DVD

Exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites-- working together with Israeli public relations strategies-- exercise a powerful influence over news reporting about the Middle East conflict. Combines American and British TV news clips with observations of analysts, journalists, and political activists. This video provides a historical overview, insight into the nature of the Occupation and examines factors that have distorted North American media coverage and, in turn, public opinion.

Features interviews with Noam Chomsky, Hanan Ashwari, Robert Fish, Rabbi Michael Lerner and Rabbi Arik Ascherman, and others.
