THE OCCUPATION OF THE AMERICAN MINDIsrael's Public Relations War in the United StatesBy Loretta Alper & Jeremy EarpNarrated by: Roger Waters of Pink Floyd&GAZA TUNNELS
7pm THURSDAY MAY 192994 DOUGLAS (BCGEU HALL)Admission by Donation
"The Occupation of the American Mind" shows Israel's ongoing military occupation of Palestinian territory and its repeated invasions of the Gaza strip have triggered a fierce backlash against Israeli policies virtually everywhere in the world — except the United States.
It takes an eye-opening look at this critical exception, zeroing in on pro-Israel public... relations efforts within the U.S. Narrated by Roger Waters and featuring leading observers of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, the film explores how the Israeli government, the U.S. government, and the pro-Israel lobby have joined forces, often with very different motives, to shape American media coverage of the conflict in Israel's favour.
Provides a sweeping analysis of Israel's decades-long battle for the hearts, minds, and tax dollars of the American people — a battle that has only intensified over the past few years in the face of widening international condemnation of Israel's increasingly right-wing policies.
"Gaza Tunnels" is a short film that gives an inside look at the tunnels under Gaza and the men who risk their lives to bring in essential supplies.
