 * 1)  “American media coverage has been unequivocal in the placing of blame squarely at the feet of Hamas for hampering possibilities of Palestinian statehood in the foreseeable future.”
 * 2)  “Substantive condemnations of Israel and the U.S. for denying Palestinian statehood and engaging in terrorism against the Palestinian people have predictably been out of bounds, as only Hamas' acts of terror are deemed to be a salient issue.”
 * 3)  “the one-sided blame placed upon Hamas for the failure of peace represents more a propaganda strategy than a legitimate reporting of the reality on the ground.”
 * 4)  “For only a few of the most recent examples of such efforts, one need look only to the wall being constructed by Israel, which cuts deep into Palestinian territory, unofficially annexing as much as 10% of Palestinian lands by some estimates.”
 * 5)  “The International Court of Justice condemned the wall as an egregious violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions, although one would hardly know this by reading American media coverage.”
 * 6)  “It is difficult to argue that the wall is intended primarily for security purposes (rather than a land grab), considering that the wall could have provided the same level of security if it was built on the //Israeli// side of the 1967 green line border, rather than the Palestinian side.”
 * 7)  “a serious challenge to the longstanding American practice of uncritical support for Israel, regardless of its violent provocations and illegal military occupation, which has now entered its 4th decade.”
