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.

American-Arab anti-discrimination group marks anniversary of director's murder

In addition to killing Alex Odeh, the bomb injured several other victims.

Alex was ADC’s Southern California Regional Director, a published poet, a lecturer of Arabic Language and Middle East history at Coastline College in Santa Ana, and a tireless peace activist.
