Has Therapy Today entered politics? This blatantly bias article is nothing more than five pages of pro-Palestinian propaganda with the occasional psychological sentence thrown in. The article contains no information of any therapeutic value, but overflows with anti-Israeli politics. Many of the ‘facts’ are simply nonsense.

What are the psychological results of growing up around extremist terror groups which glorify suicide bombing? How does living under a barrage of Palestinian rockets affect the people of Israel? The authors did not ask and did not want to know. This article was not impartial, scientific, informative or based on evidence - the very opposite of what is required in a quality medical journal.
 
If Kemp and Pinto want to campaign on the Palestinian issue, I wish them the best of luck, but this propaganda (politics dressed up as psychological research) reduces Therapy Today to nothing more than a campaign rag.

If this is what the editors consider quality journalism, then I want no part of it.
