Threat to Journalists & International Humanitarian Volunteers, denial of our right to know what is REALLY going on.

"Teeti who worked as reporter for Al Jazeera Channel and reporter for Reuters told Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) that he was attacked early this morning by Israeli forces. He added that the Israeli forces intended to open fire on him because the word of '' Press'' is written on his car in three languages."

NGOs and various peace groups have all been targetter in a sophisticated campaign of vilification, brute force and even murders (suspected, but obviousy never proven in a court).

Israeli authorities have targetted Journalists as well as civilians: articles being corrobated, coming soon

NGOs & Journalists, Christian Charities & even the UN are deliberately targetted by the arrogant, criminal Israeli government & their forces of state terror.  Still supported by President Obama (recently increased funding, weapons supply and waived import tariffs on Israeli goods) and Gordon Brown (eggs them on with rewards of closer ties in academic and business spheres and even hugged suspected war criminal Ehud Barack before inviting him to dinner) & David Miliband et al.

Prepare yourselves for one of the trashiest pieces of journalism we ever saw - the fact that HAMAS made a unilateral ceasefire declaration at a time when Israel has made no genuine significant move back towards peace talks is totally unreported by this pro radical Zionist rag.

IDF Says Rocket Fire Down, Hamas Threat Present BY DAVID BEDEIN, MIDDLE EAST CORRESPONDENT SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2009 Jerusalem – Exactly one year after Israel’s incursion into Gaza, assessments are being made of the results of the operation. There has been a 90 percent drop in rocket fire at Israel since the end of its military operation in Gaza, according to figures assembled by the Sderot Media Center for Information in the Western Negev and also by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesperson’s bureau. The figures show that since the last of the soldiers left the Gaza Strip, 242 rockets were fired at Israel, but only a very small number exploded in populated areas. In February, immediately after the operation, 88 rockets were fired at Israel, in March, 76 rockets were fired, and then the fire dropped significantly. In June and July, for example, only three rockets were fired at Israel and, in November, 13 rockets. Since the end of the operation, the IDF attacked 143 targets throughout the Gaza Strip in response to high-trajectory fire. Among the targets were tunnels used for arms smuggling and for smuggling activists. The majority of the attacks took place in February and March, when the rocket fire was greater. The IDF believes that the quiet in the Gaza Strip in the past year is fragile, since Hamas continues to operate without pause underneath the surface and is renewing its smuggling practices through Philadelphi Road and by sea. The IDF also continues its preparations for a future threat against the home front. The IDF Home Front Command is preparing to brief the population living at a distance of up to 60 miles from the Gaza Strip for a possible confrontation. The IDF does not rule out the possibility that Hamas has rockets which could reach that population area. David Bedein an be reached at bedein@thebulletin.us

"Christian Aid has always been unequivocal in its support for the security of Israel and the rights of all Israeli people to live safely and securely. We believe the Palestinians should be afforded the same rights.

Our current appeal for Gaza is based on the humanitarian imperative. We assert that Israel’s blockade of the strip over the past year and a half had already created a humanitarian crisis, with shortages of the most basic items such as fuel, medicines and food affecting the civilian population.

The recent war [massacre] has compounded the situation [polite way of saying made it 100 times worse] and there is an immediate need for humanitarian relief on a considerable scale followed by vital work to rebuild the economy and communities destroyed.

The latest attacks on Gaza have left more than a thousand dead and thousands more wounded. Hospitals are severely stretched. Schools, homes, farms and industry have been damaged or destroyed.

Many thousands of people remain homeless; shortages of essential humanitarian supplies remain, while electricity cuts leave people without water, heat and light in the middle of winter. [that was last winter, now it is winter again & Obama & Brown et al have done NOTHING other than skillfully preserver their preference - the status quo]

On 10 January, a primary health care clinic in Gaza city, funded by Christian Aid, was [deliberately & cynically] destroyed by Israeli missile fire. The clinic, which provided free care to Gazans was run by the Near East Council of Churches, a Christian Aid partner organisation.

 

More about the Gaza clinic

The owners of the two-storey building received a telephone warning to evacuate the building within 15 minutes. The building was evacuated quickly, just before a warning shot was fired. That was followed by a direct hit from missiles fired by an Israeli air-force jet.

This completely destroyed the building and its contents, including hundreds of thousands of pounds of medical equipment.

Without immediate and unfettered humanitarian access thousands will go cold, hungry and be unable to rebuild their lives."

The Zionist lobby are still editing US media, now more stringently than ever

Kara was traveling between the U.S. and Palestine when she came across two conflicting Newsweek issues.  The international version had a sympathetic article about the "Plight of the Palestinians" at the top.  The same article was not only absent from the corresponding U.S. Newsweek cover... it was omitted from the entire magazine.  This is only one example.  If it were the only example, we might find a reasonable explanation, but systematic comparisons between US and international media show us that this is a pattern. No need to take my word for it--do a comparison yourself.
