The Occupation of the American
Mind
Loretta
Alper/Jeremy Earp, USA, 2016, USA/Gaza/Palestine, English, 84 min.
The
documentary showcases the
propaganda distributed of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and urges people to
notice the dehumanizing of the Palestinian peoples in media coverage. Most of the aggression is
perpetrated by the IDF, yet it is the
spokesperson from Israel’s media that incessantly talks about Palestinian
aggression.
We see peaceful
Palestinian protests, but IDF with guns, armoured cars and massive use of tear
gas. It’s David against Goliath. Yet the media manages to misrepresent every
conflict that erupts. Criticising Israel
is tantamount to being ‘anti-semitic’ (a Semite could come from any part of the Middle East, including Syria, Mesopotamia, North Africa, and further afield,
including Palestinians). The mass media
has been covering up the true facts and are conjuring up a different reality...
