Peace, Propaganda The Promised Land

[Issie]

This video shows how the foreign policy interests of American political elites-working in combination with Israeli public relations stratgies-influence US news reporting about the Middle East conflict. Combining American and British TV news clips with observations of analysts, journalists and political activists, Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a brief historical overview, a striking media comparison, and an examination of factors that have distorted U.S. media coverage and, in turn, American public opinion.

Sadly I cannot run video on the machine I have here but it has become obvious from comments made here that the US news is "filtered" and that a lot of the more outragious incidents do not make it into the American media.

What do you think of Obadiah Shoher's views on the Middle East conflict? One can argue, of course, that Shoher is ultra-right, but his followers are far from being a marginal group. Also, he rejects Jewish moralistic reasoning - that's alone is highly unusual for the Israeli right. And he is very influential here in Israel. So what do you think?

And you get "a lot of the more outragious incidents" in England, and in the US we don't?

I would say that in the US it is filtered thru but NOT filtered, as you suppose
