Peace, Propaganda, and The Promised Land
When Israelis in the occupied territories now claim that they have to defend themselves, they are defending themselves in the sense that any military occupier has to defend itself against the population they are crushing… You can’t defend yourself when you’re militarily occupying someone else’s land. That’s not defense. Call it what you like, it’s not defense. Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites–oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others – work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported.

LONG LIVE PALESTINE!!!
Revealing documentary ! Their (USA) freedom of press and their democracy – what a **** … The Nazi state propaganda was a child play if compared to American mainstream journalism !
Tagging for discussion notification – I have strong views (against Israel) and prefer to keep my powder dry for now.
Question for now: Does anyone actually support Israel that isn’t directly making money from the concept whilst putting the world in utter jeopardy?
Pop fact; The resources spent by the USA on Israel is annually equivalent to $16,000 per every Israeli citizen. USA citizen $16,000 would be nice as a windfall wouldn’t it?
I guess I wasn’t just tagging; The Israeli subject just makes me so damn angry! And why shouldn’t it! Park the lot of em in some Arizona desert and call it zion. ******** superstitious thugs can go to hell for all I care. I utterly resent and hate the whole matter.
I have only ever come in contact with 2-3 real Israelis and have found them to be utterly psychotic a-holes!
But the real blame lies with America for subsidising and promoting the whole gang of crooks!
Democracy my a$$ – when did any of you vote for any of this?
Never before have i seen the Isreali/USA – Palestinian conflict in this light. Basicly this brutal genocide made me sick in the guts, sick with anger and i hope God/Allah avenges the Palestinian suffering.
@jmack
we shoulnt hope god avenges the palestinians but gives them strength to forgive israel. who said it, an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. jesus tells us to forgive.
Freedom and unity among all.How? Stay informed.
DeathSSghosT, It was Ghandi.
Very good film! I had a feeling something was up b/tw the US and Israel because the news broadcasts left me with so many questions…I always wondered why they were fighting over then land and how it was that Israel was always right…I know now. This is why so many people in the world hate the U.S. and it really pisses me off when people get angry for saying that the U.S. is wrong, sometimes we are. And I really believe that we will pay for our crimes, just like every other nation will pay for theirs. Reminds me of a quote from “The Wire” “You’d rather live in s#$% than let the world see you with a shovel.”
And, the media is playing a very big role in us losing our democracy. As Big Brother would say: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
