Role of the Media NEW BOOK: BAD NEWS FROM ISRAEL (ei)
29-06-2004 08:26
The study suggests that television news on the Israel/Palestinian conflict confuses viewers and substantially features Israeli government views. Israelis are quoted and speak in interviews over twice as much asPalestinians and there are major differences in the language used to describe the two sides. This operates in
favours of the Israelis and influences how viewers understand the conflict.
This edition of the (E.I) also includes a piece on corruption in the Palestinian authority which I bosched on just to level things up. As in any struggle it's the innocent civilians who suffer. while fat cats get fatter..

Against "Human Rights"
28-06-2004 23:04
The Kosovo war was fought "not for territory but for values" according to Tony Blair. The bombing of Afghanistan in 2001 was conducted to help "the oppressed people of Afghanistan", according to George W. Bush, so that they may know "the generosity of America and our allies". Meanwhile, according to Jack Straw, stopping the bombing "would only prolong the suffering of the Afghan people". Pro-war adepts could easily adduce similar comforting thoughts about the war waged on Iraq in March 2003. The ideology of human rights is not only unversalist, but also universally accepted. Human rights organisations now regularly call for "humanitarian intervention" and decry the lack of attention to such crisis spots as the Democratic Republic of Congo. David Rieff notes that humanitarian organisations are now "among the most fervent interventionists". From a politics of fence-sitting to one of active political engagement, the ‘human rights’ movement has conducted a rapid and striking volte-face in the past decade, a paradigm-shift of shocking proportions. It is as if Ptolemy and Aristotle had given way to Copernicus and Descartes in ten, instead of 200, years. And David Chandler, for one, would like to know why...here we go again!!! lies before war...part 2 : Iran

"Social policy can support the economy when women are increasingly integrated in the working life for example. Childcare must be assured. If a shortage of workers exists, a useable health care must be established..But what happens if workers are in abundance?.. Strikes and lockouts are part of the so-called `class struggle from above' when owners of capital have the power to play off workers against the unemployed.."Building Bridges Radio - National Edition: Walls or Bridges?- From Palestine to
