Summary: Reporting events in the occupied territories is becoming increasingly difficult for both Palestinian and Israeli journalists. This piece is not self-contained. Please see transcript for intro. (14:47)
This is very straight ahead, even-handed journalism, and it never comes across as academic or preachy. In under 15 minutes, this piece manages to be incredibly informative, thoughtful, and emotional. It isn’t often enough that a story turns its attention to the manner in which the Middle East is reported. And it is rarer still that such a story can be, at the same time, so engaging and never ranty or accusatory. This is a common sense choice for anyone looking for extra Middle East coverage. It offers perspective and most surprisingly, it also manages to somehow leave you with a sense that maybe there is still some hope of peace.
