misinformation and bias in the critique, and unfortunate statements such as,

"(Weir) exploits Palestinian suffering for purposes of demonizing Israel." This has got to be somewhat peculiar. How do you talk about the suffering of Blacks in the pre1964 south without demonizing Jim Crow segregation. Would it have been more appropriate to demonize Zionism? And the point about original Palestine including TransJordan. I will always recall Sharon saying, Jordan is Palestine, when the Jordanians themselves do not consider Palestinians Jordanians. But Arabs are Arabs, and as Frank Luntz recommended to Israel propagandists, talk about Arabs not Palestinians.

Anyone who believes this critique as truth is also selling a point of view, but I will read it more carefully later.

There have also been critiques of Peace, Propaganda, and The Promised Land, but it has not stopped more than 750,000 viewings to date. You might also want to see Interview: Jeff Halper, founder of Israel COmmittee Against Home Demolition. I noticed another point made, that Israel only demolished the houses of suicide bombers. Well, since there have been 11,000 house demolitions since 1967, there must have been quite a few bombings that we never heard of.
