2. I see the home page several times a day, so if something had appeared there I would have

seen it.
as far as there hasn't been a big post re th topic, you must not be paying attention.

5. I always open to the home page. Several times a day. there are several

sections. I don't know which is which. I realized today, when I saw the headline about the missing Israeli soldier, that that was the 1st time I'd seen something about Israel Palestine on the home page.

3. If this is true

6. well, nobody has to take my word for it. Just open up to the home page several times

a day and tell me if I'm wrong.
