#2 A bit of "info" about her:

" For the last eight months Ewa Jasiewicz has been living in Baghdad and Basra, supporting human rights groups, womens organisations, families, workers, trade unionists and Palestinian refugees. She also lived for 6 months with ~~terrorists~~ communities of resistance in Jenin and Nablus in Occupied Palestine, volunteering with Paramedics at the Red Crescent Society, monitoring checkpoints, delivering food and medicine, accompanying council workers, teachers and children during curfew [during curfews you don't accompany people, because they are supposed to stay indoors], and organising demonstrations [oh yes, that's what journalists do in foreign countries?]. She has written for Red Pepper, Electronic Iraq, Z-Net, Counterpunch, Infoshop, Occupation Watch and The Socialist Review in the US.

Sorry, she is not "naive", but she's not a "journalist" either. Just because you write about what you do doesn't make you a journalist.

#5 I gritted my teeth and had a two-minute look at the Red Pepper website wherein our heroine has vented her feelings. Concerning her detention, she said that she was being treated "not bad, but 50 million times better than Palestinian prisoners."

Anyone who knows anything about the subject knows that Palestinian prisoners are treated with kid gloves in Israeli jails. As an example, they are given top-quality meals. (Their hunger strike has nothing to do with the food).

TGA is right. The woman is no journalist. And two minutes was enough time to find out that Red Pepper is the kind of magazine that doesn't let the facts interfere with propaganda.
