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.

Israeli protesters display racist slogans against interfaith couples

IMEMC- On Monday evening, approximately 200 people gathered in the city of Bat Yam, southern Tel Aviv-Jaffa, to protest against interfaith couples, under the banner "We Want a Jewish Bat Yam." The Major condemned the event.

The demonstrators explained that they wanted to show their concern about the 'Arabs who are taking our daughters', referring to the relationships between local Jewish women and Arab men.

During the rally, the speakers remarked that they were "just Jews," not racist, but the protesters repeatedly insulted Arabs and Islam's holy figures. One of the demonstrators also exclaimed "Any Jewish woman who goes with an Arab should be killed; any Jew who sells his home to an Arab should be killed," Israeli new source Ynet quoted.

The rally was also a platform to support the recent letter signed by about 50 municipal rabbis, in which they urged Jewish not to rent apartments to Arabs. Read more
