Excellent commentary from talking heads (see above) alternates with clips from TV news. 3 of the 7 Israeli "PR strategies" by which U.S. networks distort the news are explored. These are (1) Suppress the fact that Israel is illegally "colonizing" Palestine with thousands of Israeli citizens; (2) Never suggest that violent acts by (some) Palestinians may have CAUSES; (3) Show the full humanity of each Israeli killed in Palestine; treat the larger number of Palestinian casualties as mere data.
Video documentary courtesy of the Media Education Foundation (www.PPPL.org). Produced for WWUH-FM, Public Alternative Radio at the University of Hartford. Feedback to kdowst at hotmail dot com.
This radio adaptation is in three parts. Parts 1 (NWN #50; A-Infos Program # 31410) and 2 are now available here as mp3s. I expect to upload Part 3 around March 14. Producers wishing to broadcast the series over a shorter span may contact me to arrange early delivery of Part 3.
The original video may be viewed or downloaded without charge, in mp4 format, at www.PPPL.org (not case-sensitive).
The video was released in 2003. Alas, it's just as true & relevant six years later--apart from a few details--Yassir Arafat, Camp David agreement, etc. The name of Israel's PM hardly matters, as (IMHO) the government's policy towards Palestine hasn't changed for several decades.
