Dear Editor:

Have you ever noticed that it appears all of the reporting about the goings on in Gaza all come from the Gaza Strip? Also, all of the reporters seem to have Arabic names. Are you aware that there is no freedom of the press in Gaza? Thus, all of the dispatches are highly censored by the Hamas leadership. Nothing disparaging against the Palestinians is allowed to be sent out of Gaza to the free world. Thus, all we get is very biased reporting—fake news. What a shame. I’m sure if the Israeli wanted they too could provide coverage, which they do by the way, that would not be highly censored.

Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East which also has freedom of the press, gives a much more accurate account of the goings on in Israel (Gaza).
