Fun Stuff

Quotes:
Noam Chomsky: 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. more

Like nothing you've ever seen!, 20 November 2004
10/10
Author: pulpncure from San Francisco, CA

This is a documentary about how our country (America) is sheltered by the media when it comes to the atrocities committed against the Palestinian people. It is sort of like Outfoxed (an excellent documentary about the bias of the Fox New Channel), yet completely relating to the U.S. media coverage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It is hard to watch at times but definitely opened my eyes to such things I never knew were happening. Sure I had an idea that our government always took sides when it came to the conflict, but to see how much the "Israeli PR Machine" influences our media is disgusting and, quite frankly, very disturbing. It is not a documentary made by Arabs, it is a U.S. production and features Rabbis, various media personnel, university professors, etc. It is a huge eye-opener and I recommend it to everyone.
