... they want, criticize the prime minister, the defense minister, the IDF. You can write all these horrible things against Israel and still walk in downtown Jerusalem. But when it comes to covering the Palestinian territories, the story is completely different. You can't wake up in the morning as a foreign journalist and drive on your own into a Palestinian village. You can't just show up and say “Good morning, I work for the New York Times, can I speak to Hamas please.” It doesn' read ...
A Minority Report from the West Bank and Gaza

... Well, I'm not pro-anything other than the facts and the truth. As a journalist I don't have any problem working for any newspaper that provides me with a platform. I don't care if it's Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or even Buddhist.
And to be honest with you, I find it ironic that as an Arab Muslim living in this part of the world that I have to work for a Jewish newspaper or for the international media in order to be able to practice any kind of real journalism.

A Palestinian Journalist on Freedom in Palestine
The Jawa Report —
... by Khaled Abu Toameh, a Palestinian journalist who lives and works in Israel. I'm not sure what to throw up as the teaser highlight because there's so much here. How about the part where Toameh recounts how Arab "fixers" make sure MSM reporting from Gaza and the West Bank is sufficiently distorted and biased? Or about how critics of Fatah were systematically killed and jailed? Or how Western money was used to fund anti-Western propaganda? I dunno, it's probably just better if you read it all .

Khaled Abu Toameh on where we stand today
Israel Matzav —
Khaled Abu Toameh on where we stand today [image] Michael Totten has a transcript of a talk given by JPost 'Palestinian' affairs reporter Khaled Abu Toameh (Hat Tip: Little Green Footballs ). It's long and it's fascinating. I'm going to give you a few excerpts, but I strongly urge you to read the whole thing. When I tried to alert my foreign colleagues in 1995, 1996, and 1997, to the fact that there was corruption in the Palestinian Authority, many of them asked me if I was on the payroll of the Jewish Lobby. I wanted to know where was this Jewish Lobby? If ...

... Michael Totten met Toameh a few weeks ago on his trip to Israel sponsored by the American Jewish Committee. Toameh spoke on the record with Totten's group and Totten has posted a transcript of Toameh's remarks here. They are worth reading in their entirety. Hudson New York has coincidentally posted Toameh's comments on ...

... misunderstanding. And they have assumed leaders who did not exist as a way to conjure a preferable reality. Each of these approaches has failed and if those who will be handling the Middle East portfolio in the Obama administration want to understand why, they should spend a little time listening to the extraordinary Palestinian journalist Khaled Abu Toameh. Recently, he gave a wide-ranging interview to a group of Americans visiting Israel, including Michael J. Totten who posted a transcript on his indispensable website.
