Action 7:
- Please challenge and engage local national and international Press, TV & Radio.
- Write wise letters, make polite but firm complaints over poor coverage.
- Phone them to chat about stuff! Also inform them about any events.
One thing in the long term which would really help the dire situation in Illegally Occupied Palestine is if American people and press were more aware or more open to the truth of what is happening on the ground.
One way we can make a huge difference is to post relevant truthfull information on the comment sections of their on-line media. American Jew Anna Baltzer whose grandparents were holocaust survivors has possibly done the best job of anyone in that country to bring the horrific truth to the people.

Quite frankly we believe they are a disgrace to British journalism. Apart from the people directly involved, virtually NONE of my intelligent friends (who previously thought they were "well informed") even heard of the December 2009/January 2010 Viva Palestina 250 truck, 500 person convoy of EMERGENCY aid to GAZA, and they certainly didn't see ANY in depth reporting, nor ANY journalists interviewing and challenging the pro Radical Zionist politicians who appear to be fully suppoerting the siege of Gaza.
