Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international Peace media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 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. Through the voices of scholars, media critics, peace activists, religious figures, and Middle East experts, Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land carefully analyzes and explains how--through the use of language, framing and context--the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza remains hidden in the news media, and Israeli colonization of the occupied terrorities appears to be a defensive move rather than an offensive one. The documentary also explores the ways that U.S. journalists, for reasons ranging from intimidation to a lack of thorough investigation, have become complicit in carrying out Israel's PR campaign. At its core, the documentary raises questions about the ethics and role of journalism, and the relationship between media and politics. Interviewees include Seth Ackerman, Mjr. Stav Adivi, Rabbi Arik Ascherman, Hanan Ashrawi, Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk, Neve Gordon, Toufic Haddad, Sam Husseini, Hussein Ibish, Robert Jensen, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Karen Pfeifer, Alisa Solomon, and Gila Svirsky. Sections: Intro | American Media: Occupied Territory | Hidden Occupation | Invisible Colonization | Violence in a Vacuum | Defining Who Is Newsworthy | Myth of U.S. Neutrality | Myth of the Generous Offer | Marginalized Voices | Is Peace Possible? Praise for the Film "I cannot recommend this documentary too highly. It should be required viewing for every student, for every taxpayer who is subsidizing the Israeli military machine, for every citizen in the United States." - Robert McChesney | University of Illinois "Painstakingly stripping away the myths and inaccuracies regularly passed off as truth by the U.S. media, this film not only reveals the motivations and methods of those responsible for skewing the picture, but also manages to present the most concise and accurate account of the history and implications of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and the role that the U.S. has played in the continuation of that conflict that I have seen... This is a very important piece of work that challenges the viewer to think twice before accepting a version of the world that owes more to the special interests of a powerful elite than to any notion of freedom of the press." - Donna Baillie | Director, Women in Black and Secret Hebron: The School Run "Extraordinarily powerful and courageous." - Bo Smith | Boston Museum of Fine Arts "The work is brilliant... touching the heart and stimulating the mind. The script, visuals, and editing are superb -- never have I been so moved by a single film." - Jack G. Shaheen | Author, Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People "...hands down one of the best films I've seen on American media and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict." - Laila Al Qatami | American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee "...enormously intelligent and effective...very well edited and presented." - Paul Beckett | Palestine-Israel Peace and Justice Alliance "...essential viewing for all who care about human rights, for all American taxpayers, and especially for journalists and editors." - Mazin Quemsiyeh, M.D. | Al-Awda Right of Return Coalition "A really clear presentation of the problems of media and Middle East conflict. A superlative film." - Gila Svirsky | Coalition of Women for Just Peace, Israel "Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land is the best, least biased presentation we have of all the issues involved. A must-see documentary." - Chalmers Johnson | Author, Sorrows of Empire "I'm just blown away by the sheer scope of it, the depth, the clear analysis." - Amir Terkel | Filmmaker, Other Voices from Israel and Palestine "While I have always understood that the war here is over words and images, as much as it is over land and bones there, the film really enlightened me about the complexity and profundity of this form of colonization of the mind...[it] will clearly be pivotal in this movement and a priceless educational tool." - Cecilie Surasky | Jewish Voice for Peace "Superbly done!" - Ahmed Bouzid | Palestine Media Watch

Britain's Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks' Views on Israel One very strong criticism from within the Jewish community against Israeli policies has come from Prof. Jonathan Sacks, Britain's Chief Rabbi. In aninterview, published in The Guardian on August 27, 2002, Sacks sternly criticized Israel, arguing that the country was adopting a stance "incompatible" with the deepest ideals of Judaism, and that the current conflict with the Palestinians was "corrupting" Israeli society. Sacks, who became the chief rabbi of Britain's Orthodox Jews in 1991, and who has been the leader of a Jewish community of 280,000 in the country, is known as a loyal supporter of Israel and a veteran who has worked for the establishment of peace in the region. "I regard the current situation as nothing less than tragic. It is forcing Israel into postures that are incompatible in the long run with our deepest ideals" said Sacks. He added that "there are things that happen on a daily basis which make me feel very uncomfortable as a Jew." He went on to say that he was "profoundly shocked" at the reports of Israeli soldiers smiling while posing for photographs with the corpses of slain Palestinians.a The chief Rabbi's denouncement of Israeli savagery in the name of Judaism reminds us an important fact: It is not permitted for either a true Muslim or a true Jew to shed innocent blood. All divine religions forbid violence, war, and unjust murder, and command peace and the helping to those in need. Jonathan Sacks also noted that Israelis, who have lived centuries in dispersion, should very well understand the plight of Palestinians: You cannot ignore a command that is repeated 36 times in the Mosaic books: 'You were exiled in order to know what it feels like to be an exile.' I regard that as one of the core projects of a state that is true to Judaic principle. b In the same interview, Sacks also answered the questions about a secret meeting he held in 2000 with Abdullah Javadi-Amoli, one of the highest-ranking clerics of Iran, during a conference of religious leaders, and noted, interestingly: We established within minutes a common language, because we take certain things very seriously: we take faith seriously, we take texts seriously. It's a particular language that believers share. c The chief rabbi Sacks' words are an example of the peaceful dialogue that must be established between Muslims and Jews (and, of course, Christians). All three faiths have enjoined justice, honesty, the rescue of the oppressed, and peace and love. The adherents of all the three faiths believe in God, love the same prophets; there should be no hostility between them. a Jonathan Freedland, "Israel Set On Tragic Path, Says Chief Rabbi", The Guardian, August27, 2002 b Jonathan Freedland, "Israel Set On Tragic Path, Says Chief Rabbi", The Guardian, August27, 2002 c Jonathan Freedland, "Israel Set On Tragic Path, Says Chief Rabbi", The Guardian, August27, 2002

According to FBI the actual USA police service recognized as the proper trustable crime agency went to India and Pakistan to investigate and analyze the evidences India present. And FBI rejects it and asserts Ajmal Kasab had no Pakistani links. Indian Hindus stop spreading lies and fake evidences because the world is sick of it. I mean we even caught you speaking to the terrorists of Mumbai. Just surrender you are not as good as Israeli Jewish zionist the mumbai fraud is exposed to the maximum that it was a Indian inside Job by radical Hindu extremist to defame Pakistan and allow Obama to go in from the western border and take over Pakistan and take their nuclear weapons seeing as Pakistan is the only Nuclear Muslim Power of the world. remember Obama promised he was going to attack Pakistan and it is not a surprise that Indian tried to cash in and try to get a reason to go into Pakistan from the East. How is possible that the Indian army officers that were exposing the truth about the Indian army and their terrorist attacks (like the one in Samjotha express and the Indian Parliament attacks) were killed minutes after the Mumbai attacks. Indian doctors have themselves addressed very clearly that the terrorist arrested had certain areas of the body deliberately destroyed to hide the identity. Remember Indian media had started spreading lies about Pakistan within hours after the attack before and investigation taken place they had accused Pakistan quite immaturely. Whereas, the Pakistani government was very co-operative they never denied that the people could be from Pakistan or accepted it until they had studied and investigate it. Even Indian Mahastra Minister resigned after Mumbai attacks accusing the Indian police and agency for not looking at the 50 different Hindu terrorist organizations such as Shiv Sena, Karela, and their own extremist BJP party. The eye witness of the terror scenes admitted that there were several white people talking to the terrorist and there were terrorist talking in Marathi language which is non-existent in Pakistan and only exist in India. There is clear evidence also showing that Indians and Israelis have a very strong relation in funding terrorist in correspondence with CIA (USA intelligence Agency) run by the Israelis that hate the Muslims. Look what happens in Palestine Isreali occupying Muslim lands killing innocents on the basis of terrorism. This neoconservative zionism is really the problems of the world check it out. If you study the ideologies of the Christian and Jewish zionist you will see there beliefs and why they are doing this. Pakistan has already shot and killed 3 air Israeli air planes trying to attack Pakistan Nuclear bases so this perfect for Israelis to use India to attack Pakistan the last hope and considerable force of the Muslim world. Remember Our India is majority Hindu who massacre thousands of Muslims and lower caste Hindus. They rape women from other caste religion ethnicity on daily basis in India there is proof everywhere. They considered cows and sheeps more sacred than many humans. Why do you think Quaid-e-Azam (the founder of Pakistan) was a so eager that he said even if he make Pakistan I square feet he would. The father of Pakistan was considered great friend of Mahatma Gandhi and both believed in peace and unity and to live together but when he realized the hatred and abuse by the hindus and when he saw that the two religions are completely opposite he was forced to create Pakistan. I wish my Muslim family had moved to Pakistan when we had the chance. Hindu Zionism has been nonstop throughout Indian history. India is not secular it is not democratic overall maybe in the developed regions but not through out. Just ask the tamils what these Hindu radical do to them everyday. Why is the Indian Congress full of Hindus. Look at our emblem it is based upon the Askhoka vision. Which was basically to expand India under Hindu caste ideologies that extended from Iran to Nepal. I mean the very symbol of the Indian flag is created upon that so what else do you want me to say.

Otto Weininger was born on April 3, 1880 in Vienna as a son of the Jewish goldsmith Leopold Weininger and his wife Adelheid. After attending primary school and graduating from secondary school in July 1898, Weininger registered at the University of Vienna in October of the same year. He studied philosophy and psychology but took courses in natural sciences and medicine as well. Weininger learned Greek, Latin, French and English very early, later also Spanish and Italian, and acquired passive knowledge of the language of August Strindberg and Henrik Ibsen.In the autumn of 1901 Weininger tried to find a publisher for his work Eros and the Psyche - which he submitted to his professors Jodl and Müllner as his thesis in 1902. He met Sigmund Freud who, however, did not recommend the text to a publisher. His professors accepted the thesis and Weininger received his Ph.D. degree. Shortly thereafter he became proudly and enthusiastically a Protestant.In 1902 Weininger went to Bayreuth where he witnessed a performance of Richard Wagners Parsifal which left him deeply impressed. Via Dresden and Copenhagen he made his way to Christiania (Oslo) where he for the first time saw Henrik Ibsens liberation drama Peer Gynt on stage. Upon his return to Vienna Weininger suffered from fits of deep depression. The decision to take his own life gradually took shape in his mind; after a long discussion with his friend Artur Gerber, however, Weininger realized that it is not yet time. In June 1903, after months of concentrated work, his book Sex and Character - a fundamental investigation - an attempt to place sex relations in a new and decisive light - was published by the Vienna publishers Braumüller & Co. The book contained his thesis to which three vital chapters were added: (XII) The Nature of Woman and her Relation to the Universe, (XIII) Judaism, (XIV) Women and Humanity. While the book was not received negatively, it did not create the expected stir. Weininger was attacked by Paul Julius Moebius, professor in Leipzig and author of the book On the Physiological Deficiency of Women, and accused of plagiarizing. Deeply disappointed and tortured by doubts Weininger left for Italy. Back in Vienna he spent his last five days with his parents. On October 3, he took a room in the house in Schwarzspanierstraße 15 where Ludwig van Beethoven died. He told the landlady that he was not to be disturbed before morning since he planned to work and then to go to bed late. This night he wrote two letters, one addressed to his father, the other one to his brother Richard, telling them that he was going to shoot himself. In October 4, Weininger was found mortally wounded having shot himself through the heart, and he died in Wiener Allgemeines Krankenhaus at half past ten that morning. It was assumed by his close friends and family that he had decided to take his own life because of his failure to convince the world that he had overcome Judaism within himself and had become a true Aryan. Otto Weininger was buried on the Matzleinsdorf Protestant Cemetery in Vienna. The epitaph by his father translates: "This stone closes the resting place of a young man whose mind never really found peace on earth. And after imparting revelations of his mind and soul he could not bear any longer to be among the living. He searched for the death realm of one of the greatest minds that dwelled in the house in Schwarzspanierstrasse and put an end to his bodily existence."
