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

the beginning of the incursion... this is why they are hiding the facts.... United Nations, you are adding a crime against our people.... [Oh nation] this war in Gaza is not the war of Hamas and Palestine only. Its your war. You either win it or lose it like you lost Palestine 60 years ago.... To the people of Gaza I say ... God chose you to write a page of glory.... This is the beginning of victory to Gaza.... To the Israelis we say: This is the beginning of the great war.... This is the beginning of the end for you. Pack your bags.... You should understand clearly that we decided to win this fight and we will, if God wills.The ticker at the bottom of the screen read, "Millions around the world protest to demand an end of Israeli operations in Gaza."Al Arabiya, the other huge pan-Arab news channel, scrolled at the bottom of its screen: "Urgent: children and women among the victims of the Israeli invasion.The images and the rushing of ambulances are enough to show what the humanitarian situation in Gaza is, the anchorman of Al Arabiya said.The reporters called Israeli soldiers the army of the occupation.On the Shiite militia Hezbollahs Al Manar television, the reporter in Gaza claimed that the Israeli tanks remained in the uninhabited zones and could not enter inside the villages.He added that the primary goal of the Israelis was to kill the biggest possible number of Palestinians. This morning, there were two martyrs whose age was less 2 years, he added.A retired Lebanese army general and military expert, Walid Soukariyeh, said in a live interview with the channel that Israeli elite soldiers had only entered the uninhabited zones of the Gaza Strip and like the July 2006 war with Hezbollah would find a lot of resistance in the villages and would not be able to enter the residential areas.He said that the resistance fighters were showing steadfastness and would prevent Israeli soldiers from entering inhabited areas. He said that Israelis were trying to isolate the different parts of the Gaza Strip but all they were doing was encircling towns in vain.A spokesperson from a Palestinian militant group in Gaza, Abou Ahmad, told Al Manar in a telephone interview that the enemy tried to isolate Gaza City but instead the opposite happened and all their efforts were squandered.He assured viewers that there were thousands of fighters that were fiercely battling the Israeli army. He said that the enemy's elite had been vanquished.A caricature published in the Saudi-owned Al Hayat newspaper today showed one spent rocket signed, From Hamas falling inside Israel with tens of television and photo cameras focused on it, while tens of Israeli rockets falling on Gaza were ignored.The main headline of the newspaper said, An invasion from several fronts.... Gaza under the threat of a holocaust.The Lebanese pro-Hezbollah daily Al Diyar described the battle of Gaza as the historical war for Palestine.The newspaper wrote that based on reports the Palestinian resistance is fiercely fighting against the Israeli army and inflicting material and human losses and is fully ready to face the aggression and will show heroic acts and offer martyrdom to prevent Israel from reaching its goal of causing the fall of Gaza.An editorial published by the newspaper today said that the resistance of Gaza and its victory will be the second defeat for Israel, adding that Israel would not overcome this defeat after losing a first battle against the Lebanese resistance.The next generations will talk about the defeat of Israel and the collapse of its nation ... in the face of a resistance fighting with their chests against rockets, warplanes and fire, it said. - Thanks to ArchivesAlgeriennes -Reporters in Gaza : http://ingaza.wordpress.com/ http://electronicintifada.net/new.shtml
I. The Process and Spirit of Drafting the TextThe Catechism of the Catholic Church is the result of very extensive collaboration; it was prepared over six years of intense work done in a spirit of complete openness and fervent zeal.In 1986, I entrusted a commission of twelve Cardinals and Bishops, chaired by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, with the task of preparing a draft of the catechism requested by the Synod Fathers. An editorial committee of seven diocesan Bishops, experts in theology and catechesis, assisted the commission in its work.The commission, charged with giving directives and with overseeing the course of the work, attentively followed all the stages in editing the nine subsequent drafts. The editorial committee, for its part, assumed responsibility for writing the text, making the emendations requested by the commission and examining the observations of numerous theologians, exegetes and catechists, and above all, of the Bishops of the whole world, in order to produce a better text. In the committee various opinions were compared with great profit, and thus a richer text has resulted whose unity and coherence are assured.The project was the object of extensive consultation among all Catholic Bishops, their Episcopal Conferences or Synods, and theological and catechetical institutes. As a whole, it received a broadly favourable acceptance on the part of the Episcopate. It can be said that this Catechism is the result of the collaboration of the whole Episcopate of the Catholic Church, who generously accepted my invitation to share responsibility for an enterprise which directly concerns the life of the Church. This response elicits in me a deep feeling of joy, because the harmony of so many voices truly expresses what could be called the "symphony" of the faith. The achievement of this Catechism thus reflects the collegial nature of the Episcopate; it testifies to the Church's catholicity.2. Arrangement of the MaterialA catechism should faithfully and systematically present the teaching of Sacred Scripture, the living Tradition in the Church and the authentic Magisterium, as well as the spiritual heritage of the Fathers, Doctors and saints of the Church, to allow for a better knowledge of the Christian mystery and for enlivening the faith of the People of God. It should take into account the doctrinal statements which down the centuries the Holy Spirit has intimated to his Church. It should also help to illumine with the light of faith the new situations and problems which had not yet emerged in the past.This catechism will thus contain both the new and the old (cf. Mt 13:52), because the faith is always the same yet the source of ever new light.To respond to this twofold demand, the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the one hand repeats the "old", traditional order already followed by the Catechism of St. Pius V, arranging the material in four parts: the Creed, the Sacred Liturgy, with pride of place given to the sacraments, the Christian way of life, explained beginning with the Ten Commandments, and finally, Christian prayer. At the same time, however, the contents are often presented in a "new" way in order to respond to the questions of our age.
