i am for the cause ,my best friend is form palestine and i love them being a spanish person i can relate too on how come they are so mad come on think about this would you be if you have to live behind a giant wall come on its 2006 not ancient europe and berlin alll over isreal is so full of lies and so full of deciet that they are getting sponserd by the USA to keep that wall up if the US stope donating money and the united nations steps in that wall comes down but here in the states american journalism is afraid to tackle the truth ,they thrive on the misery of others but one day the truth will surface and palsetine will regain her crown back ,to my brothers there to my people here lets fight the opresser not eachother and god help us all ,,,free palestine,

I notice that Palestinian spokesperson Dianne Buttu wears no headdress. Is she a Muslim?

Great, well done piece.

I dont see it as biased, rather it shows something mainstream media does not. AJB is showing us a window, and we need to see all the different sides of this complex, emotional issue, regardless of the political views we hold.

FREE PALESTINE!!!

This is great. I wish reports like this were more prominent on American television. Very well done, very professional.

Heavy. good job. hey if the news is not supposed to be biased and Current Tv is not the news then why cant we show the "news" from our own biased perspective. id rather see the youths opinion than a bullshit reporters "non biased"
Am I right?

I essentially agree with Dazz. At the same time, although I agree that the pieces definitely reveal an inherent bias, I don't think that striving for more balanced reporting is the solution. Let's face it, objectivity and unbiased reporting are myths and rarely obtained. It's like enlightenment for journalists, lots of people are focused on it but most are a long way from mastery.

I think with stories about such heavily charged issues as the Isreal and Palestine conflict, I more appropriate approach would have been to adopt a sort of naked journalisim approach and share with the viewer how YOU (AJB) feel about the conflict, I think it's important that you still try to capture both sides of the story but don't try to be objective. You've got strong feelings about this issue and it shows, be honest about that with us.

I think the problem with news today is not that it's biased. But that it's biased and pretends to be objective. Even without VO, the editing process is subjective and as such truly objective video journalism is a paradox that can only be unraveled by providing just the uncut rough footage as news -- which obviously makes no sense.

Anyhow AJB -- very well done. You've got skills, you've got balls, and you've got a voice. It'll take you places in the future and clearly already has. Congrats.

Very interesting material. Well put together and compelling.
I could see this on tv.

This is the other side of the story and welll told. Taken together AJB's work is extraordinary. No where else are you able to obtain this up to the minute, in-depth view of this highly volatile conflict.

I think it's great abj is filing from the Gaza strip. The material is well cut, compelling and told in a contemporary fashion. But the danger is that the reporting appears very biased. The Palestinians are portrayed as calculating, dangerous and unworthy recipients of the Gaza land. The Israelis on the other hand are victims giving away homes to potential terrorists. Perhaps more balance and less emotion would be appropriate for such a complex subject.

most impressive!!!

Another well done report.
