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 parliament member calls for resumption of Israeli assassination strategy, says US assassination of Bin Laden came from Israeli precedent

PNN – Chairman of the Israeli Parliamentary Committee for Foreign Affairs and Security Shaul Mofaz of the right wing Kadima asked the Israeli government to assassinate Palestinian leaders like the US did with Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan.

Mofaz added that the US new assassination strategy comes from Israel’s policies of targeting Palestinian leaders after the attack on the Israeli Olympics team in Germany back in 1972.

During an interview with the Israeli radio on Tuesday morning Mofaz said that assassination strategy Israel did proved to be successful adding that it must be resumed targeting Hamas leaders based in Gaza if attacks comes from there.

Even though the international law prohibits the use of extra judicial assassination policies, Mofaz said that this is legitimate act.
