9/30 Update from Hebron

by Alison Weir
This morning children from the South Hebron village of Tuba were able to reach
school safely in Tiwani.
Following is the latest update on the situation in Hebron, from CPT- Hebron --
Unfortunately, the news is mixed:

This morning children from the South Hebron village of Tuba were able to reach
school safely in Tiwani. A police jeep outside the settlement helped to ensure a
peaceful journey. The District Coordinating Officer (DCO) has confirmed the
children's right to use the "settler road" to go to school.

Unfortunately an Israeli army patrol entered Tiwani today warning villagers that
violence (for which they blamed CPT) would occur if children continued to use the
road. The villagers are understandably worried about this development.

It is clear that the army patrol is acting without proper authority, but this is no
comfort to villagers and their CPT accompaniers who must bear the consequences.

I phoned AP again today (after calling them and other news outlets numerous times
yesterday) and we have finally managed to get them to run the story!
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/world/9800709.htm?1c Now we should
attempt to get the San Francisco Chronicle and Oakland Tribune to publish the story
in their print editions.

By the way, the Washington Times, where Kim Lamberty is from, and the Omaha
newspaper and TV station, where her parents live, reported the story YESTERDAY.

What does this tell you about our local Bay Area news outlets?
