> I'd like to add some ideas from here, down south.
>=20
> There's an important point in the power of press,
> specifically the power of CNN.
>=20
> All around the world we are subjected to 3 or 4
> huge news distributors,
> and one of them - as you well know - is CNN. Very
> well, I guess all of
> you have been seeing (just as I've been) images
> from this company. In
> particular, one set of images called my attencion:
> the Palestinians
> celebrating the bombing, out on the streets,
> eating some cake and making
> funny faces for the camera.
>=20
> Well, THOSE IMAGES WERE SHOT BACK IN
> 1991!!! Those are images of
> Palestinians celebrating the invasion of Kuwait!
> It's simply
> unacceptable that a super-power of
> cumminications as CNN uses images
> which do not correspond to the reality in talking
> about so serious an
> issue.
>=20
> A teacher of mine, here in Brazil, has videotapes
> recorded in 1991, with
> the very same images; he's been sending emails
> to CNN, Globo (the major
> TV network in Brazil) and newspapers,
> denouncing what I myself classify
> as a crime against the public opinion. If anyone of
> you has access to
> this kind of files, serch for it. In the meanwhile, I'll
> try to 'put my
> hands' on a copy of this tape.
>=20
> But now, think for a moment about the impact of
> such images. Your people
> is hurt, emotionally fragile, and this kind
> broadcast have very high
> possibility of causing waves of anger and rage
> against Palestinians.
> It's simply irresponsible to show images such as
> those.
>=20
> Finally, I'd like to say that we all regret and
> condemn all that has
> happened in the last days; but Nikos has a point
> here. I really don't
> want to be misunderstood here, but the truth is
> that US government had
> shown no respect for other countries in the last
> decades. In the 60s and
> 70s they had halped lots of military coups
> throughout the world
> (including Brazil in 64). Later, with Reagan and
> Bush Father, the
> Washington Consensus have been demolishing
> the bases of our economies,
> making us more and more dependant (and, many
> of us, prehocupied with
> this situation).
>=20
> Your current president quickly made things worse:
> Kioto Protocol, Star
> Wars, Colombia Plan, the exchange of rain forest
> for pieces of external
> debt, tha abandonment of the position of third
> party in negotiations
> between IRA and England, and between
> Palestinians and Israel. All those
> mistakes in US external politics made your
> country more hatred than
> before, and, of course, more vulnerable.
>=20
> Listen, I'm NOT justifying the terrorist actions that
> took place in your
> country; but it seems to me that, if your leaders
> had come along another
> path of thoughts and actions, you wouldn't be
> suffering what you are
> now.
>=20
> Best regards, and the hope that everything is
> resolved for the best of
> all of us

> This video footage IS STIRRING UP HATRED - I
> live in relatively peaceful northern California and
> young people, even the teenage kids,are
> commenting on how horrible the Palestinians are
> to dance at the destruction. If this is true then the
> news should leak out to as many places as you
> can find. Propaganda needs to be exposed for
> what it is before our damned "leadership" decides
> to use bombs again,as they do ad nauseum.
> Please confirm this fact and send out something
> that we can use as anti-propaganda. It is so hard
> to get the truth here. Thank you for alerting us.

> I'm watching BBC World on my cable system in

> that has been broadcast on CNN and other US
> network sources. Since the video has been the

>=20
> This either validates the video as being authentic
> to recent events or invalidates some of the
> neutrality that has been assigning to the BBC
> elsewhere in related indymedia articles

>=20
> Don't get me wrong, thoughts of the American film

> head to the way that the US media can and are
> manipulating the public and are being
> manipulated by the US government. But this one
