Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle ... all » 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.

Nov 9, 2008 - I am not fat, I am 120 healthy beautiful pounds. My father is not fat either, he is a very respected personality and for your info the UN doesnt only give rice to poor hungry children. There are multiple branches in the UN and one of them is in charge of helping countries develop their agriculture assets. Thats what my father does. You prove to me once more what a moronic ignorant you are. I PERSONALLY have travelled around the world and I have many degrees and years of education.
yourfuturebosslady Says:
Nov 9, 2008 - I would venture to make the safe guess that you are in your first year of college (if that) and that you were an average to poor performing student in high school. I am not sure what you're majoring in but i'm thinking Hate and Ignorance Studies would be perfect for you. As for Miss South Carolina, I would bet everything I own that her IQ is higher than yours. You are a piece of shit stuck on the soles of my shoes. You reek like hell and I cant wait to wipe you off (my memory).
QueenOfRussia Says:
Nov 9, 2008 - Yea, suuure you'e 120 pounds!! Will you stop bullshitting?? NOBODY believes you! Who the hell do you think cares about what you say, that I'm stupid and in the 1st year of college? I DON'T!! So spread your venom as much as you want, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!!! Yeaaaa, wipe me off your memory!! Then why do you keep writing these comments?? Did I ask for them? You're a disturbed fat ugly girl full of zits...get the hell outta here, you ugly American slut!!!
yourfuturebosslady Says:
Nov 10, 2008 - I laughed so hard reading that! Sure I am a fat, ugly, slut full of zits...if it makes u feel better to imagine that is what I look like, be my guest. I would add that I am cross eyed, I have a deformed left arm and an oversized crooked nose. But at least I have an open heart and a functional brain. Unlike you, and you may be a stunning beauty, but you are a racist, hateful, ignorant with a rotten soul and a peanut sized brain. So your inside would match the exact description you used for me.
yourfuturebosslady Says:
Nov 10, 2008 - I don't want to have to defend my looks but my boyfriend (who is an Armani model, i am not even kidding) and has seen every inch of me thinks I am beautiful so I could care less for the opinion of some retarded child who has never seen me before. And I am not american. I am Moroccan born in the US. Just FYI. Eat shit. =)
yourfuturebosslady Says:
Nov 10, 2008 - So to get back to the point here: I don't agree with you that these people do not deserve our help and attention. They are the victims of a cruel and silent genocide and we should all do something to raise awareness about what is going on. I disagree with you about what you said about muslims. I hope you will grow out of all that racism and hatred. No innocent human being deserves to suffer that way and if you think otherwise, you have a serious psychological problem. And I will stop there.
QueenOfRussia Says:
Nov 10, 2008 - You're so stupid! In that Moroccan head of yours you have only shit! It is NOT genocide, Miss South Carolina from Morocco with an Armani model for boyfriend! You know, Israel has the right to exist! They have to defend themselves in front of those savage monkeys! You come from Morocco, a shitty, poor, muslim country- you know what I mean! Like dirty shepherds, illiterate women,- that's Palestine.And eat MY shit! Pwned, you bitch!!
yourfuturebosslady Says:
Nov 10, 2008 - Are you really 19? Cuz you sound like a 13 yr old kid. I am not going to respond to your insults. It really does not affect me. All i care is that one day hopefully, you will see the situation in a less biased way and make a less cruel and racist judgement. You are obviously some sheltered child with rich parents who sees poverty as inferiority and consider yourself a superior human being. Hitler used to talk about jews the way you talk about muslims and arabs. I hope you grow more tolerant kid.

Nov 10, 2008 - You should be shot dead. What a waste of human existence, you are...

Nov 10, 2008 - "They are the victims of a cruel and silent genocide" Hezbollah is to blame. If the Palestinians wanted peace they should get rid of Hezbollah first.
QueenOfRussia Says:
Nov 11, 2008 - Shut the fuck up, bitch, can't you see I'm NOT responding you? Man, these fat bitches really like talking shit all the time...go to McDonald's and shove up some fries to get yourself prettier...or better said, SUCK MY MCNUGGETS, FREAKIN HOE!!!
yourfuturebosslady Says:
Nov 11, 2008 - Well the question here is: who came first? the egg or the chicken? LOL Technically, some terrorist attacks are an open unprovoked attack in the name of destroying the west and what it stands for. Othe terrorist attacks are retaliation for attacks against the paletinians. Either way, i dont condone terrorism but as the prime minister of israel said himself: "we need to pull out of all occupied territories or else we will never achieve peace".
yourfuturebosslady Says:
Nov 11, 2008 - Oooooouch! We need some soap and bleach for that little filthy mouth of yours! I prefer In and Out burgers though. You should try it. Sooooo yummy!!
GrandGuignologist Says:
Nov 14, 2008 - "we need to pull out of all occupied territories or else we will never achieve peace" Do you think that would really satisfy Islam. Many many times Aljazeera has reported every sect of Muslim in the world calling for Israel to be driven into the sea. There will be no real peace until Jesus Comes down, and destroys Islam. Much will happen before that. Iran is planning the Great war now. Propaganda fed war for their God. Hate is the root, and the heart of Islam.

Nov 20, 2008 - Israel is an apartheid regime; Israel has no right to exist; Israelis accuse people of anti-Semitism every time someone criticizes Israel; Arabs are Semites - unlike most Jews; 80-90% of Jews today are Ashkenazi (and descendants of converts); they use the holocaust to silence critics of their own crime; Israel never met the conditions for its entry into the UN.
QueenOfRussia Says:
Nov 20, 2008 - you're such a dickhead. arabs and jews are all semites, asshole! what's your problem with the ashkenazi? israel is an apartheid regime? shall I suppose you live in an arab country where you can't drive, as a woman, or you're not allowed to go to the university or walk alone on the street? how do you call that if not 'numbing madness'?? I know that doesn't happen in every muslim countries, but still...israel is the most democratic country in the middle east, you prick!

Nov 20, 2008 - 1,050 Palestinian children have been killed by Israelis since September 29, 2000"The majority of these [Palestinian] children were killed and injured while going about normal daily activities, such as going to school, playing, shopping, or simply being in their homes. Sixty-four percent of children killed during the first six months of 2003 died as a result of Israeli air and ground attacks, or from indiscriminate fire from Israeli soldiers."

Nov 21, 2008 - and one more info.. israel the only country that keeps prisoners after they die in prison
Sazzylilsmartazz Says:
Nov 21, 2008 - muhannadpal Um ... are you telling me they keep corpses and for what reason? Am I misunderstanding you?
muhannadpal Says:
Nov 21, 2008 - yes... they keep corpses ... they say prisoner must continue the years they were sentences...
Sazzylilsmartazz Says:
Nov 21, 2008 - I'm gonna get sick now.
muhannadpal Says:
Nov 21, 2008 - don't worry it's normal for the israelis to do such things
QueenOfRussia Says:
Nov 8, 2008 - Just because 'daddy' works for the UN doesn't make YOU an einstein, your fat bitch! Why would I be moronic? Because I think Israel is in West Africa?? YOU have experience because your US fat daddy hands UN rice to African villagers? How many years in college have you spent? Any M.A pr PhD? Didn't think so!! Look at her! 'My father works for the UN and I have experience!' hahaha....YOU ARE hilarious, Miss South Carolina (need I remind you who she is?). Why don't we all stay with our opinions?
