According to the latest Near East Consulting poll, 57% of West Bank Arabs feel that they do not have complete freedom of expression.
In Gaza, the number is not much higher, at 63%.

This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For over 14 years and 30,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
