Under a new, ultra-nationalist Israeli government, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, violence in the occupied Palestinian territories has been escalating at an alarming rate.But the continuing human rights abuses, including the theft of Palestinian land to pave the way for Jewish settlers, are not portrayed as such in the Israeli news media. They either ignore the brutality of the occupation or present a military-friendly version of the story - and neither option is good enough for the Israeli government, which has voices of dissent in its crosshairs.Contributors:Oren Zviv - Journalist, +972 MagGideon Levy - Columnist, HaaretzDiana Buttu - Lawyer and analystOmar Baddar - Political analystOn our radar:The death of one of Rwanda's most prolific investigative journalists - John Williams Ntwali - has sparked suspicion because of how murky the official narrative on his death is.

The kind of misunderstandings that reading the books of the “other” is supposed to correct.
