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 child hit by Israeli settler's car

Ma'an – A Palestinian child was lightly injured after an Israeli settler's car ran into her in the As-Salayma district of Hebron on Sunday.

Medics said Narmin Rajeh Abu Rmeileh, 12, was taken to to Al-Ahli hospital in the southern West Bank city.

On Saturday, 19-year-old Bilal Idreis was moderately injured after a settler ran him over near the illegal Kiryat Arba settlement in eastern Hebron, medics said.

Hebron city is divided between Israeli-controlled Area C and Palestinian Authority jurisdiction, with a largely-religious settler population entrenched at the heart of the West Bank commercial center.

Around 700 Israeli settlers live protected by the army amongst 30,000 Palestinians in the old city area.
