    So they have largely supported Israel's position?

    It is at least my opinion that U.S. MSM has an egregious pro Israel bias after following events in that troubled region for over 50 years and spending 10 - 11 months walking & hitch hiking by myself throughout the Islamic Middle East.

    The reason I went to the Mid East was to see for myself if the Muslims were really as vicious as they are portrayed by U.S. MSM so I was able to see, first hand, some of the realities of that conflict.

    I quickly saw the degree to which Americans have been professionally deceived by the fraudulent & simplistic "evil Muslims" vs "poor Israelis" narrative.

    What is as distressing as that fraudulent narrative is the abject gullibility of the unquestioning Americans who believe it to this very day.

    Thanks for your interest in my humble opinion based on first hand experience.

    A study of 50 years of headlines in 5 top newspapers finds that media coverage of Israel-Palestine favors Israel by providing more overall coverage, more positive coverage, and greater access to Israeli voices than to Palestinian ones. Much of this can be attributed to pressure from the pro-Israel lobby.

    The Palestinians have never had a voice in the United States. Look at the money AIPAC invests every year in individual US politicians. Its rather startling.

    Well...to be honest.... I would guess that's a judgement call. I suppose one indication of it would be to call someone "evil" just because you don't like them or their politics though. :shrug:

    Do you not see a difference between the past 5 years and the 45 years before that?

    Are you referring to a real situation where someone did this?

    meanwhile you routinely call Israelis and Zionists "parasites".

    When I was a kid we used to listen to Voice of America and the BBC. Israel was always killing Lebanese farmers and trying to re route Lebanese rivers into Israel.

    Those broadcasts were NOT in the US.. American press never covered the constant small massacres in Lebanon nor the efforts to steal topsoil or divert rivers.

    No, I call individuals and organizations who prey on American blood & resources parasites.

    this quote is of course, a fraud.

    It comes from Wayne Madsen, a notorious psychotic and conspiracy theorist.

    he literally just makes **** up

    @Grau, does your 'liking' of my above post mean that you think that the media has largely supported Israel's position in the banning affair?

    And what do these broadcasts have to do with whether or not Palestine has a voice in the US?

    These small monthly massacres of Lebanese farmers were never reported in the US news.

    So when you say that Palestine doesn't have a voice in the US, you mean that Palestinian news stories don't reach the US or aren't covered by US media?
