with heart, pain &love for hurted Palestine

As a journalist I love being first with the news so when I was handed a red hot exclusive story a few hours ago I could barely contain myself.

the media continues to give “Viva Palestina” a wide berth, with a few notable exceptions...

This is a real shame because they've really missed out on some excellent stories including:
*Heroic convoy members saving the lives of Moroccan policemen after a near-fatal road crash near Fes.
*Heroic London mother-of-six battling cancer continues her mercy mission for the sake of the children of Gaza.
*History in the making as Morocco and Algeria open their land borders for the first time in nearly two decades to let the mercy convoy pass.

Of course most of those making the headlines are Muslims and as we know, the Islamaphobic media in Britain prefers to write about Muslims in a negative way.
But this flawed news judgment reflects badly on them and not the "Viva Palestina" crew who come from all parts of Britain - they might not have been born in the UK but they are doing their adopted country proud.
