Al Gore’s Current TV presents a shockingly simplistic piece about women in the IDF. Wow, look at those big guns and planes:
Israel – remover of Palestinians
The outrage in East Jerusalem – throwing Palestinians out of their homes and allowing Jewish settlers full access to the land – is powerfully highlighted by Al-Jazeera: The face of Israel to the world.
