This is what is happening right now in Palestine. Israel is using all of its powerful influence with the western media to pose as the innocent victim of a violent, vicious
and untrustworthy people - the Palestinians - demonising and blaming them in order to justify the violence, ethnic cleansing and oppression used by the Israeli Army and
the Settlers to maintain their illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
Israel finds easy acceptance in the western press for its propaganda. For decades
the western media has drawn a picture of Arab culture and Islam that portrays the Arab people as fanatical terrorists who are intolerant and anti-democratic. This has
skewed and influenced public opinion in America and Europe, culminating in a distortion of perception that has led western democracies, particularly the United
States, to support, almost without question, Israel's conquest of Palestine and the subjugation of its people.
