A former AP journalist tells the truth about news coverage about Israel
Matti Friedman speech on Israel given at the BICOM dinner in London on January 26.

I gradually began to be aware of certain malfunctions in the coverage of the Israel story – recurring omissions, recurring inflations, decisions made according to considerations that were not journalistic but political,
we sought to hint or say outright that Israeli soldiers were war criminals, and every detail supporting that portrayal was to be seized upon.
But an Israeli peace offer and its rejection by the Palestinians didn't suit OUR story. The bureau chief ordered both reporters to ignore the Olmert offer,
Neo-Nazi rallies at Palestinian universities or in Palestinian cities are not — I saw images of such rallies suppressed on more than one occasion. Jewish hatred of Arabs is a story. Arab hatred of Jews is not.
Our policy, for example, was not to mention the assertion in the Hamas founding charter that Jews were responsible for engineering both world wars and the Russian and French revolutions, despite the obvious insight this provides into the thinking of one of the most influential actors in the conflict.
100 houses in a West Bank settlement are a story. 100 rockets smuggled into Gaza are not.
The Hamas military buildup amid and under the civilian population of Gaza is not a story. But Israeli military action responding to that threat – that is a story,
Israel's responsibility for the deaths of civilians as a result – that's a story. Hamas's responsibility for those deaths is not
Israel's flaws were dissected and magnified, while the flaws of its enemies were purposely erased.
threats facing Israel were disregarded or even mocked as figments of the Israeli imagination,
a fictional image of Israel and of its enemies was manufactured, polished, and propagated to devastating effect by inflating certain details, ignoring others, and presenting the result as an accurate picture of reality.
The international press in Israel had become less an observer of the conflict than a player in it. It had moved away from careful explanation and toward a kind of political character assassination
Something toxic is driving this – " Jews are troublemakers, a negative force in world events, and that if these people, as a collective, could somehow be made to vanish, we would all be better off".
The occupation is not the conflict, which of course predates the occupation. It is a symptom of the conflict, a conflict that would remain even if the symptom were somehow solved.
an end to the occupation will create a power vacuum that will be filled, as all power vacuums in the region have been, not by the forces of democracy and modernity, which in our region range from weak to negligible, but by the powerful and ruthless, by the extremists
People observing this conflict from afar have been led to believe that Israel faces a simple choice between occupation and peace. That choice is fiction.
The Palestinian choice, it is said, is between Israeli occupation and an independent democracy. That choice, too, is fiction
The only group of people subject to a systematic boycott at present in the Western world is Jews, appearing now under the convenient euphemism "Israelis."
The only country that has its own "apartheid week" on campuses is the Jewish country.
No one cares that, "The human costs of the Middle Eastern adventures of America and Britain in this century have been far higher, and far harder to explain, than anything Israel has ever done. They have involved occupations, and the violence they unleashed continues."
the fashionable disgust for Israel among many in the West is not liberal but is selective, disproportionate, and discriminatory
The cult's priesthood can be found among the activists, NGO experts, and ideological journalists who have turned coverage of this conflict into a catalogue of Jewish moral failings,
boycotts of Israel, and only of Israel, which are one of the cult's most important practices, have significant support in the press, including among editors.
Sympathy for Israel's predicament is highly unpopular in the relevant social circles, and is something to be avoided by anyone wishing to be invited to the right dinner parties, or to be promoted.
the events in Gaza this summer were portrayed not as a complicated war but as a massacre of innocents.
The Jew is the perennial scapegoat for all that is wrong with the world.
As the journalist Charles Maurras wrote, approvingly, in 1911: "Everything seems impossible, or frighteningly difficult, without the providential arrival of anti-Semitism, through which all things fall into place and are simplified."
the global villain, as portrayed in newspapers and on TV, is none other than the Jewish soldier, or the Jewish settler. They are the heirs to the Jewish banker or Jewish commissar of the past.
The world isn't fixated on Israel despite everything else going on – but rather because of everything else going on.
One night several years ago, I came out of Bethlehem after a reporting assignment and crossed through the Israeli military checkpoint between that city and its neighbor, Jerusalem, where I live. With me were perhaps a dozen Palestinian men, mostly in their thirties – my age. No soldiers were visible at the entrance to the checkpoint, a precaution against suicide bombers. We saw only steel and concrete. I followed the other men through a metal detector into a stark corridor and followed instructions barked from a loudspeaker – Remove your belt! Lift up your shirt! The voice belonged to a soldier watching us on a closed-circuit camera. Exiting the checkpoint, adjusting my belt and clothing with the others, I felt like a being less than entirely human and understood, not for the first time, how a feeling like that would provoke someone to violence.
Consumers of news will recognize this scene as belonging to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, which keeps the 2.5 million Palestinians in that territory under military rule, and has since 1967. The facts of this situation aren't much in question. This should be an issue of concern to Israelis, whose democracy, military, and society are corroded by the inequality in the West Bank. This, too, isn't much in question.
The question we must ask, as observers of the world, is why this conflict has come over time to draw more attention than any other, and why it is presented as it is. How have the doings in a country that constitutes 0.01 percent of the world's surface become the focus of angst, loathing, and condemnation more than any other? We must ask how Israelis and Palestinians have become the stylized symbol of conflict, of strong and weak, the parallel bars upon which the intellectual Olympians of the West perform their tricks – not Turks and Kurds, not Han Chinese and Tibetans, not British soldiers and Iraqi Muslims, not Iraqi Muslims and Iraqi Christians, not Saudi sheikhs and Saudi women, not Indians and Kashmiris, not drug cartel thugs and Mexican villagers. Questioning why this is the case is in no way an attempt to evade or obscure reality, which is why I opened with the checkpoint leading from Bethlehem. On the contrary – anyone seeking a full understanding of reality can't avoid this question. My experiences as a journalist provide part of the answer, and also raise pressing questions that go beyond the practice of journalism.
I have been writing from and about Israel for most of the past 20 years, since I moved there from Toronto at age 17. During the five and a half years I spent as part of the international press corps as a reporter for the American news agency The Associated Press, between 2006 and 2011, I gradually began to be aware of certain malfunctions in the coverage of the Israel story – recurring omissions, recurring inflations, decisions made according to considerations that were not journalistic but political, all in the context of a story staffed and reported more than any other international story on earth. When I worked in the AP's Jerusalem bureau, the Israel story was covered by more AP news staff than China, or India, or all of the fifty-odd countries of sub-Saharan Africa combined. This is representative of the industry as a whole.
In early 2009, to give one fairly routine example of an editorial decision of the kind I mean, I was instructed by my superiors to report a second-hand story taken from an Israeli newspaper about offensive T-shirts supposedly worn by Israeli soldiers. We had no confirmation of our own of the story's veracity, and one doesn't see much coverage of things US Marines or British infantrymen have tattooed on their chests or arms. And yet T-shirts worn by Israeli soldiers were newsworthy in the eyes of one of the world's most powerful news organizations. This was because we sought to hint or say outright that Israeli soldiers were war criminals, and every detail supporting that portrayal was to be seized upon. Much of the international press corps covered the T-shirt story. At around the same time, several Israeli soldiers were quoted anonymously in a school newsletter speaking of abuses they had supposedly witnessed while fighting in Gaza; we wrote no fewer than three separate stories about this, although the use of sources whose identity isn't known to reporters is banned for good reason by the AP's own in-house rules. This story, too, was very much one that we wanted to tell. By the time the soldiers came forward to say they hadn't actually witnessed the events they supposedly described, and were trying to make a point to young students about the horrors and moral challenges of warfare, it was, of course, too late.
Also in those same months, in early 2009, two reporters in our bureau obtained details of a peace offer made by the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, to the Palestinians several months before, and deemed by the Palestinians to be insufficient. The offer proposed a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza with a capital in a shared Jerusalem. This should have been one of the year's biggest stories. But an Israeli peace offer and its rejection by the Palestinians didn't suit OUR story. The bureau chief ordered both reporters to ignore the Olmert offer, and they did, despite a furious protest from one of them, who later termed this decision "the biggest fiasco I've seen in 50 years of journalism." But it was very much in keeping not only with the practice at the AP, but in the press corps in general. Soldiers' vile t-shirts were worth a story. Anonymous and unverifiable testimonies of abuses were worth three. A peace proposal from the Israeli prime minister to the Palestinian president was not to be reported at all.
Vandalism of Palestinian property is a story. Neo-Nazi rallies at Palestinian universities or in Palestinian cities are not — I saw images of such rallies suppressed on more than one occasion. Jewish hatred of Arabs is a story. Arab hatred of Jews is not. Our policy, for example, was not to mention the assertion in the Hamas founding charter that Jews were responsible for engineering both world wars and the Russian and French revolutions, despite the obvious insight this provides into the thinking of one of the most influential actors in the conflict.
100 houses in a West Bank settlement are a story. 100 rockets smuggled into Gaza are not. The Hamas military buildup amid and under the civilian population of Gaza is not a story. But Israeli military action responding to that threat – that is a story, as we all saw this summer. Israel's responsibility for the deaths of civilians as a result – that's a story. Hamas's responsibility for those deaths is not. Any reporter from the international press corps in Israel, whether he or she works for the AP, Reuters, CNN, the BBC, or elsewhere, will recognize the examples I've cited here of what is newsworthy and what is not as standard operating procedure.
In my time in the press corps I saw, from the inside, how Israel's flaws were dissected and magnified, while the flaws of its enemies were purposely erased. I saw how the threats facing Israel were disregarded or even mocked as figments of the Israeli imagination, even as these threats repeatedly materialized. I saw how a fictional image of Israel and of its enemies was manufactured, polished, and propagated to devastating effect by inflating certain details, ignoring others, and presenting the result as an accurate picture of reality. Lest we think this is something that has never happened before, we might remember Orwell's observation about journalism from the Spanish civil war: "Early in life," he wrote, "I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which do not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. … I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what had happened but of what ought to have happened according to various 'party lines.'" That was in 1942.
Over time, I came to understand that the malfunctions I was witnessing, and in which I was playing a part, were not limited to the AP. I saw that they were rather part of a broader problem in the way the press functioned, and in how it saw its job. The international press in Israel had become less an observer of the conflict than a player in it. It had moved away from careful explanation and toward a kind of political character assassination on behalf of the side it identified as being right. It valued a kind of ideological uniformity from which you were not allowed to stray. So having begun with limited criticism of certain editorial decisions, I now found myself with a broad critique of the press.
Eventually, however, I realized that even the press wasn't the whole story. The press was playing a key role in an intellectual phenomenon taking root in the West, but it wasn't the cause, or not the only cause – it was both blown on a certain course by the prevailing ideological winds, and causing those winds to blow with greater force. Many journalists would like you to believe that the news is created by a kind of algorithm – that it's a mechanical, even scientific process in which events are inserted, processed, and presented. But of course the news is an imperfect and entirely human affair, the result of interactions between sources, reporters, and editors, all of whom bear the baggage of their background and who reflect, as we all do to some extent, the prejudices of their peers.
In the aftermath of last summer's Gaza war, and in light of events in Europe in recent months, it should be clear that something deep and toxic is going on. Understanding what that is, it seems to me, will help us understand something important not only about journalism but about the Western mind and the way it sees the world.
What presents itself as political criticism, as analysis, or as journalism, is coming to sound more and more like a new version of a much older complaint – that Jews are troublemakers, a negative force in world events, and that if these people, as a collective, could somehow be made to vanish, we would all be better off. This is, or should be, a cause for alarm, and not only among people sympathetic to Israel or concerned with Jewish affairs. What is in play right now has less to do with the world of politics than with the worlds of psychology and religion, and less to do with Israel than with those condemning Israel.
The occupation of the West Bank, with which I opened, would seem to be at the heart of the story, the root cause, as it were, of the conflict portrayed as the most important on earth. A few words, then, about this occupation.
The occupation was created in the 1967 Mideast war. The occupation is not the conflict, which of course predates the occupation. It is a symptom of the conflict, a conflict that would remain even if the symptom were somehow solved. If we look at the West Bank, the only Palestinian area currently occupied by Israel, and if we include Jerusalem, we see that the conflict in these areas claimed 60 lives last year – Palestinian and Israeli.
An end to this occupation would free Palestinians from Israeli rule, and free Israelis from ruling people who do not wish to be ruled. Observers of the Middle East in 2015 understand, too, that an end to the occupation will create a power vacuum that will be filled, as all power vacuums in the region have been, not by the forces of democracy and modernity, which in our region range from weak to negligible, but by the powerful and ruthless, by the extremists. This is what we've learned from the unraveling of the Middle East in recent years. This is what happened in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Egypt, and before that in Gaza and southern Lebanon. My home in Jerusalem is within an easy day's drive of both Aleppo and Baghdad. Creating a new playground for these forces will bring the black-masked soldiers of radical Islam within yards of Israeli homes with mortars, rockets, and tunneling implements. Many thousands will die.
Beyond the obvious threat to Palestinian Christians, women, gays, and liberals, who will be the first to suffer, this threatens to render much or all of Israel unlivable, ending the only safe progressive space in the Middle East, the only secure minority refuge in the Middle East, and the only Jewish country on earth. No international investment or guarantees, no Western-backed government or Western-trained military will be able to keep that from happening, as we have just seen in Iraq. The world will greet this outcome with sincere expressions of sympathy. Only several years ago I, like many on the left, might have dismissed this as an apocalyptic scenario. It isn't. It is the most likely scenario.
People observing this conflict from afar have been led to believe that Israel faces a simple choice between occupation and peace. That choice is fiction. The Palestinian choice, it is said, is between Israeli occupation and an independent democracy. That choice, too, is fiction. Neither side faces a clear choice, or clear outcomes. Here we have a conflict in a region of conflict, with no clear villain, no clear victim, and no clear solution, one of many hundreds or thousands of ethnic, national, and religious disputes on earth.
The only group of people subject to a systematic boycott at present in the Western world is Jews, appearing now under the convenient euphemism "Israelis." The only country that has its own "apartheid week" on campuses is the Jewish country. Protesters have interfered with the unloading of Israeli shipping on the West Coast of the United States, and there are regular calls for a boycott of anything produced in the Jewish state. No similar tactics are currently employed against any other ethnic group or nationality, no matter how egregious the human rights violations attributed to that group's country of origin.
Anyone who questions why this is so will be greeted with shouts of "the occupation!", as if this were explanation enough. It is not. Many who would like to question these phenomena don't dare, for fear that they will somehow be expressing support for this occupation, which has been inflated from a geopolitical dilemma of modest scope by global standards into the world's premier violation of human rights.
The human costs of the Middle Eastern adventures of America and Britain in this century have been far higher, and far harder to explain, than anything Israel has ever done. They have involved occupations, and the violence they unleashed continues as I speak here this evening. No one boycotts American or British professors. Turkey is a democracy, and a NATO member, and yet its occupation of northern Cyprus and long conflict with the stateless Kurds – many of whom see themselves as occupied – are viewed with a yawn; there is no "Turkish Apartheid Week." The world is full of injustice. Billions of people are oppressed. In Congo, 5 million people are dead. The time has come for everyone to admit that the fashionable disgust for Israel among many in the West is not liberal but is selective, disproportionate, and discriminatory.
There are simply too many voices coming from too many places, expressing themselves in too poisonous a way, for us to conclude that this is a narrow criticism of the occupation. It's time for the people making these charges to look closely at themselves, and for us to look closely at them.
Naming and understanding this sentiment is important, as it is becoming one of the key intellectual trends of our time. We might think of it as the "Cult of the Occupation." This belief system, for that it what it is, uses the occupation as a way of talking about other things.
As usual with Western religions, the center of this one is in the Holy Land. The dogma posits that the occupation is not a conflict like any other, but that it is the very symbol of conflict: that the minute state inhabited by a persecuted minority in the Middle East is in fact a symbol of the ills of the West – colonialism, nationalism, militarism, and racism. In the recent riots in Ferguson, Missouri, for example, a sign hoisted by marchers linked the unrest between African Americans and the police to Israeli rule over Palestinians.
The cult's priesthood can be found among the activists, NGO experts, and ideological journalists who have turned coverage of this conflict into a catalogue of Jewish moral failings, as if Israeli society were different from any other group of people on earth, as if Jews deserve to be mocked for having suffered and failed to be perfect as a result.
Most of my former colleagues in the press corps aren't full-fledged members of this group. They aren't true believers. But boycotts of Israel, and only of Israel, which are one of the cult's most important practices, have significant support in the press, including among editors who were my superiors. Sympathy for Israel's predicament is highly unpopular in the relevant social circles, and is something to be avoided by anyone wishing to be invited to the right dinner parties, or to be promoted. The cult and its belief system are in control of the narrative, just as the popular kids in a school and those who decide what clothes or music are acceptable. In the social milieu of the reporters, NGO workers, and activists, which is the same social world, these are the correct opinions. This guides the coverage. This explains why the events in Gaza this summer were portrayed not as a complicated war like many others fought in this century, but as a massacre of innocents. And it explains much else.
So prevalent has this kind of thinking become that participating in liberal intellectual life in the West increasingly requires you to subscribe at least outwardly to this dogma, particularly if you're a Jew and thus suspected of the wrong sympathies. If you're a Jew from Israel, your participation is increasingly conditional on an abject and public display of self-flagellation. Your participation, indeed, is increasingly unwelcome.
What, exactly, is going on?
Observers of Western history understand that at times of confusion and unhappiness, and of great ideological ferment, negative sentiment tends to coagulate around Jews. Discussions of the great topics of the time often end up as discussions about Jews.
In the late 1800s, for example, French society was riven by the clash between the old France of the church and army, and the new France of liberalism and the rule of law. The French were preoccupied with the question of who is French, and who is not. They were smarting from their military humiliation by the Prussians. All of this sentiment erupted around the figure of a Jew, Alfred Dreyfus, accused of betraying France as a spy for Germany. His accusers knew he was innocent, but that didn't matter; he was a symbol of everything they wanted to condemn.
To give another example: Germans in the 1920s and '30s were preoccupied with their humiliation in the Great War. This became a discussion of Jewish traitors who had stabbed Germany in the back. Germans were preoccupied as well with the woes of their economy – this became a discussion of Jewish wealth, and Jewish bankers.
In the years of the rise of Communism and the Cold War, communists concerned with their ideological opponents talked about Jewish capitalists and cosmopolitans, or Jewish doctors plotting against the state. At the very same time, in capitalist societies threatened by communism, people condemned Jewish Bolsheviks.
This is the face of this recurring obsession. As the journalist Charles Maurras wrote, approvingly, in 1911: "Everything seems impossible, or frighteningly difficult, without the providential arrival of anti-Semitism, through which all things fall into place and are simplified."
The West today is preoccupied with a feeling of guilt about the use of power. That's why the Jews, in their state, are now held up in the press and elsewhere as the prime example of the abuse of power. That's why for so many the global villain, as portrayed in newspapers and on TV, is none other than the Jewish soldier, or the Jewish settler.This is not because the Jewish settler or soldier is responsible for more harm than anyone else on earth – no sane person would make that claim. It is rather because these are the heirs to the Jewish banker or Jewish commissar of the past. It is because when moral failure raises its head in the Western imagination, the head tends to wear a skullcap.
One would expect the growing scale and complexity of the conflict in the Middle East over the past decade to have eclipsed the fixation on Israel in the eyes of the press and other observers. Israel is, after all, a sideshow: The death toll in Syria in less than four years far exceeds the toll in the Israel-Arab conflict in a century. The annual death toll in the West Bank and Jerusalem is a morning in Iraq.
And yet it is precisely in these years that the obsession has grown worse.
This makes little sense, unless we understand that people aren't fixated on Israel despite everything else going on – but rather because of everything else going on. As Maurras wrote, when you use the Jew as the symbol of what is wrong, "all things fall into place and are simplified."
The last few decades have brought the West into conflict with the Islamic world. Terrorists have attacked New York, Washington, London, Madrid, and now Paris. America and Britain caused the unraveling of Iraq, and hundreds of thousands of people are dead there. Afghanistan was occupied and thousands of Western soldiers killed, along with countless civilians – but the Taliban are alive and well, undeterred. Ghaddafi was removed, and Libya is no better off. All of this is confusing and discouraging. It causes people to search for answers and explanations, and these are hard to come by. It is in this context that the Cult of the Occupation has caught on. The idea is that the problems in the Middle East have something to do with Jewish arrogance and perfidy, that the sins of one's own country can be projected upon the Western world's old blank screen. This is the idea increasingly reflected on campuses, in labor unions, and in the media fixation on Israel. It's a projection, one whose chief instrument is the press.
As one BBC reporter informed a Jewish interviewee on camera several weeks ago, after a Muslim terrorist murdered four Jewish shoppers at a Paris supermarket, "Many critics of Israel's policy would suggest that the Palestinians suffered hugely at Jewish hands as well." Everything, that is, can be linked to the occupation, and Jews can be blamed even for the attacks against them. This isn't the voice of the perpetrators, but of the enablers. The voice of the enablers is less honest than that of the perpetrators, and more dangerous for being disguised in respectable English. This voice is confident and growing in volume. This is why the year 2015 finds many Jews in Western Europe eyeing their suitcases again.
The Jews of the Middle East are outnumbered by the Arabs of the Middle East 60 to 1, and by the world's Muslims 200 to 1. Half of the Jews in Israel are there because their families were forced from their homes in the 20th century not by Christians in Europe, but by Muslims in the Middle East. Israel currently has Hezbollah on its northern border, al-Qaeda on its northeastern and southern borders, and Hamas in Gaza. None of these groups seek an end to the occupation, but rather openly wish to destroy Israel. But it is naïve to point out these facts. The facts don't matter: We are in the world of symbols. In this world, Israel has become a symbol of what is wrong – not Hamas, not Hezbollah, not Great Britain, not America, not Russia.
I believe it's important to recognize the pathologies at play in order to make sense of things. In this context it's worth pointing out that I'm hardly the first to identify a problem – Jewish communities like this one, and particularly organizations like Bicom, identified a problem long ago, and have been expending immense efforts to correct it. I wish this wasn't necessary, and it shouldn't be necessary, but it undoubtedly is necessary, and becoming more so, and I have great respect for these efforts. Many people, particularly young people, are having trouble maintaining their balance amid this ideological onslaught, which is successfully disguised as journalism or analysis, and is phrased in the language of progressive politics. I would like to help them keep their bearings.
I don't believe, however, that anyone should make a feeling of persecution the center of their identity, of their Judaism, or of their relationship with Israel. The obsession is a fact, but it isn't a new fact, and it shouldn't immobilize us in anger, or force us into a defensive crouch. It shouldn't make us less willing to seek to improve our situation, to behave with compassion to our neighbors, or to continue building the model society that Israel's founders had in mind.
I was in Tel Aviv not long ago, on Rothschild Boulevard. The city was humming with life. Signs of prosperity were everywhere, in the renovated Bauhaus buildings, in the clothes, the stores. I watched the people go by: Kids with old bikes and tattoos, businesspeople, men with women, women with women, men with men, all speaking the language of the Bible and Jewish prayer. The summer's Hamas rockets were already a memory, just a few months old but subsumed in the frantic, irrepressible life of the country. There were cranes everywhere, raising new buildings. There were schoolchildren with oversize knapsacks, and parents with strollers. I heard Arabic, Russian, and French, and the country went about its business with a potent cheer and determination that you miss if all you see are threats and hatred. There have always been threats and hatred, and it has never stopped us. We have enemies, and we have friends. The dogs bark, as the saying goes, and the convoy rolls by.
One of the questions presented to us by the wars of the modern age is what now constitutes victory. In the 21st century, when a battlefield is no longer conquered or lost, when land isn't changing hands and no one ever surrenders, what does it mean to win?
The answer is that victory is no longer determined on the battlefield. It's determined in the center, in the society itself. Who has built a better society? Who has provided better lives for people? Where is there the most optimism? Where can the most happy people be found? One report on world happiness ranked Israel as the 11th happiest country on earth. The UK was 22nd.
Israel's intellectual opponents can rant about the moral failings of the Jews, obscuring their obsession in whatever sophisticated way they choose. The gunmen of Hamas and their allies can stand on heaps of rubble and declare victory. They can fire rockets, and shoot up supermarkets. But if you look at Tel Aviv, or at any thriving neighborhood in Jerusalem, Netanya, Rishon Letzion, or Haifa, you understand that this is victory. This is where we've won, and where we win every day.

The study, published in the journal Nutrition Research, found that consumption of two ounces of walnuts a day for about two weeks significantly changed gene expression in confirmed breast cancers.
Consumption of walnuts may help suppress growth and survival of breast cancer, a study claims.
"Consumption of walnuts has slowed breast cancer growth and reduced the risk of mammary cancer in mice," said W Elaine Hardman, from Marshall University in the US.
"Building on this research, our team hypothesised that walnut consumption would alter gene expression in pathologically-confirmed breast cancers of women in a direction that would decrease breast cancer growth and survival," Hardman said in a statement.
In this first clinical trial, women with breast lumps large enough for research and pathology biopsies were recruited and randomised to walnut consuming or control groups.
Immediately following biopsy collection, women in the walnut group began to consume two ounces of walnuts per day until follow-up surgery.
Pathological studies confirmed that lumps were breast cancer in all women who remained in the trial.
At surgery, about two weeks after biopsy, additional specimens were taken from the breast cancers.
Changes in gene expression in the surgical specimen compared to baseline were determined in each individual woman in walnut-consuming and control groups.
RNA sequencing expression profiling revealed that expression of 456 identified genes was significantly changed in the tumour due to walnut consumption.
The study showed activation of pathways that promote apoptosis or programmed cell death and cell adhesion and inhibition of pathways that promote cell proliferation and migration.
"Additional research through a larger-scale study would be needed to clinically confirm that walnut consumption actually does reduce the risk of breast cancer or breast cancer recurrence," said Hardman.

We built an industrial design that communicated product function while allowing for future adaptations as a payload device. Ultimately, we created a full-featured commercial autonomous robot. These robots are designed for moving material in challenging environments such as confined passageways, as well as dynamic and populated locations. This makes them ideal for daily operations. They are quick to deploy, naturally avoid obstacles, and work safely alongside humans.

Vincent Kompany can perhaps count himself fortunate to still be on the pitch after he flew into a tackle against Mohamed Salah during the Premier League title clash between Manchester City and Liverpool.
The Belgium internional leapt into a challenge on the Egyptian midway through the first-half, with both feet coming off the floor.
Former England international Chris Waddle thought that Kompany was 'lucky' still to be on the pitch.
Graeme Souness agreed, telling Sky Sports: 'On another day that's a red card.
Shortly after, Sergio Aguero fired Manchester City into the lead, but they can perhaps consider themselves fortunate to still have 11 men on the pitch.
Many on social media were convinced he should have gone.


Skye was a January 2003 AI baby and was the first one that her dam "Cee" presented us with! She is very promising being extremely wide and powerful, smoothly blended and deep all the way through her rear barrel. She really reminds us of her dam at the same age. Skye was junior Champion at 3 months of age and also appraised Ec Ec V overall Ec on young stock LA. She was 12th place senior kid at 2003 Nationals out of 40+ kids. Skye kidded 2/17/04 with twin does and a beautiful mammary. One sold, one retained.
Skye was sold this fall after battling an intense summer of persistant heat stress. We just felt that she would not be able to tolerate many more summers of our intense heat and humidity down here. We had retained her beautiful (and more heat tolerant) "Ec" daughter out of Conagher, Crystal, only to lose her in the fall of 2004. Skye was bred to One Oak Hill Cycas Homeboy and sold to Ashley Shaw in North Georgia.
Skye's pictured here as a yearling milker one month fresh.

Dareen and Ahmad were excited and proud to show off their new home in the Orangedale neighborhood on a beautiful spring day in May. The family of six, originally from Syria, has been living in Charlottesville for approximately three years. They recently purchased their home with down payment assistance that helps make monthly mortgage payments more affordable for low and moderate-income homebuyers. Piedmont Housing Alliance manages and administers these special loan funds for first-time homebuyers, funded from sources such as the City of Charlottesville, local counties of Albemarle and Louisa, state HOME funds, and federal CDFI funds.
Ahmad, a tailor working with the Virginia Industry for the Blind, says, "I wanted a new and better life for my family. I know how this can be the start of good things in life, and now we have room for all of us." This family of six had been living in a three-bedroom, one-bath apartment and now have moved into a much more spacious, three-bedroom duplex with two- and a half baths and an outdoor deck and greenspace for planting a garden. Their youngest daughter, Hajer who lives with a disability, has regular medical appointments at UVa hospital. The family is pleased to have found a home in the city, close to transportation for their daughter's many appointments.
In addition to being able to live more comfortably together in their new home, they are also able to save close to $400/month because their monthly mortgage payment is actually less than their rent was. This is allowing the family to get ahead financially.
Ahmad is very thankful to his friend who referred him to Piedmont Housing Alliance and to the housing counselor who helped them all make their dreams come true!
Congratulations to Ahmad, Dareen, Reham, Laila, Hajer and Saeed!

Learning to be a Superhero – "Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero" Graphic Novel Review
September 7, 2021 Jessica Rae
Images provided by DC Entertainment
Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero is the latest graphic novel in DC Comics' YA graphic novel line. As the title states, it features a new hero in Gotham, 16-year-old Willow Zimmerman. She spends her time advocating for her community and caring for stray dog Lebowitz, but little does she know how drastically her, and her dog's, lives are about to change!
I received an advanced review copy of Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero caught my interest because, unlike the other graphic novels I have read in the DC Comics young adult line, this is a story featuring a completely new character who lives in a familiar city. Sure, there are definitely some characters people will recognize, such as the Riddler and Poison Ivy, but this is not their tale. This is Willow's.
Since this is an original character, you need no prior knowledge to pick up and read the book. Yes, it features some familiar names and places, but a completely new to DC Comics reader would not be at all lost in reading it. But at the same time it is fun for people familiar with DC Comics and Gotham City to see another part of it, a story outside of Batman and his family of vigilantes.
WARNING: There will be some brief spoilers below.
Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero begins in Down River, Gotham City, where Willow is outside of her school advocating for city hall to fund their schools. While she is standing outside of the school holding up her sign, new student Garfield asks her about the petition. He immediately catches Willow's eye. In fact, an adorable heart appears above her head when she sees Garfield and the same happens with Garfield as they begin talking. Those kinds of things are so much fun to see added in comic panels.
As the story progresses, we learn more about Willow's life. In addition to becoming fast friends (with an obvious crush on both sides) with Garfield, she also works at dog shelter in the evening, cleaning out cages to help provide extra money to help support her and her mother. Her mother has cancer, and the chemo treatments are very hard on her and affect her teaching job. Willow also befriended a rather large dog that she has named Lebowitz. She'd love to take the dog home with her, but her apartment does not allow pets.
Things start to get interesting for Willow when her mom's old friend from college, E. Nigma, comes back into Willow's life. She tells him about what her mother is going through and he offers her a job. Little does she know that in accepting his job offer, her life is about to change in a drastic way. After working for Nigma for a time, she and Lebowitz are attacked by Killer Croc, which results in Willow developing some interesting powers. Now that she has them, can she use them to fight those who wish harm on the people of Down River? And how will she handle being a hero while working with one of Gotham's biggest villains?
Writer E. Lockhart is a New York Times bestselling author best known for her novels Genuine Fraud and We Were Liars. Lockhart does an amazing job creating a hero who is just like any other teenager. Willow, who is a secular Jewish person, looks at the problems in her city and does everything she can to make things better. She also works late into the evening to support her sick mother. Despite all this, the writer does not forget that Willow is a teenager. She's still dealing with school, growing up, and having crushes.
Lockhart also does not shy away from tackling some of the grayer areas and complicated issues. Because of Willow's unique circumstances, she has to take a real hard look at the way she is making money and if she can justify it. Willow must decide if what she is doing is okay and whether or not it goes against everything she stands for. Things for Willow are definitely not black and white, and she has to make some very tough decisions. I think Lockhart handles these topics in a very realistic way.
Artist Manuel Preitano is an Italian illustrator and graphic designer best known for his work on DC Comics YA graphic novel The Oracle Code. With this story, Preitano was creating designs for all new characters in Willow, Lebowitz, and her friends and family. Each of his characters are unique and expressive. Each panel is beautiful while still looking very much a part of Gotham City. The colors done by Gabby Metzler only accentuate each panel, making Down River feel real. The lettering done by Troy Peteri is crisp and clean. Overall, it's just a very beautiful book.
Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero is intended for teens ages 14-17. It is a story of being a teen in today's world. In a city that may have some supernatural and over-the-top villains but contain many of the same problems that we see in the real world. It questions a lot of gray areas when situations become desperate. It's a story that truly makes you think. There are not really any warnings for this book other than considering some of the ethics of the decisions that Willow must make.
Overall, I really enjoyed Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero. I was excited to read about a new superhero in one of my favorite fictional series. I could easily see Willow being a permanent part of the Gotham City hero roster and I'm hoping to see her story explored more either in subsequent YA graphic novels, or even in the monthly periodicals, perhaps even fighting alongside Batman someday.
I recommend Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero to anyone who would enjoy reading more about Gotham outside of Batman and his family and to anyone who would enjoy reading about a completely new superhero. Willow feels like a real person, not someone who is larger than life, so that aspect makes her someone that all of us can relate to. This is a story that so many of us could imagine ourselves in, without the supernatural elements of course!
Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero is available today from DC, comic book shops, local and online indie bookstores, and your local library and their digital apps.

Like a diamond.
Claudio Leo is one of the most important name of gothic/rock scene in Milan and in Italy in general..on 17th January of this year…he has departed this life; an incurable disease took him away from this life…and this is one of the most terrible thing heard in this beginning of 2013; his carrier begun with Cristina Scabbia & Lacuna Coil…and I cannot forget the ep made in 1999….
Cayne made his debut in 2002 with a very good album…but nothing more followed after that album…The band came back in 2012 with the single "Addicted" made up of four songs…and listening to that ep…we couldn't but craving for the whole album…
And indeed...Claudio has left a very awesome album that will be forever…and I hope he won't be never forgotten…
The album is here and is a masterpiece that is very difficult to define; the band has picked up a lot of influences and the outcome is nothing but a very great masterpiece of good music….
In these songs I can see the best of 80's hard rock/ metal…modern metal and gothic rock…hence…we can only buy it!
Let's start and exanimate the songs …
"Waiting" is pure gothic rock characterized by a very wonderful melody that is the result of their influences…Giordano shows his incredible skill ; awesome timbre…great ability to give emphasis…
"Don't Tell Me" is another pearl…How could we stop listening to these songs!? I'm still asking how to do…
I want to underline the awesome lyrics written down by the band….and the particular attention given to the arrangements that makes this album attractive for modern metal fans ,pure rocker and gothic souls.
The single "Together As One" is another hit…another awesome and unforgettable melody that mixes the best of cold Finnish tradition with Italian mood….the guitars supports the awesome melody…and Giordano confirms his skill….
It's the time for a crying song that tell us about a very dark lady…one of those who really loves the dark…and deepness of feeling that only a dark girl can have…This is pure melancholic goth rock…and the melody of this song is one of those that can't be forgetten…the lyrics of the song seems to flow the film of the song into your eyes….
"Deliverance" is an incredible mix between 80's street metal and modern sound….the refrain can't but remind us of what metal was….but Cayne has modernized it…
"Addicted" is pure modern metal mixed to 80's….is it possible? Yes it is…some riffs remind of 80's rock…even if he song is absolutely modern ; Giordano shows his ability to adapt his voice to different atmospheres in a very easy way.
"King of Nothing" feat Jeff Water (Annihlator)….yes…a very great guest in this awesome rock/metal song in which the band show that they never miss a shot….pure modern metal …melody and passion!
"My Damnation" is a pure masterpiece of gothic/rock metal….It's incredible the feeling spread through this song….The melody is one of the best heard in absolute…and the song gets also very some modern metal riffs that makes it another unforgettable jewel…
"Deep Down And Under" is another sad song characterized by great guitar arpeggio, and the awesome arrangement whom intent is to release a certain kind of emotion….I can say that the goal has been achieved.
Andrea Ferro (Lacuna Coil) his friend for ages took part to this song that seems the most "Lacuna Coil oriented"…another awesome little masterpiece!
Paul Quinn (Saxon) is another great guest and he sings some parts in"Black Liberation" seems a pure 80's metal song made by Cayne….their unmistakable style is mixed to classic old metal….I underline a very awesome guitar solo mixed to a very atmospheric part of the song that seems to connect to old HIM atmospheres….
"Evidence" is another modern metal , in my opinion "the less" beautiful song of this awesome cd….
The album is closed with the infinitely beautiful "Like the stars"...a very nocturnal song in which Giordano shows the romantic side of his voice…while the two guitars are drawing a magical path in the ocean….It's impossible not to let fall a tear….thanks Claudio….and thanks to Cayne…like a diamond…this album is forever!
