From the page: "Peace, Propaganda & The Promised Land
The Israeli PR machine

==========================
My Note:
This is a VERY well done video showing the SPIN of the US Neo-con machine, as well as FOX news and others.
unfortunately, its not JUST FOX, but most media outlets , even ones like MSNBC, that i thought were somewhat neutral, seem to be very BIASED on this issue.
unbelievable.

This is a GREAT video, and well worth the time to watch !!!

=======================

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. ?"

From the page: "LEBANON: Qana massacre: A product of Israels war strategy

Doug Lorimer

Three days after Israels Justice minister, Haim Ramon, told Israeli Army Radio on July 27 that %u201Ceveryone in southern Lebanon is a terrorist, an Israeli warplane fired a missiles into a three-storey residential building in the southern Lebanese village of Qana, killing at least 20 adults and 34 children.

The next day, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert claimed that the Qana massacre was a tragic mistake%u201D. However, the massacre was fully in line with Israel%u2019s war strategy as outlined by Ramon on July 27:
In order to prevent casualties among Israeli soldiers battling Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon, villages should be flattened by the Israeli air force before ground troops move in.%u201D

The night-time air strike on Qana %u2014 one of 159 carried out that day across Lebanon was the bloodiest single attack by Israel since it began its round-the-clock aerial bombardment on July 13.

The Qana massacre, which evoked memories of a similar Israeli massacre in the village in 1996, brought immediate condemnation from across the Arab world.

Associated Press reported on July 30: April 1996 more than 100 Lebanese civilians were killed in Qana in the hills east of the port city of Tyre, in an Israeli artillery shelling of a UN base. The civilians had sought refuge with the UN to escape Israeli bombardment and the attack sparked an international outcry that helped end an Israeli offensive."
==============

just as a side note , to me, it seems that the media is now painting a different picture of this war, than of past conflicts between Isael and Lebanon, or other muslim states that have had conflicts with Israel.
Networks like FOX TV and others seem to make out that Isael is never the aggessor, and is always right.
the new generation of people in the US dont know the diference, and the US government depends on this for their spin.

some of my humor photos here...

Mohamed Atta...
BOTH of them.
Someone in our group created this, this has more information than cooperative research, and also more than the FBI or any other public source.
Atta is seen here at 2 places on the same day in 2 different renta-cars.
Clearly he couldnt be in 2 places at one time, so either the witnesses that the FBI relied on (whaich is what made us think it WAS ATTA in the first place , are lying, or the FBI is
