Filmscreening: Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land:
U.S.
Media and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
by Media Education
Foundation
This documentary film is aimed to
show how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false
perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It carefully analizes foreign
policy interests of American political elites which work in combination with
Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how
news from the region is reported. At its core, the documentary raises
questions about the ethics and role of journalism, and the relationship between
media and politics
