This summer Israel launched another war on Lebanon, all the while continuing its brutal occupation of Palestine. While the Israelis have yet to completely pull out of Lebanon after the ceasefire, the media, particularly the US media, have all but forgotten the summer war that left thousands of Lebanese dead. Today we begin the show with a focus on how the American consciousness is shaped by US media coverage. Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land is a documentary produced by the Media Education Foundation which makes a striking comparison between US and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites–oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others–work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported. Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land features Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk, Robert Jensen, Seth Ackerman, Hanan Ashrawi, Hussein Ibish, Sam Husseini, Stav Adivi, Rabbi Michael Lerner, and others.
