Interesting News Story
Have a look at the story at http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2004/08/16/prisoners040816.html
At the beginning they say that these prisoners are on a hunger strike for "more family visits, telephone access and an end to strip searches". At the end they quote the Palestinian Prime Minister as saying "We fully support the legitimate demands of the prisoners and the ending of the policy of collective punishment, torture and terror by the Israeli prison administration against the prisoners and their families." Does this sound like torture and terror? Surely the Palestinian Prime Minister would not be exaggerating in order to put the Israelis in a bad light?!!!
Don't get me wrong, the secular state of Israel does lots of things that are wrong, but the bias of the international media is definitely in favour of the Palestinians!
