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.

Palestinians & internationals to march on Jerusalem in "Olive Revolution"

Ma'an – Palestinians will march on Jerusalem from four directions in a coordinated protest organized by the "Olive-Revolution" movement on the last Friday of Ramadan, activists said Tuesday.

Activists accompanied by Israeli and international supporters will convene to launch the campaign by marching on Jerusalem from north, west, south and east, the Popular Struggle Coordination Committee stated.

The demonstrations will "emphasize the fact that Palestinians are systematically denied entry to the city Israel, despite it being part of the territory occupied in 1967," the popular committee said.
