Wolfgang, how is taking information from a journalist website which criticizes both sides, being "so carefully selected" A Bad Thing, as you seem to be suggesting?

What is needed is there to be a free flow of information on what is happening on the ground. I can handle conflicting reports, if I get enough of them. Because once I begin to hear the same sorts of reports coming from the same sources over and over, I can begin to distinguish between propagandazing, cheerleading, and actual reporting.

The majority of information the world is being fed right now out of the West Bank is either propaganda, or cheerleading for one side or the other (mostly Israel and the US' "war on terrorism").

I WANT to hear reporting from each side--I could care less whether it is "one sided". I am perfectly capable, after decades of newswatching, of sorting the wheat from the chaff, and knowing when authorities are lying to me.

Does anyone REALLY believe Ariel Sharon is going to work to build an independent Palestinian state when the violence ends, when his entire life has been dedicated to preventing it from ever happening?
