(Comment to a misleading CNN report, part XI.)

If you would have spent three months - in a minor role, but still - trying to raise awareness of the plight of the Palestinian hunger striking political prisoners like Samer Issawi and Ayman Sharawna, you would be bitter and frustrated too.

CNN told in mid-February that they were looking at reporting about Samer Issawi. That's almost two months ago and the suspicion is that they are just waiting for him to die before they report about him.

BBC has refused to directly report, declaring that Samer's case would have to reach much more publicity before it itself is ready to give it publicity.

There has been at least three protests before BBC headquarters main entrance, people with banners giving out leaflets and it has gone all unreported by BBC and other mainstream media alike.

Three times BBC has mentioned Samer Issawi and other hunger strikers off-handedly in news articles, when Israel has been killing those who have protested for them.

Among the dead belong young Mahmoud al-Titi, who organized protests for the hunger strikers on the West Bank and was killed by Israeli troops shooting him in the head with dum-dum bullets. His death was possibly a targeted assassination.
