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.

Israeli airstrike targets Gaza

Press TV- Israeli warplanes have attacked the Gaza Strip again, one day after an Israeli airstrike killed a Palestinian in the south of the territory.

Early on Wednesday morning, attacks hit two buildings south of Gaza City in the north of the enclave, but caused no deaths, AFP reported.

On Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike targeted the city of Khan Younis, Adham Abu Selmiya, the spokesman for health services in the Gaza Strip, said shortly after the incident.

The bombardment killed 25-year-old Mohammed Jamil al-Najar -- an alleged resistance fighter and a member of the al-Quds Brigade, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad movement.

Israel has increased and intensified its attacks on Gaza over the past few months, with many Palestinians killed or injured in the incidents.

In December, at least five people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the town of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Read more
