detail the harvesting of skin, corneas and other organs from Palestinians and Israelis without their family’s consent.

The interview, which was recorded in 2000, aired on Israeli Channel 2 over the weekend, and included an admission by Hiss that he and his colleagues tried to cover up what they were doing, saying about corpses that had corneas removed, "We'd glue the eyelid shut. We wouldn't take corneas from families we knew would open the eyelids."
