Praise for the Film
"I cannot recommend this documentary too highly. It should be required viewing for every student, for every taxpayer who is subsidizing the Israeli military machine, for every citizen in the United States."
- Robert McChesney | University of Illinois
"Painstakingly stripping away the myths and inaccuracies regularly passed off as truth by the U.S. media, this film not only reveals the motivations and methods of those responsible for skewing the picture, but also manages to present the most concise and accurate account of the history and implications of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and the role that the U.S. has played in the continuation of that conflict that I have seen... This is a very important piece of work that challenges the viewer to think twice before accepting a version of the world that owes more to the special interests of a powerful elite than to any notion of freedom of the press."
- Donna Baillie | Director, Women in Black and Secret Hebron: The School Run
"Extraordinarily powerful and courageous."
- Bo Smith | Boston Museum of Fine Arts
"The work is brilliant... touching the heart and stimulating the mind. The script, visuals, and editing are superb -- never have I been so moved by a single film."
- Jack G. Shaheen | Author, Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People
"...hands down one of the best films I've seen on American media and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict."
- Laila Al Qatami | American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee
"...enormously intelligent and effective...very well edited and presented."
- Paul Beckett | Palestine-Israel Peace and Justice Alliance
"...essential viewing for all who care about human rights, for all American taxpayers, and especially for journalists and editors."
- Mazin Quemsiyeh, M.D. | Al-Awda Right of Return Coalition
"A really clear presentation of the problems of media and Middle East conflict. A superlative film."
- Gila Svirsky | Coalition of Women for Just Peace, Israel
"Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land is the best, least biased presentation we have of all the issues involved. A must-see documentary."
- Chalmers Johnson | Author, Sorrows of Empire
"I'm just blown away by the sheer scope of it, the depth, the clear analysis."
- Amir Terkel | Filmmaker, Other Voices from Israel and Palestine
"While I have always understood that the war here is over words and images, as much as it is over land and bones there, the film really enlightened me about the complexity and profundity of this form of colonization of the mind...[it] will clearly be pivotal in this movement and a priceless educational tool."
- Cecilie Surasky | Jewish Voice for Peace
"Superbly done!"
- Ahmed Bouzid | Palestine Media Watch
