Reader Comments
An excellent article about the continual gradual ethnic cleansing that Israel is inflicting on the Palestinians. Most articles in the US mainstream media bend over backwards to avoid offending the Israel Lobby, and too often limit themselves to official statements from official sources. The mainstream media neglect what is really happening on the ground. Melinda Tuhus’s article shines as an antidote to the mainstream media.
And this is not the worst of it. Bad as the Palestinian predictament is on the West Bank, it’s far far worse in Gaza.
Congratulations to ITT for publishing the article.
