Peace, Propaganda & The Promised Land
Does the news coverage reflect the reality on the
ground?
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 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
