John Pilger: "Palestine is Still the Issue"

Why Has This Documentary, Never Been Broadcast On U.S. Media ? Twenty-five years ago, I made a film called Palestine Is Still The Issue. It was about a nation of people - the Palestinians - forced off their land and later subjected to a military occupation by Israel. An occupation condemned by the United Nations and almost every country in the world, including Britain. But Israel is backed by a very powerful friend, the United States. So in 25 years, if we're to speak of the great injustice here, nothing has changed. What has changed is that the Palestinians have fought back. Stateless and humiliated for so long, they've risen up against Israel's huge military machine, although they themselves have no arm, no tanks, no American planes and gun ships or missiles. Some have committed desperate acts of terror, like suicide bombing. But for Palestinians, the overriding, routine terror, day after day, has been the ruthless control of almost every aspect of their lives, as if they live in an open prison. This film is about the Palestinians and a group of courageous Israelis united in the oldest human struggle - to be free.

on side has rocks and sticks. the other side has guns, tanks, planes, bombs, and nukes. according to the "holy bible" the army with rocks won the battle...i unterstand that usa is a good friend of israel but look at all the bad bush made our soldiers do. carma will first hit the israelites(israel) then the usa which believes israelites are "gods chosen people" will fall also. the muslim countrys along with russia and china will soon uphold the righteous banner "after i strike my match off obama, operation cobra control the globe slowly its over"
