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 minister: US will veto Palestine declaration to become state

Ma'an – Israeli officials have said that the US will use its veto if the UN Security Council decides to vote on approving an independent Palestinian state.

Israel Radio reported that the US supports negotiations rather than unilateral steps.

Israeli minister Uzi Landau said Israel should announce the annexation of several huge settlement outposts and the Jordan Valley if the Palestinians announce statehood at the UN.

He also said that Israel must put an end to Hamas’ "war of attrition" that he said was being waged against Israel. He also said that there should be a much larger-scale attack on Gaza than the current escalation.
