Is the board able to have a serious discussion about it without all the conditioned responses? It’s very very noticeable because it is 100% to do with protecting Israel. Yeah, the US media has very very obvious bias towards pushing certain narratives with ZERO about the Palestinian perspective. Now, serious people that talk about this obvious bias differ on the reason. However, it’s not in debate.
Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land: Israel & Palestine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_lobby_in_the_United_States The Israel lobby (at times called the Zionist lobby or sometimes the Jewish lobby) is a term used to describe the diverse coalition of those who, as individuals and as groups, seek and have sought to influence the foreign policy of the United States in support of Zionism, Israel or the specific policies of its government.[1] The lobby consists of both Christian-American and Jewish-American secular and religious groups.
The Israel lobby
Israel is a 19th century, ethno-supremacist colonial project creating an apartheid. It’s an anachronism and it’s very own actions are going to make itself self-destruct.
Reality on the ground in occupied territories is a million miles from common US perception. The internet, now, pierces that bubble and the sands are shifting under Israel’s feet.
Silence of a nation
Does this obvious systemic manifestation represent “The Jews”? Of course not – but it is real and if you want to have serious, clear headed discussions about powerful social forces influencing the direction of the country it needs to be discussed.
Now it could be argued that the military-security-fossil fuel complex is the main beneficiary of the stress Israel causes as Chomsky does because it advances US imperial interests. Which is an argument that has merit.
As far as Ron Paul goes. Yes, Israeli apologists hate him.
Look at Ben Stein call RP an antisemite for questioning terrorist motivation. Now, why would he do that?
