    I watched this recently and thought others might also find it interesting. I only recently began considering this issue when Trump pointed out that America had agreed to give Israel 38 Billion dollars for security purposes but yet we can not seem to find 5 Billion for our own border.

    This is another interesting video which interviews Israeli military men who served during the 67 war and held positions of authority in the courts afterward and how they dealt with the aftermath of the resettlement of the Palestinian people and Israeli courts.

    It is interesting although I suspect it's also an attempt to "occupy" the American mind from the other extreme, something which has been happening in Europe for quite a few years - ever since political interests of the left decided to court the Muslim vote which is the only demographic growing in Europe. Noam Chomski is an anarchist, albeit a hyphenated anarchist (he is a member of the intelligentsia after all so couldn't be a common or garden anarchist), which raises suspicions for me. In Europe, all things Islamic are praised, excused, justified or explained away with the very odd exception. Had the Taliban targeted a Mary instead of a Malala, there wouldn't have been a mention of the attack never mind raising her to iconic status.

    That the media in the West are far from balanced or objective shouldn't be any surprise to Christians. That the more liberal US media outlets are shifting their propaganda from being pro all things Israel to being anti a conservative government in Israel isn't really surprising. Remember John Kerry's spokeswoman telling the world that young men wouldn't be joining ISIS if they had better job prospects. Other than more conservative commentators, most media hacks bought that line. The same hacks would shift back soon enough if there were a change of government in Israel. Money buys propaganda.

    Watching the part about Israel claiming that their bombing the Palestinians was in response to rocket attacks on Israel which never happened, it brought to mind the bombing which coincided with Isis moving from Syria into Iraq. All the media attention then was on the Palestinian victims of the Israeli bombs. It was a distraction from Isis being able to move in convoy unhindered across open territory from one country to another. I wonder now whether the ensuing devastation in Iraq somehow served Israel's interests. It did serve the interests of ISIS.

    I suppose we'll never know the whole truth, and if we do it won't be revealed by the established media.
