Role of the Media:
THE TWO FACES OF HA'ARETZ
Jonathan Cook, Electronic Intifada, 5 April 2003

"Dear reader, as Israel slides ever deeper into a morass
of racism and ethnic solipsism, please do not rely too
heavily on Haaretz to understand how or why this 'light
unto the nations' has grown so dim." Jonathan Cook
examines the politically significant differences between
the English and Hebrew versions of a newspaper thought to
be the conscience of Israel.

ANOTHER BUSY DAY FOR IDF BULLDOZERS
Gila Svirsky, writing from Occupied Jerusalem
Electronic Intifada Diaries, 5 April 2003

"They had to do 16 houses by sundown, and they couldn't
start until the men who live in them had gone off to work
in the morning. But those machines are tireless, and by
the end of the day, you could find 16 families sitting on
heaps of rubble, weeping and cursing. Children, too." Gila
Svirsky of the Coalition of Women for Peace reports on
another average day in Occupied Palestine.
