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.

Israel demolished 12 tent homes, closes off Palestinian village

Ma'an – A military closure order over the village of Amniyr in the southern West Bank was renewed until Monday following the demolition of 12 tent homes earlier in the week, observers said.

A group from the Christian Peacemaker Teams said the first military order was issued on May 6 when the demolitions of the homes were carried out. It was the third time the homes have been taken down.

The demolition orders say the herding community is residing illegally on land designated for military use.
