This is a good video. I've often said that the main obstacle to peace in the Middle East is the drumbeat of hatred. A global jihad against western civilization. Getting babies to want to become suicide warriors. Hitlerian propaganda. The single most important thing to do to end war in the Middle East is to stop the hatred.
Any film that is shown at a conservative film festival and promoted by Glen Beck and Fox has got to be questioned.
"In a film that so adamantly rails the influence of self-sequestered mass media, it ironically ignores the possibility of its own bias and its influence over a public possessing limited, mediated communication with a foreign culture."
The film features analysis by figures such as Alan M. Dershowitz, Daniel Pipes and Steven Emerson. The film might have been less questionable if these three loons hadn't been in it. Because they are I will not waste my time watching it.
It has always been a mystery why the obvious "elephant in the room" mentality still persists as to the actions of the Israeli military and Intelligence services. A question you always evade is; where do you think all that hatred comes from?

Footage from a video camera handed out by an Israeli human rights group appears to show Jewish settlers beating up Palestinians in the West Bank.
An elderly shepherd, his wife and a nephew said they were attacked by four masked men for allowing their animals to graze near the settlement of Susia.
The rights group, B'Tselem, said the cameras were provided to enable Palestinians to get proof of attacks.
A spokesman for the Israeli police said that an investigation was under way.
So far, no-one has been arrested.
Baseball bats
For the past year, B'Tselem has handed out video cameras to Palestinians as part of its "Shooting Back" project.
The BBC has been given exclusive access to the footage of this particular attack, which happened earlier this week. The date and time on the camera footage shows that it is Sunday afternoon.
Over the brow of the hill walk four masked men holding baseball bats. To the right of the screen, in the foreground, stands a 58-year-old Palestinian woman.
Thamam al-Nawaja has been herding her goats close to the Jewish settlement of Susia, near Hebron in the southern West Bank.
Within a few seconds, she, along with her 70-year-old husband and one of her nephews, will be beaten up.
As the first blows land, the woman filming - the daughter-in-law of the elderly couple - drops the camera and runs for help.
