I see there are no Palestinians living in the occupied territoris who contribute to the Mudcat Forum.

This conversation is grossly one-sided, with no representation from the Palestinian perspective whatsoever. Which is just the way the US and Israeli governments intend to keep it. The Israeli security forces have now effectively closed down the West Bank And Gaza as a "military zone" which means we will get precious little legitimate news reporting out of the area. Just like the US military did in Afghanistan, Panama, etc.

One lesson all the repressive western powers like the US, Britain, and Israel learned from Vietnam: keep the reporters out, so neither the facts or the truth gets told. Which is why the ANC in South Africa spent good money on their own satellite dishes.
