Jewish Media Power
Jews have disproportionate influence on the medias in the West; the press, TV/Satellite channels, radio stations, publishing houses, and also in the film industry where for instance the Jewish dominance over Hollywood is used to promote their Apartheid state of Israel and Jewish values, and where the political enemies of Zionism are portrayed as sub-human. We also recommend reading on the different Jewish media magnates in our respective sections on for instance Britain, Canada, Sweden, Ukraine, Georgia and Russia. Many of these magnates/tycoons/oligarchs have direct contacts with Israel and the highest echelons of that state.
Hollywood is mainly -
according to Jewish sources - in Jewish hands, and is misused as an
instrument of propaganda. The Hollywood films shape the minds of
Westerners but also, due to their Global reach, the rest of the world as
well.
"Four of the largest five entertainment giants are now run or owned by Jews. Murdoch's News Corp (at number four) is the only gentile holdout -- however Rupert is as pro-Israel as any Jew, probably more so."
-- Los Angeles Jewish Times, 'Yes, Virginia, Jews Do Control the Media', Oct. 29-Nov. 11, 1999, p. 14.
"Time-Warner, Disney, Viacom-CBS, News Corporation and Universal rule the entertainment world in a way that the old Hollywood studio chiefs only dreamed of. And, after all the deals and buyouts, four of the five are run by Jews. We're back to where we started, bigger than ever."
-- Jewish Week, 9-17-1999, 12.
"Let’s be honest with ourselves, here, fellow Jews. We do control the media. We’ve got so many dudes up in the executive offices in all the big movie production companies it’s almost obscene. [...] Did you know that all eight major film studios are run by Jews?"
-- Jewish journalist Elad Nehorai in "Jews DO control the media", The Times of Israel, July 1, 2012.

An analysis of Jewish influence in U.S. TV, radio, newspapers
"The greatest concentration of Jews, however, is at the producer level --
and it is the producers who decide which stories will go on the air, and how long, and in what order, they will run. In 1982, before a shift in assignments, the executive producers of all three evening newscasts were Jewish, as were the executive producers of CBS's 60 Minutes and ABC's 20/20. And Jews are almost equally prominent at the 'senior producer' and 'broadcast producer' levels as well as in senior management. When Reuven Frank stepped down as president of NBC News in 1984, for example, he was replaced by Laurence Grossman, who left the presidency of PBS to take the position."

"Uzi
Safanov, a writer at the Seawanhaka newspaper of Long Island
University in New York, agreed. 'I'm a Jew before being a
journalist, before someone pays me to write,' he said. 'If I
find a negative thing about Israel, I will not print it and
I will sink into why did it happen and what can I do to
change it.'
Safanov said that even if he eventually wrote about negative incidents that happen in Israel, he would try to find the way 'to shift the blame.' " - Jewish Bulletin of Northern California, November 23, 2001, in an article reporting on a Jewish journalist meeting at "Do the Write Thing", a special program for student journalists sponsored by the Jewish Agency for Israel and the World Zionist Organization at the General Assembly of the United Jewish Communities. |

Regency's Arnon Milchan with arch-Zionists Shimon Peres and Benjamin Netanyahu |
Arnon Milchan is an Israeli film producer in Hollywood behind the famous "Regency" production brand. The Los Angeles Magazine (April, 2000) writes: "Throughout the 1970s, '80s, and even up until the Gulf War in 1991, Milchan was Israel's foremost weapons procurer". The Hollywood producer Milchan was also involved in the cooperation and military arrangements between Apartheid South Africa and Israel, to circumvent the boycotts. Milchan told CBS "60 Minutes" (3/5/2000 edition): "I was playing an important role in the system of collecting money from South Africa, or transferring money, or helping South Africa in their financial transactions." According to "60 Minutes", some of the money Milchan moved around the world came from an illegal $100 million slush fund set up by the South African government used to buy off politicians and foreign media outlets critical of its policies.

Haim Saban, Jewish Hollywood Mogul:
"His greatest concern, he says, is to protect Israel, by

to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media
outlets."

Reflections
By Joseph Sobran (12/1997)
At a ceremony in Los Angeles in 2002, Jerry Weintraub - a famous Jewish Hollywood agent/producer/executive - was awarded the "Golan Fund's Humanitarian Award" by right-wing (at the time former) Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanjahu. The Golan Fund is a Zionist organization, described at one Internet web site as "a non-profit organization in the U.S. Its objective is to support developing Jewish life in the Golan [Heights -- part of the Occupied Territories of Israel] by strengthening the 32 [Jewish] communities and the city of Qatzrin.") |
Murdoch's media empire and the Fox News |
In 1997, the United Jewish Appeal revealed the real colours of the Jewish community by awarding its "Humanitarian of the Year" award to media mogul Rupert Murdoch at a fund-raising dinner that raised $2.3 million for the organization. Mother Jones magazine wondered about the surreal moral reasoning behind the award: "The media baron is better known to labor and human rights groups for his union-busting and for catering to the Chinese government (in 1994 he yanked the BBC off his Asian satellite network because officials in Beijing were angered by its reporting on Chinese human rights violations)." (Mother Jones, 9/10-1997, p. 18)
"By what criteria has the UJA chosen the worldwide robber baron for this
years' award over, say, Radovan Karadzic [accused of war crimes in Bosnia],
or perhaps Larry Flynt [the pornographer]?" wondered Eric Alterman
in the Nation, "... Murdoch was chosen, the UJA says, for his 'longtime
support of the security of the state of Israel, his friendship for the Jewish
people, and his support of UJA.'" [ALTERMAN, p. 6-7] The
Australian-born Murdoch had earlier been honored in 1982 as the "Communications
Man of the Year" by the American Jewish Congress. He was presented that award by
AJC president Howard Squadron, who was also Murdoch's American lawyer, his guide
to visit right-wing politician Ariel Sharon in Israel, and an opinion page
writer for Murdoch's New York Post. [GOLDSTEIN, T, p. 69; KIERNAN, T., 1986, p.
262] "The Jewish national cause is one that is extremely important to me, to
my family, and to my company," Murdoch told the UJA audience,
"...
We're also in Israel [Murdoch has investments there] because of
my
faith in the integrity and worthiness of the Zionist undertaking. I have been
accused of being pro-Israel, pro-Zionist, pro-Jewish -- charges to which I plead
guilty." [LEON, M., 7-4-1997, p. 16]

The result - Media bias |
Media bias in the U.S. is the manifestation and endresult of Israel's power in the Western world. It is not always so much in blatant lies, but rather, it is in telling half-truths, taking events out of their historical context, and giving gentler names to actions by Israel vice vile ones to actions by Palestinians and Arabs.

Jewish Fantasies of Israel: Coping
With Cognitive Dissonance
By Leon Hadar (Washington Report 08/1989). Discusses how the image of Israel in the minds of American Jews is basically a fantasy that is quite different from reality. Also, tells how the Israeli Hebrew press describes a vastly more accurate picture of the events and sins of Israel, than the image of Israel in Ameircan Jews' minds. When not told about the origin of some Israeli press articles they were asked to examine, most of American Jews thought it was from an anti-Semitic or anti-Israel Arab press. No one guessed it was the Israeli press. The difference between the Israeli and the American Jewish press are a further testament to that.

Middle East "Experts": The spectrum of news analysts and commentators is divided between the hard-core pro-Israel individuals, such as George Will and William Safire, versus the mildly pro-Israel ones, such as Tom Friedman and Ted Koppel. By selective criticism of Israel, the latters are made to appear as anti-Israel hence, giving the unsuspecting audience the illusion of balance reporting and equal representations on both sides of the issue. In addition Middle East guests on shows usually span the same spectrum of opinion of hardcore versus mildly pro-Israel. So not surprisingly, the only Arab-American who appears with frequency as a "Middle East expert" is professor Fouad Ajami, who was reportedly viewed, even by president Bush, as "more anti-Arabs than the Israelis," after the latter summoned Ajami to a meeting before the Gulf War (see a review of Ajami's book, the dream palace of the Arabs, by Andrew Robin from the Nation dated 03/23/1997.) Rarely, if ever, does one see such true Middle East experts as Edward Said, Norman Finkelstein, and Noam Chomsky, anywhere near media outlets. (This is also partially due to these experts themselves turning down invitations to shows which usually dictates on them presenting their case in few minutes.)
Slogan/Myth Drilling (with Response)
The deception in Middle East politics lies
in the detail, not the headlines where most people "get their news
about the Middle East". This accounts for some of the distorted
view of the true Middle East in people's minds. Other methods of
media deceptions is the continuous drilling of false slogans and
cliches into people's minds, so that when one is too lazy to seek
a detailed book for the facts, as most people are, he/she will
fall back on to these "truths." These slogans also serve to
mobilize diaspora Jews to pressure the US to accept Israeli
position. Such slogans include:
- "Israel is the only democracy in the
Middle East" rather than a democracy for Jews, a
colonialist and a religiously exclusive state. Even Jews (of
denominations other than Orthodox and/or of Sephardi origin)
are discriminated against in Israel.
- "Israel made the desert bloom",
but no mention of the sources of water such as the headwaters
of the Jordan river, Sea of Galilee and the lakes above it that
were being used to irrigate Arab lands, which now, as a result
of water shortage, were turning into desert. See page 131 of
Cockburn Dangerous Liaison, 1991. (Of course not to
mention the erasing of 418 Palestinian villages and uprooting
of 726,000 and enslaving the rest, as part of blooming the
desert.) Also noted is Israel's systematic uprooting of tens of
thousands of Palestinian trees, 50,000 since the beginning of
the Oslo "Peace Process" alone (See
article
by Gideon Levy and an
11/28/2000
by Michael Browning and Larry Kaplow,
(American-Statesman 11/28/2000)
- "Israel's purity of Arms" not
counting the cluster, phosphoric, and implosion bombs used in
Lebanon against civilians and the resultant 20,000 deaths, 85
percent of which were civilians, killing of prisoners of war by
Israel, countless devastations and massacres, and killing and
maiming during the Intifada of over 70,000 Palestinians many of
whom children under 14. See an interview in Al-Hamishmar of
Israel's Chief of Staff Gur where he bluntly admitt how Israel
customarily bombs civilians, cited in Edward Said's
intorduction to the Question of Palestine,
1979
- "[Poor] Israel is haunted by
terrorism", without really alluding to the reasons for
that, such as provoking, dispossessing, killing, harassing,
uprooting, and torturing the Palestinians.
- "Israel our [US] valued
ally", but avoiding such sensitive issues as Pollard, USS
Liberty, Israeli espionage, Israel Lobby's neck-hold on such
US-ME policies as blocking Billions of Dollars of airplane
deals to Saudi Arabia and competing with U.S. defense
industries.
- "The Palestinians still refuse to
truly recognize Israel", as if an elephant, Israel, really
cares if an ant, the Palestinians, recognizes its existence.
Just in the same manner that the US would not really care if,
say Micronisia, recognizes its existence.
- "The Peace Process" is a
"land-for-peace" Deal, but never mind the astronomical
growth of 50 percent of settler population on the occupied
Palestinian West Bank just since Oslo, or the thousands of
Palestinian homes demolished on Palestinian lands since Oslo to
build settler-exclusive highways and others.
- In 1948 The Palestinians were asked by Arab governments to leave in order to comback after an anticipated victory. Israeli historian Benny Morris dispelled this myth a decade ago. But the reason for the departure of the Palestinians is irrelevant here, since according to the Internationl Declaration of Human Rights they have a right to return. (See Benny Morris' The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1989, and Edward Said's The Question of Palestine, 1979)
Of the many manifestations of Israel's/Jewish media power is:
Infitely many movies dehumanizing Palestinians and Arabs as mere terrorists who are in constant lust for blood and lack for a legitimate cause ("True Lies" and "Executive Decision").
Infinitely many movies nourishing the many negative stereotypes about Arab culture in general ("Best Defense" and "Father of the Bride II").
Infinitely many movies, books, documentaries, shows, etc, collecting charity of public opinion for, and allegiance to the suffering of the Jews ("Shindler's List" and "Diaries of Anne Franks"), while obscuring the massacres of others throughout the ages, such as the Ukranians by Stalin or the Armenians by the Turks, but mainly, the atrocities against today's Palestinians at the hands of "holocaust" "survivors".
Almost all U.S. TV announcers and other public figures will not forget to juxtapose "Happy Chanukah" next to the customary "Merry Christmas", a gesture only granted to Judaism among the many religions whose followers in the U.S. number more than Jews.
Such biases and deceptions are aimed at molding a more human image of Israel and inhumane one of the Arabs and the Palestinians in the U.S. and hence creating and maintaining a more ignorant public, whose tax money and ignorance are necessary to maintain the US support of every atrocity Israel commits.
Israel
Knows the Power of the Media
Knowing the power of the media, Israel
selects its officials based on their knowledge of American manners
and culture, i.e., have the ability to: play on the right emotion,
maneuver skillfully to avoid sensitive issues, focus on irrelevant
but catchy buzz-words, hence deceiving the American public who
pays the bill, as explained by Israel Shahak (Washington Report
11/1996). This was the case of Benjamin Netanyahu who was
"discovered" in July 1982 by Moshe Arens (then foreign minister)
who needed somebody with American manners to "explain" the
invasion of Lebanon to congress. When the issue concerns the
Palestinians, Israel bases its actions not necessarily on morals,
(rarely so in fact), but on the optimal way to avoid media
attention. Here are two such illustrations by prime ministers
Netanyahu and Rabin. The Rabin example also illustrates the
difference in style, but with the similar outcome (as far as the
Palestinians are concerned), between Labor and
Likud:
Netanyahu:
While campaigning for the prime ministership, he criticized
his Labor party opponents for missing an opportunity during
the Tiannamen Square massacre. "Had he been prime minister,
he said, he would have seized the chance then, while the
world was watching China, to carry out the transfer of the
Palestinians."
Barak:
Blaming Netanyahu for opening the tunnel in 1996 which
caused riots and the killing of about 70 people, mostly
Palestinians. Barak said that Netanyahu did it the wrong
way. Instead of opening the tunnel directly, he should have
first announced some new housing for Palestinians, to
distract the media, THEN open the tunnel. Rabin:
"For all its faults, Labor has done
more and remains capable of doing more in the future [in
expanding Jewish settlements] than Likud with all of its doing.
We have never talked about Jerusalem. We have just made a 'fait
accompli.' It was we who built the suburbs in [the annexed part
of] Jerusalem. The Americans didn't say a word, because we built
these suburbs cleverly." |

Arab vs. Israel: Belligerent Rhetoric vs Belligerent Action |
By Rosemary and Herman
Ruether in their book "The Wrath of Jonah"
(1989):
"Efforts of Arabs to communicate with the west have been hampered by deep anti-Arab racism in Western culture.. as well as by differences of culture that make the Arabs very inept at organizing mass communication for the Western mass democratic culture. Precisely in this area of mass communication to the western world, however, the Jews have excelled. Vehement Arab anti-Zionist (sometimes anti-Jewish) rhetoric has been exploited by world zionism to convince Jews and Christians that Arabs are irrationally violent, in contrast to Israeli "reasonableness". While Arab leaders tend to be militant in rhetoric, but conservative and often indecisive in practice, Israeli leaders are usually carefully moderate in public rhetoric but decisively opportunistic in diplomatic and military action. "It is ironic that most American Jews, who are strongly committed to the view of the secular and pluralistic state in the U.S., support an ethnically and religiously exclusive Jewish state in Israel." |

Hebrew (i.e. Israeli) Press |
Careful comparison between the Israeli press (such as Ha'aretz, Ma'ariv, and Yediot Aharonot but not the oriented-towards-American Jerusalem Post) and the American (NY Times, Washington Post, U.S. News, CNN, .... etc) shows that the former is way more informative when it comes to Israel and the Middle East. While the American press and TV is dominated by pro-Israel apologists and others who either fear blacklisting (i.e. being branded anti-Semites), or blindly defend Israel, the Israeli press, on the other hand, is often more revealing and way more informative. The American press version of events is usually watered down, or put into some irrelevant context, leaving the average American ignorant or naive when it comes to the Middle East. Observe, for example, the treatment of the following issues by both the American versus Israeli press: Israel's nuclear weapons, terrorism by Israeli settlers, American Aid, Israel's monopoly of water resources in the area, settlement expansion, Palestinian human rights ... etc
