Journalists
arrive at this view based both on experiences in their own native lands as
standard bearers for minority rights and other liberal causes, but also as a
result of their reliance on local assistance here in Israel.
Since very few of the foreign correspondents in Israel are fluent in
Hebrew or Arabic, they rely on a network of local sources as well as the
service of “fixers,” locals
who can “fix” situations for them. Much
of the current conflict is raging in Area A (under full Palestinian Authority
(PA) control) so it is not surprising that the fixers are generally young US
educated Palestinians who know how to operate in PA territory and who
introduce the journalists to their circle of acquaintances.
