"The Palestinian Authority government has also warned Palestinian journalists
against helping Western correspondents cover the crackdown. If Abu Rihan were a
Chinese dissident imprisoned in Beijing, his case would have been endorsed by
human rights groups around the world and the mainstream media in the West. Had
Abu Rihan been arrested by the Israeli authorities for such a crime, his story
would most likely have made it to the front page of many respected newspapers.
The Palestinian Authority does not want anyone to report about corruption and
abuse of power out of fear that this would affect financial aid from the US, EU
and other countries."
"It would also help immensely of these activists came to the West Bank and
Gaza Strip to offer advice on, and help in building, proper government
institutions, and in combatting administrative and financial corruption. But as
far as many of the pro-Palestinian activists in the West Bank and Gaze are
concerned, the interests of the Palestinians are not as important as hating
Israel."
