Apr-16-2012 16:08 ![]() ![]() Palestine/Israel Story Missed by Much of US MediaRod Driver Salem-News.comThis strange story is being covered by Israeli papers such as Yediot Aharonot and Maariv. But it is ignored by most U.S. media.
(RICHMOND, R.I.) - Palestinians and Israelis have been preparing for weeks to greet international visitors to Bethlehem. Several hundred were expected from Europe and the United States. But Israeli authorities do not want outsiders to see life in the occupied territories. So they ordered airlines flying in from other countries not to allow passengers destined for Bethlehem to board. And those airlines complied. Some visitors who did get in were required to sign statements that they would not meet with pro-Palestinian organizations. As Stan Heller notes, Israel has decided there are new crimes: 1) being pro-Palestinian, i.e. believing that Palestinian have human rights and 2) staging "provocations", i.e. peaceful actions which expose government repression. This strange story is being covered by Israeli papers such as Yediot Aharonot and Maariv. But it is ignored by most U.S. media. An exception is the following from yesterday’s NY Times. _________________________________
