On Tuesday, April 19th, I went to see the screening of The Occupation of the American Mind followed by a discussion with Executive Producer Sut Jhally. The movie showed the American's point of view regarding the Palestine-Israel conflict. The media shows one side of the whole story: Israel defending its country and people by attaching the Palestinians. Western media has portrayed the Israel-Palestine conflict as a conflict revolving around security and terrorism, with Israel being the victim. Israel has the capital, the technology, and military superiority, while the Palestinians struggle to find homes. This makes Israel the colonizer and Palestine the colonized. Isreal takes more land as the conflict progresses, causing thousands of Palestinians to lose their lives and houses.
