Al Jazeera, Democracy Now! and Truthout report that Israeli forces raided the offices of several Palestinian NGOs in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday. Palestinian officials say a child was hurt by Israeli gunfire and others suffered tear gas inhalation, and at least one journalist was reportedly detained. Al Jazeera reports snipers were deployed at the Palestine Medical Complex, citing the Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Human rights lawyer Sahar Francis calls the raids part of a propaganda show before the Israeli election.

The coverage spectrum counts the outlets covering a story at each of five points. A short or missing segment means that part of the spectrum is mostly quiet.

Governor Loaded verb“slams”It adds drama to what was said. The governor criticized the lawmakers; “slams” makes it sound like a fight.More neutral: criticizes lawmakers over budget delay

Highlights mark words that carry a judgement. Tap one to see why, and what a neutral writer would say. Here it is “criticizes”.
