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 forces demolish the homes of two Palestinian shepherds in West Bank

Ma'an – The homes of two shepherds were demolished on Thursday morning, in the herding hamlet of Khirbet Samra in the northern Jordan Valley.

Shortly before the demolitions, shepherds were handed orders saying the lands were zoned for military use, and that they did not have a license to be present.

The residents were forcibly evacuated before the demolitions, and told Ma'an that they had no notice of the event before it happened.
