Great movie.
Be careful, you wouldn't want to be labeled an anti-semite.
Perhaps, like the President of Iran, you would like Israel "wiped off the map"?

Former Motto of Mossad (Israel's CIA)
"By Way of Deception, Thou Shalt Do War"

Nice.
And very fitting for a documentary which exposes how heavily the US Media is "manipulated" (read: used to spread LIES) on behalf of "the current occupying regime in Israel" (ie. the zionists; to quote Ahmadinejad's infamous speech).

Chomsky's take is good. something like- media has a message that reflects the current administrations goals....if those goals change, so does the media's message. referring to the US.

and what I thought was interesting, although not really news considering the coverage in msm, Israel has 2 fronts in its war against the Palestinians...the actual military campaign against them and the PR campaign in the United States-which considering groups like AIPAC its no wonder they are definitely winning the pr campaign. how can the Palestinians even compete on that front?

when on one side you have a dispossessed and marginalised people whilst the other side is a sovereign nation with more backup than the polyphonic spree, there can be no competing.

It is a great movie commy.

I fully agree that the media is heavily manipulated. I just wish everyone would think for themselves. It's not that hard. Everyone knows Israel is the number one recipient of American foreign aid, almost all of it in the form of weapons. Those bombs that fall in Gaza are gifts from America. America supports without question, Israel’s every action without any accountability. When Israel attacked Gaza in December 2008, pretty much nearly every nation in the world condemned Israel’s actions as being unjustified.

While people continue to look the other way and stay silent, nothing will ever change. I'm so tired of the same old argument i keep hearing from people, that the US should support Israel and stand by our allies.

These are more than likely, the same people who probably insisted that we go against the wishes of our allies, Germany, France and Canada when the decision was made to invade Iraq in 2003.

You know, i often wonder, even if the truth of what is really happening over there was widely reported, would anyone care, other than those that already do? That's just me thinking out loud. I wonder that sometimes.
