Committee for Accuracy in
Middle East Reporting in America (www.camera.org)
This site seeks to point out biases in reporting on issues pertaining to
Israel. It asks readers to subscribe (it is free) to it in order to obtain
periodic e-mail's (somewhere around 4-10 per week) alerting subscribers to
issues with specific media coverage of Israel. The organization then asks
for subscribers to take specific written action to assist in correcting the bias
or inaccuracy. The site has been successful in getting retractions and
corrections made.

Commentary and Articles
Jewish World Review (jewishworldreview.com), provides commentary (many well known political writers), about a myriad of political and Jewish issues. This site tends toward the conservative side politically but does have interesting articles about Judaism and Jews.
Michael Kelly's article titled "Israel's Remarkable Restraint"
found in various sources. Here I include links to it on
jewishworldreview.com. His current article (the one mentioned above and
dated 8/30/01) can be found by clicking:

When his next article comes out (it is a weekly column), you can still find the
article by going to the bottom of the page and going into his
"archive" of articles, or by clicking:

Opposing view links
These links are for Arab and Palestinian news and propaganda sources. They are included here so that we can keep an eye on how Israel and the United States are reported in some of the news sources that part of the world reads. Much of this is not for the faint of heart (don't read this while you are driving). We do not endorse these sites, but we found them frightening their views, views you should read about and know about.
