"Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land: U.S. Media and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict"

Thusday was the first day of class and I have admit that I was pretty nervous. I like history (I am a history major) but I am comfortable with American history. I have never taken any classes on the Middle East or Africa. I do not know much at all about either region and did not know what to expect. So, for the first day of class we watched a new movie that just became available to the public called, "Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land: U.S. Media and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict." I was totally taken back when I was watching all of the violence that was going on and all of the violence that the United States has been supporting over there. I know that United States news anchors and journalists can be bias or use propoganda as a maniuplative tactic however, I never thought that a story could have 2 completely different sides of which neither have a solid purpose or objective.
