Another great doc. revealing how the US media is controlled by Israel, and how cruel, inhumane and savage, the Israelis are.

The USA (and now Australia, U.K., EU, Canada etc) are controlled by this MFing aggressive little state named Israel. in this doc, the mainstream prestitutes are revealed for what they are, low life whores for their master - Israel.

Even though the prestitutes may claim that they do not 'lie', this doc. reveals some of their tactics and effectiveness in creating a totally misleading impression of Israel (ie poor little defenseless innocent victim), which could not be further from the truth.

If u believe that Israel is a peaceful state, which does not control the western world media, then you have been stooged. Except of course, for Mr Alex Jones, who knows that the Arabs control the media, and that must be true because Alex Jones said so a few years ago. Anyone who states otherwise is ridiculed by Alex, (well done Alex on you endeavors to reveal the truth, except of course for when it comes to anything that Israel does).

u/l by wakenthedead a few years ago. thought this would be a good time to re-upload.

**************
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.

Through the voices of scholars, media critics, peace activists, religious figures, and Middle East experts, Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land carefully analyzes and explains how -- through the use of language, framing and context -- the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza remains hidden in the news media, and Israeli colonization of the occupied terrorities appears to be a defensive move rather than an offensive one. The documentary also explores the ways that U.S. journalists, for reasons ranging from intimidation to a lack of thorough investigation, have become complicit in carrying out Israel's PR campaign. At its core, the documentary raises questions about the ethics and role of journalism, and the relationship between media and politics.

Interviewees include Seth Ackerman, Mjr. Stav Adivi, Rabbi Arik Ascherman, Hanan Ashrawi, Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk, Neve Gordon, Toufic Haddad, Sam Husseini, Hussein Ibish, Robert Jensen, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Karen Pfeifer, Alisa Solomon, and Gila Svirsky.
