There’s more to Gaza than broken slabs of concrete

Many of the people I’ve spoken to in Gaza City don’t object to foreign coverage of the Gaza Strip in the slightest. In fact, Gazans consider that media attention gives them an opportunity to put Palestine in the public eye.
But there is a certain level of resentment towards journalists that only grows whenever these efforts to inform the world fail to go beyond depressing reports on Palestine’s latest political tensions. The people of Gaza are well aware that these efforts fail to depict the full reality of Gaza’s quality of life. This is a failure that journalists must rectify for the sake of honest reporting.

Mikel Zuloaga Uriarte fue procesado por Garzón acusado de diseñar el proyecto de desobediencia civil ‘Encender Euskal Herria’.
Un histórico militante abertzale es uno de los activistas propalestinos españoles que se encuentran en la Embajada española en Atenas en huelga de hambre. Se trata de Mikel Zuloaga Uriarte, alias ‘Mikelon’, condenado a diez años de cárcel en 2007 por la Audiencia Nacional por un delito de colaboración con ETA y absuelto dos años después por el Tribunal Supremo.

Hundreds of European pro-Palestinian activists are converging on Israel, creating a security (and potentially a p.r.) headache for Israel. Tellingly, the spokesman for this “Welcome to Palestine” provocation is one Mazin Qumsiyeh.
Given all the attention the media is providing these activists, it seems worth repeating the following from post of mine from a few years ago, “Who is Mazin Qumsiyeh?”

‘Like for Israel’ takes on flotilla advocacy

In a sparsely furnished office on Sokolov Street in Herzliya, Niv Calderon and Barak Hachamov are attempting to start a social media revolution.
It’s Tuesday, and the pair is busy holding closed-door meetings, phones glued to their ears. Outside their office door is the “Flotilla Situation Room” where volunteers at computer workstations are busy media monitoring, researching and posting information about the 2011 flotilla to proisraeli.org.
« Marmara »: le Rapport de l’ONU épingle la Turquie

Ouste les activistes pro-palestiniens de tous poils qui prétendent forcer le blocus israélien « illégal » de la Bande de Gaza ! La Commission « Palmer » diligentée par l’ONU après les événements de mai 2010 va rendre son Rapport, qui confirme la thèse israélienne sur la légalité du blocus imposé à l’enclave terroriste de Gaza. De la sorte, les tentatives d’intrusion des expéditions maritimes étaient et sont illégales et Israël est tout à fait dans son droit de les stopper.
