Olive stumps
Israeli journalism is self-censoring. Ellen Davidson, at Indypendent (who posts this photograph of olive stumps, left by Israeli actions in the West Bank), describes everything that Israeli journalists are missing in the West Bank, and gives this report:
Yesterday I was interviewed by a reporter from the Jerusalem Post. She had contacted Jeff Halper, the founder of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD), about the organization’s seventh annual summer house-rebuilding camp, in which I am participating. He invited her to come out to the camp and see what we were doing. She couldn’t, she told him, “because we’re not allowed to go to the West Bank.”
“This is what passes for investigative journalism in this country,” Jeff remarked.
