Freedom

Freedom House monitor freedom around the world but unlike many similar organisations they do not have an anti-American, anti-West, anti-Israel agenda to push and so do not feature on the BBC very often. Take a look at their analysis of freedom, it may be at variance with that which the BBC push at you.

The map of the Middle East on the Freedom House website is interesting as it shows two things: firstly the difference between the one "free" country - Israel and the rest of the countries in the area and second how small Israel is, an area of thought that I intend to return to soon.
