3. actually.....no.....
Edited on Fri Jul-22-05 01:26 AM by pelsar
reporters in the westbank and gaza have been know to "self censor" themselves since they want to stay alive......

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=21936

and given the internet etc. its hardly difficult to send out images the "israel" doesnt want to be seen......

of course the Committee to Protect Journalists,...is hardly enthralled with the way the PA threatens journalists either.....

"he pro-PA Palestinian Journalists' Association threatened to take action against journalists who covered internal strife. In June, the association announced a ban "on dealing with or handling any type of statements that touch on internal events and carry between their lines words that slander, libel or harm others." It said journalists who violated this code would be punished, though it did not specify how."

the lack of freedom of the press within the palestenian areas is a palestenains affair..blaiming israel for their own racist policies is simply......absurd....

the idea the palestenians are not responsable for their own actions is not a good idea...statehood requires responsability and owing up to one actions, good and bad, without which their state will simply join the list of failed states...and israel will undoubtly be blamed.
