Midnight arrests. Defamation of human rights organizations. Expulsion of journalists. Human rights demonstrations broken up with violence. Censored films. Confiscated laptops.
That&#039;s just a fraction of the reality on the ground in Israel/Palestine that stands in contrast to the official story about &#039;the only democracy in the Middle East.&#039;
That&#039;s the [...]]]></description>

JERUSALEM – Israel will maintain a security presence along the eastern border of a future Palestinian state in order to prevent weapons smuggling, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday.
&#034;The ability to proliferate into contiguous areas thousands of rockets and missiles&#8230; is something that creates a monumental security problem,&#034; he [...]]]></description>

In far-away Haiti a terrible disaster has occured.
Within a few hours an Israeli aid mission was organized.


In near-by Gaza hundreds of houses lie in ruins.
The inhabitants do not ask for an aid mission.


Only that the Israeli government stops preventing
building materials from coming in.
