Look at the language of Israeli propaganda in US media: " As every Friday in Ramadan, the Israeli authorities allow West Bank men older than 45 and women over 35 into Jerusalem to pray, said Shlomo Dror, spokesman for the coordinator of government activities in the territories." In other words, US media could not say the obvious: that Israel BANNED men who are less than 45 and women less than 35. They would do anything to make Israel look better. So instead of writing that Israel killed "a number" of Palestinians, the US media would like to state that some Palestinians were NOT killed by Israel today. I still don't understand why the Israeli government spends millions in propaganda expenditure in the US. They really don't have to. US Congress and media do it for free.
