If only we knew

The current operation against Gaza and the ground offensive started by Israel yesterday leaves so many people at dispair, yet again. The media fights a war on its own over this conflict for many years and has created a jungle of information based on biased reporting that has manipulated even the most educated people. What is worse is that some information has been distorted badly adding to increasing anti-Palestinian propaganda. In order to establish peace and security for all people in this region, the facts must be correct and people should know the truth.


Back in February and March 2001 an Amercian freelance journalist called Alison Weir traveled independently throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip. She found a situation largely the reverse of what was being reported by the American media. Upon further examination of this issue for which she read dozens of books on the topic, she found that the U.S. press portrayal was significantly at odds with information being reported by media throughout the rest of the world. One of the results of her work is this website http://www.ifamericansknew.com/ which hopefully helps to clarify some vital issues in the ongoing Israeli/Palestinian conflict, so that everyone can make up their own informed opinion.
