Today we explore the use of propaganda to control the political discourse. In particular the use of propaganda by the Israeli Lobby to alter historical facts and put forth a narrative that, though false, suits their imperialistic agenda. Sut Jhally, Professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, has studied and taught the issue for years, and was interviewed in a Washington Report on the Middle East webinar by Grant Smith.
If you have not seen Sut Jhallyâs film, the Occupation of the American Mind, you can find it for free on YouTube. It is an amazing piece of filmâ¦so good and so accurate that censoring it has become a major focus for the Israeli lobby.
Begun in 2004, This Week In Palestine (a weekly 8am feature of Truth and Justice Radio (TJR) is an award-winning 45-minute (or more) segment of news from Palestine and discussion of issues relevant to the Palestinians' struggle for freedom from Israel's brutal military occupation and colonization of their homeland. It speaks from the point of view of Palestinians and those who care about them. TJR has been aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, also streamed live and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's modest website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine's permanent archives back thru 1-6-2008. TJR sometimes airs Palestine coverage IN ADDITION to that provided by This Week In Palestine. We hope you'll write to us at tjradio@fastmail.com if you rebroadcast our work, or have questions or comments.
