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.

The settlers struck Zeinab Raheel, and told her that the Arab presence in Jaffa is “temporary”, and that all Arabs will be forced out of “Israel”.

They later held prayers in front of the house carrying Israeli flags and chanting racist slogans against the Arabs and Palestinians.
