I found this image online while doing research for the next
paper. I have been very interested in different forms of propaganda in the Middle
East, and a lot of what i’ve found depicts the abuse of Palestine. In the picture
that I have linked it’s the United States and Israel calling the man from Palestine
an anti-Semite. This piece is pretty powerful, because it shows the U.S. taking
the side of Israel when the states are saying they want a two state system.
Every image i’ve seen about this issue has been extremely anti Palestinian. I
don’t see why. You can even say this image is anti Israel and U.S. in the sense
that they are the abusers in this situation, and the Palestinian man is being
abused. You could make the argument that the U.S. doesn’t know what to do about
the situation, and isn’t really helping by getting involved. It’s just like the
analogy that was used in class; this is a conflict between two grandparents and
the grandson is trying to break it up and has no idea how to do it. In an ideal
world it would be nice to see this conflict get resolved especially with the
recent World Bank restraints on Palestine. With the sheer might of Israel over
Palestine I don’t see this conflict getting resolved any time soon.
