I agree it's difficult to find good objective literature on this matter. 
I'll ask around at university next week.

I think so. Over here we also have special editions: CNBC Europe etc. 
You can already see the differences on the website: go to CNN e.g. and 
you'll see you can choose between US and other regions if I'm not mistaken.

I haven't watched CNN lately, but our media (and the atmosphere in 
general) is getting tougher and tougher towards Israeli's.
It was Belgium (and more specifically our minister of foreign affairs) 
who started all of this officially: Arafat was invited to Belgium 
exactly one week before Israeli officials were expected. Also, Arafat 
was invited in the Senate while Israeli officials weren't.
I'm not sure whether this was the right action, but it definitely was 
the first time that the position of our government was so outspoken. 
(hope this is correct english)
