dano777 rated 3 months ago- A very detailed account of Israel by an Aussie reporter, very unbiased.

- The foreign editor of Australian, a leading newspaper in Australia, has written a powerful article. Please take a look. ~CG http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23072242-7583,00.html Encountering Israel Assigned to cover both the Palestinian territories and Israel, most Mideast reporters can't do both. So they cover the territories, writing about Israel only as a brooding and malign presence. This is why reporting on Israel is one-sided, writes one foreign editor. (The Australian)

- A remarkably sensible, sensitive, and well-paced article about that place "alongside the [Palestinian] territories": Israel. I do wish I could read more such pieces in the media, about any topic: thoroughly researched, well-written, and thoughtful. Is that too much to ask for?

- Deep inside the plucky country - IN a land of stark, powerful and sometimes bizarre images, as Israel is, perhaps the most ghostly for an Australian are the countless gum trees that populate Israel, the north especially.

- From the page: "The world media makes a mistake by using the same reporters to cover the Palestinian territories as well as Israel. They can't do both, and most don't try to. They cover the territories and they only cover Israel as a brooding and malign presence in the territories. Naturally the reporting is one-sided. But it is worse than that. It omits from the equation Israel and the Israelis, and all the countless enthralling and diverse aspects of Israeli politics and society. It is ever the fate of stable, democratic countries, even those involved in a conflict, to be under-reported. Israel was more reported a few years ago, when terrorists were murdering 1500 of its citizens a year. Now, with the security barrier, wrongly labelled a wall when it is mostly a fence, terrorist infiltration is much more difficult and perhaps a dozen or so Israelis are killed a year by terrorists. Although Israel is a physically small country - it's one-third the size of Tasmania - most of its seven million people distribute themselves over incredibly diverse cities."
