Comments on: The Language Of Losing A Palestinian Baby http://www.black-iris.com/2007/05/14/the-language-of-losing-a-palestinian-baby/ A Jordanian Blog Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:06:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Guy http://www.black-iris.com/2007/05/14/the-language-of-losing-a-palestinian-baby/#comment-68416 Guy Wed, 30 May 2007 15:30:41 +0000 http://www.black-iris.com/2007/05/14/the-language-of-losing-a-palestinian-baby/#comment-68416 The interesting question is: Amira Haas writes for Haaretz - the most respected Israeli newspaper out there. Where is an Arab twin of her, writing in the most prestigious Jordanian / Lebanese / Syrian / Bahraini / etc newspaper? Where are articles, in Arab press, talking sympathetically about the plight of Israeli settlers, interviewing, without bias, Israeli soldiers, etc etc? An absurd situation is there: one side has people taking as many sides as there are people and letting those sides be heard, while the other side.. well, is Al Jazeera at best.
