Hello all – Please take a moment to watch a video I produced with two North American journalists in Israel. I’m currently filming, producing, and editing news shorts from the Middle East and hope to be releasing more on a regular basis. Please distribute the link widely! http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-05-21/how-i-got-gassed-in-the-west-bank/?cid=hp:beastoriginalsC2
How I Got Gassed in the West Bank

Max Blumenthal When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Barack Obama at the White House on Monday, he warned the president that time was running out to stop a nuclear Iran. By impressing upon Obama the immediacy of the threat from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Netanyahu hoped to avoid committing to the two-state solution he and his right-wing governing partners have so far openly and forcefully opposed. While Netanyahu attempts to recalibrate the discussion toward Iran, his government continues a vast expansion of the occupation of the West Bank, creating “facts on the ground” to fulfill the vision of a Greater Israel. http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-05-21/how-i-got-gassed-in-the-west-bank/?cid=hp:beastoriginalsC2
