Cradle of faith, cauldron of news
Article Abstract:
There is intense international media interest in events in Israel, and even small developments there receive extensive coverage. This has been heightened by the ability of Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to manipulate the media. The Middle East peace process has also served to greatly increase the volume of news coming out of Israel. There are many Jewish and Palestinian people living in other countries who are very interested in developments in Israel, and interest is also prompted by the fact that there are no other major international disputes at present.

Poisoned Tigris spreads tide of death in Iraq
Article Abstract:
Contaminated drinking water has become a significant cause of deaths among young Iraqi children. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers have become extremely dirty, especially downstream, and electricity shortages make it very difficult to pump clean drinking water. Lack of fresh water is also having a negative impact on agriculture. Many people who fall ill as a result of drinking contaminated water cannot receive the medical treatment they require.
