Gaza Attack News You Would Never See in US Media

Gaza Attack News You Would Never See in US Media

In a conflict where the Western news media have been largely prevented from reporting from Gaza because of restrictions imposed by the Israeli military, Al Jazeera has had a distinct advantage. It was already there.

There are six reporters in Gaza, two working for Al Jazeera English and four working for the much larger and more popular Arabic version of the network, which was created in 1996 with a $150 million grant from the emir of Qatar, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani. Al Jazeera describes itself on the air as “the only international broadcaster with a presence there.”

    this conflict has become an international issue for century, and even more, this has become everybody concern. The media from all over the world – wherever they from – has covered the conflict intensively, so the world would know every little thing happened there.
    I wish we had that cover for Lapindo disaster in Indonesia.

    it’s remembrance me at new age in Indonesia, when goverment restrictions information’s acces for their own interest. It’s so weird in the global information age like this time that policy is still running on, specially in the super power country as US. I smell a conspiracy.

    Konflik ini da dari dulu ada dan g pernah berakhir. Sebaiknya kalau emang PBB tu tugasnya menjaga perdamaian dunia hentikan dong serangan Israil tu. Jangan sampai da korban yang lebih banyak lagi.

    Ngeri ih, lihat berita-berita tentang jalur Gaza. Kasian generasi muda mereka nantinya, bisa jadi benci turun temurun ya. Hidup koq diliputi kebencian, apa ga capek?

    Masih untung tapi mereka ya Om, dicekal beritanya masih ada internet, coba jaman blande dulu kita ada internet, ga bakalan betah mereka di negara kita.

    Emang sebelum reformasi keadaan komuinikasi kita kayak gitu juga ya, ga bebas akses? Maaf cuman nanya, Moy kan waktu itu masih segede pentil, lum iso baca yg aneh-aneh, ga kayak sekarang. Lum kenal inet lagiii
