Media, Zionism, and Palestinian Narratives

This chapter examines the profound role of Zionist agendas in shaping American media narratives about Israel and Palestine. It discusses the historical context of biased representations, the pressures faced by dissenting voices, and the repercussions for journalists who critiqued these narratives, with a particular focus on Dorothy Thompson's experiences. The analysis calls for a reevaluation of the portrayal of Palestinian self-determination and highlights the ethical implications of media influence on public perception.
