1967 – un called for israel to withdraw.. they still have west bank and gaza strip under military occupation, today (2003) 3 million palestinians live under illegal military occupation

11 min – 1983 – israel launches pr – to come across well in u.s. – targeting of american media

17 min

1\ pr strategy – hidden occupation –

showing violence of palestinians against soldiers.. calling it defense. when actually can’t be called defense.. because soldiers are illegally occupying the land

the goal is to annex the land

2\ pr strategy – invisible colonialism – ie: change journalist verbiage from gilo/settlement to neighborhood; settlements are illegitimate

2000-2003 – demolish 1000+ homes

3\pr strategy – violence in a vacuum

what creates this circumstance – suicide bombers

normalization of horror – exclusion of the human dimension on reporting of palestinian deaths..

40 min – terrorism – rather than the reason for the acts..

42 min

4\ pr strategy – defining who is newsworthy

2000-2003 – over 500 israeli civilians.. most inside israel by palestinian suicide bombers

over 2000 palestinian civilians .. most in the occupied territories by israeli soldiers

when no israelis are killed – reported as relatively calm/quiet..

50 min – antiseptic language

51 min

5\ pr strategy – myth of u.s. neutrality

ie: favored israel almost 100% of the time

53 min – noam – the peace process – u.s. to prevent peace

2002 – 6 billion 3 billion indirect.. not included.. weapons.. 1949-200 – 100 billion

55 min – pipeline of violence – stamped: made in the u.s.a.

so what’s the point of journalism?

59 min

6\ pr strategy – myth of the generous offer

1:01 – camp david 2000 – the deal was shown as wonderful.. but actually was no offer to palestinians – the occupation was not being dis membered – it was being consolidated – like palestinians get a house.. and can have access to most drooms.. but israelis would own all the hallways and some of the rooms – so check points to go through anywhere

1:06

7\ pr strategy – marginalized voices

as people (from both sides) work for peace – absent in media

1:14 – if americans knew their tax dollars were being used for these atrocities…. so.. we nee to wake up
