Yet to make the news: Jewish settlers attack elderly Palestinian and his family

It’s a bit strange sometimes how some certain stories do not make it into top news.

More and more grasroots journalists are showing up on the web every day, many of them being from conflict zones. Haitham Sabbah is a good example, picking up on major breaking news, even though he might seem politically biased and subjective through his comments (”YouTube Zionist censorship“).
