Caught in the MEMRI mouse trap
Tom Wallace on the last week’s “big” news:
While all of this air-time was being devoted to the mouse, some real news about the region with genuine political implications was completely ignored:
1. World Bank criticizes Israel over Palestinian economy: Describing a system of apartheid that has devastated the Palestinian economy without naming it as such, the World Bank warned of the consequences if this continues.
2. Israel plans new Jerusalem settlement: In response to the report, Israel
announced the approval of plans to further Judaize Jerusalem, bringing the number of settlers living illegally on Palestinian land in the Occupied West Bank to 570,000.3. Shot West Bank woman ‘loses baby’: During an Israeli army raid in the West Bank, a pregnant woman was shot in the stomach and lost her baby.
