09 January 2009 (Foreign journalists in Gaza)
Israel has reneged on a deal to allow foreign journalists to enter Gaza, giving the absurd excuse that they should have gone there two months ago.
The real reason is the same reason any country bars foreign journalists: to hide the truth.
The result, however, is not entirely what Israel desires. Rather, all reporting comes from Palestinians, and it presents Israel in a very bad light.
But Israel has a response to that. Israeli spokesmen claim that each report of dead civilians is a lie, and there are no foreign journalists to check. So it is just Israel's word against Palestinians. Who do you believe? I generally believe the Palestinians, even though I recognize that occasionally they may be lying.
