In 1967, following a war between Israel and the countries of Syria, Jordan, and Egypt, Israel militarily occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. That year, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 242 calling on Israel to withdraw from the Occupied Territories. Israel has yet to comply. Today, 3 million Palestinians live under illegal military occupation. Today, the lives of both Israelis and Palestinians are plagued by daily violence and insecurity. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict dominates American news coverage of international issues. Given that news coverage is America's main source of information on the conflict, it becomes important to examine the stories the news media are telling us and to ask the question,
"Does the news coverage reflect reality on the ground❓"
Today, the lives of both Israelis and Palestinians are plagued by daily violence and insecurity.

——• 👀 Plot: This video shows how the foreign policy interests of American political elites working in combination with Israeli public relations strategies 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.

——• 💬 Quote:
▸ Noam Chomsky: "When Israelis in the occupied territories now claim that they have to defend themselves, they are defending themselves in the sense that any military occupier has to defend itself against the population they are crushing... You can't defend yourself when you're militarily occupying someone else's land. That's not defense. Call it what you like, it's not a defense."
▸ Narrates: "Total US aid to Israel since 1949 has amounted to over 100 billion Dollars, making Israel - a country the size of New Jersey - the fourth most powerful military in the world, in possession of the largest fleet of F-16 fighter planes outside the United States."
▸ Neve Gordon: "Their struggle in many ways is a just struggle. What are they struggling with? They're struggling for a state. We in Israel have a state, the American people have a state, so why shouldn't the Palestinian people have a state❓"
