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 sub crosses the Egyptian Suez Peninsula

IMEMC, July 4, 2009
Reuters reported that a Dolphin Israeli submarine crossed the Egyptian Suez Peninsula last month during a Navy drill.

The maneuver was seen as a message to Iran...

An Israeli official told Reuters that this maneuver showed Iran that Israel is capable of reaching the Arab Gulf, referred to by Israel as the Farsi Gulf, and that it can also reach the Indian Ocean easier than ever.

The official added that the Dolphin submarine can fire missiles, including nuclear warheads.
