Produktbeschreibung
¿In the face of all of the trash that continues to pass for news and analysis of the Palestine-Israel conflict, Shupak deserves immense praise for working to set the record straight.¿ ¿Middle East Eye The Wrong Story lays bare the flaws in the way large media organizations present the Palestine¿Israel issue. It points out major fallacies in the fundamental conceptions that underpin their coverage, namely that Palestinians and Israelis are both victims to comparable extents and are equally responsible for the failure to find a solution; that the problem is ¿extremists,¿ often religiously-motivated ones, who need to be sidelined in favour of ¿moderates¿; and that Israel¿s uses of force are typically justifiable acts of self-defense. Weaving together the existing literature with new insights, Shupak offers an up-to-date and tightly focused guide that exposes the distorted way these issues are presented and why each is misguided.
