Peace, Propaganda,
and the Promised Land
- U.S. Media and the Israeli-Palestinian
Conflict
Bathsheba
Ratzkoff & Sut Jhally
This pivotal
video exposes how the foreign policy interests
of American political elites--working in
combination with Israeli public relations
strategies--exercise a powerful influence
over 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
an historical overview, a striking media
comparison, and an examination of factors
that have distorted U.S. media coverage
and, in turn, American public opinion.
Interviewees
include Seth Ackerman, Mjr. Stav Adivi,
Rabbi Arik Ascherman, Hanan Ashrawi, Noam
Chomsky, Robert Fisk, Dr. Neve Gordon, Toufic
Haddad, Sam Husseini, Hussein Ibish, Robert
Jensen, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Karen Pfeifer,
Alisa Solomon, and Gila Svirsky.
