Kevin Squires, National Coordinator of the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign has a written an article for the Irish magazine Rabble which looks at the Irish media and its shameful lack of coverage of the cold-blooded murder of two unarmed Palestinian teenagers last week, even though the killings were caught on video. Below is an excerpt [I]t seems the heavily edited Reuters piece wasn’t deemed newsworthy enough for the Irish Times website, where perhaps an expanded report could have been published, and the videos even embedded for readers to see for themselves. On the other hand, a fluff piece – with accompanying … Continue reading →

On February 10th the longest running current affairs program in the world, ABC Australia’s ‘Four Corners’ ran a 45 minute piece on the maltreatment of Palestinian children by the Israeli occupation forces. This video is shocking, horrifying and contains images that may disturb viewers. Nevertheless, it is essential viewing. This is not how a normal state acts, and by refusing to sanction this rogues state for its abuses, Western governments become complicit in these crimes against children.
