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.

Palestinian Information Center - The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) deported on Monday Mahmoud Duwaik, 30, from his hometown of Jericho in the West Bank to the Gaza Strip.

Duwaik said on arrival in Gaza that the IOF soldiers captured him while working in 1948 occupied Palestine and deported him to Gaza after finding out that he did not have a work permit.

He added that his parents lived in Jericho for 22 years but had written in their IDs that they are from Gaza.

Duwaik appealed for helping him to return to Jericho to his parents, wife and children who have been living there for more than 22 years.
