Israel-Palestine: The Missing Headlines: Report: Turkey considers navy escort for future Gaza aid ships

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.

Report: Turkey considers navy escort for future Gaza aid ships

Ma'an - Turkey may escort future aid ships to Gaza, according to news reports.

IBN, the US network CNN's affiliate in India, reported Tuesday that Turkey was considering accompanying future aid ships to Gaza.

The threat, which was not attributed to any specific Turkish official, came a day after Israeli commandos killed 10 peace activists aboard a ship carrying international aid to the Gaza Strip.
