Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) featured our 2012 article: A New York Times’ headline reported that Palestinians in Gaza attacked Israel first. But the article itself explained that the rockets only came after Israelis attacked Gaza with an airstrike first, killing a Palestinian and injuring several others.
Just 42% of Gazans were allowed to travel to Israel for medical treatment last December. Cancer rates among Palestinian children have increased by 40% since 2008, but their parents are sometimes told by Israel to become informants if they want their children to cross the border for treatment. Appointment delays for Palestinian patients are the highest they’ve ever been recorded.
(Jerusalem, March 1, 2017, Human Rights Watch) – Israel has been detaining Palestinian residents of Gaza under an obscure law that strips away meaningful judicial review and due process rights, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights and Human Rights Watch said today.

Intensified Israeli attacks against Gaza are reminiscent of the leadup to its previous wide-scale invasions of Gaza, most recently “Operation Protective Edge.” Human rights groups calls on the interntional community to prevent it.
It’s taboo to talk about exactly what happened on that day, and it’s taboo to talk about how Israel’s abuses provoked the attack.

With Religious Zionism dominating key institutions of the Israeli state, police and courts fail to hold its adherents accountable for attacks on Christian communities
Israeli soldiers “prevented us from even passing near [our own land], then they bulldozed it all… They left us with nothing to live on.” Israeli forces have bulldozed hundreds of olive trees in the West Bank.
“By unilaterally declaring the power to seize Palestinian land, property, and buildings for their own use without consent, compensation or readdress, the Board of Peace is taking a page out of Israel’s repressive playbook, said one analyst. The prospective immunity resolution titled “RESOLUTION NO 2026/3” has not been shared with the Palestinian cohort, an official said
Israeli soldiers and settlers commit daily acts of violence in the occupied Palestinian territory with near-total impunity. By contrast, Palestinians are being arrested en masse, deprived of critical safeguards in detention, and subjected to torture and ill-treatment. In addition, recently introduced legislation will make it easier for Israeli courts to issue death sentences for Palestinians.
Israel, and its allies in Congress, want to replace military assistance with something much worse. Here’s what you need to know.
