Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land Trailers

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.

1. Why do Jews deserve a land of their own? They stole the land from the Palestinians. If the basis for ownership of land is based on last occupation, I can only assume that bills316 is a Native American. Otherwise, unless s/he is a major hypocrite, s/he would hand back the land to the Native Americans, who owned Canada far more recently than the Jews owned Palestine prior to 1948. 2. Why is a Jew who criticizes Israel "self-hating"? Is a Canadian who criticizes Canada self-hating? Of course not. It is a democratic tradition and right to criticize your own country and people when they misbehave, as Israel has massively done. 3. This is not about appeasement. It is about brutality and the vicious cruelty of Israel - rightful heirs to the Nazis - towards their native population. The fact that it is so rare to see the truth in the Western media does not make it a lie. Bills316 and others should welcome the fact that the truth is finally allowed to appear. 4. See the movie. 5. Bills 316, it's "following its left-wing agenda", not following "it's left-wing agenda" from the grammatical point of view and "telling the truth" from all other points of view. 6. And, yes, I know (yawn) you are going to say that this is anti-Semitic. However, being anti-Zionist is not anti-Semitic any more than it is Jew-hating.

I don't know how anybody can find this movie biased. It's an incredible journey through the facts that the US mainstream media hides, the lies, and the twisted truths they broadcast to affect the American public's opinion. Anybody in his right mind can spot this vast difference when they compare reports from CNN to that of BBC's (on the same story). Everything said in the movie is backed up by solid evidence and proof that won't leave you doubting. What I really liked about Peace, Propaganda, and The Promised Land is that it was Jews (even Rabbis), and Israelis who were 'telling the story', so to speak. In the end, the movie doesn't force anything down your throat, it just shows you what's really keeping the peace process from happening.

This is a must seen documentary about the Israeli Palestinian conflict.The movie tries to criticize the way the conflict is presented in the us media in a biased way in my opinion.Few points which are covered through the film are: 1. the claim of Israel generosity in the peace processes. 2. calling the Israeli actions as retaliation and other uses of words in the media. 3. covering the events without context 4. unbiased covering of the events.Sometimes I hear people who are saying that the us media is pro-Palestinian, I hope that this film can raise thoughts and doubts on such claims. You are all invited to plant olive trees in occupied Palestinian lands...

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.
