| Of course we notice that this report isn't by some unbiased organization, such as a UN human rights NGO. |

It's not censorship when you resign voluntarily. |

YOu don't suppose there is anything in-between objective reporting and "they make up stories about people israel maims and kills, and about attacks on palestinians and their property"?
Are you saying that you believe everything they write is the absolute truth and the organization gains nothing by embellishing, at the least, and out and out lying, at the extreme?
I take this groups report with a hefty dose of scepticism because they have a vested interest in embellishing any report to favor their viewpoint. I've seen enough reporting from reputable source (BBC, API, Rueters) to know that Palestinians and Israelis are fundamentally incapable of not accusing each other of atrocities. |

| Yeah fellfire, strange how the most numerous of the atrocities are committed by the IDF (many captured on camera) but still guys like you are prepared to castigate the Palestinians who continue their struggle for their lands against an infinitely superiorly armed and financed IDF against slingshots, small arms and occasionally WW2 replica rockets. |

Yeah, show me in my post where I support the IDF or the Israelis and castigate the Palestinians. Its guys like you that go ballistic when someone doesn't immediately side with the palestinians. Your first course of action is to accuse them of siding with the israelis. I don't side with either of these warring parties - let them kill each other off, the world would be a better place.
Just because I don't believe immediately believe the palestinians are telling the truth, doesn't mean I automatically believe the israelis are.

depends on if she was privately pressured or not/ an environment created to influence her resignation |
