"At my meeting with The Green Line team, I reinforced the fundamentals of journalism, especially the fact that we should never tell people how or what to think, but rather provide them with rigorously reported information that enables them to come to their own conclusions and make their own decisions. We must also be responsible in the way we deliver this information; positioning opinion as fact does a disservice to the public and inherently feels antidemocratic." ~ Applause for this statement which identifies an element missing from most journalism today.
I highly recommend the book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" by Jimmy Carter, the only US president to deliver a peace treaty between Israel and any Muslim neighbour (Egypt), one which has lasted over 40 years. Carter was viciously attacked and accused of being a shill for powerful Arab interests, but I think his contribution was of vital importance.
