Sut Jhally: " I was a coward" for not taking up Palestine issue

University of Massachusetts Professor Emeritus Sut Jhally explains how he became involved in the Israel Palestine issue.

In the full video, at https://youtu.be/ym7M_FMvdQI Jhally shared select clips and discussed the key findings of his 2016 documentary, "The Occupation of the American Mind," which analyzes pro-Israel public relations efforts within the U.S. Jhally explored whether the news media have been getting better—or worse—since the documentary was produced, and whether election-season news coverage is likely to cover—or cover up—growing challenges to standard pro-Israel narratives and politics.

"The Occupation of the American Mind," features leading observers of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and U.S. media, and explores how the pro-Israel lobby shapes American media coverage of the conflict in Israel's favor. The film provides a sweeping analysis of Israel’s decades-long battle for the hearts, minds, and tax dollars of the American people in the face of widening international condemnation of Israel's human rights violations and military occupation.
