►Tell NPR to stop covering for Israel:
On its October 8, 2014 Morning Edition, National Public Radio (NPR) included ONLY the viewpoint that illegal Israeli settlements are “neighborhoods.” 
Action: Tell  <http://help.npr.org/npr/includes/customer/npr/custforms/contactus.aspx?sid=1> Morning Edition that its October 8 segment on Israeli rhetoric about construction in the Occupied Territories should be balanced with a critic of Israel's colonization.
