Well, when I put my fingers to my temples and like become one with my blue check what it tells me is that

The American media like has a really really substantial blind spot when it comes to Palestine a lot of it is rooted in

I think just like pretty basic like anti-Muslim anti-Arabigotry and like that's a sort of like kind of base explanation that you can give for a lot of why like

You know like footage of you know it explains why

MSNBC will show footage from the aftermath of a stabbing attack in Tel Aviv

But will not show the footage of you know like a far more routine occurrence

Which is an idea of soldier shooting a Palestinian dead and I think that like that explains some of it and then the other part of it though

There are probably some journalists who bought the Israel lobby's line and said like yeah like they were like you know

And they would look at a lot of the kinds of people that are talking and they would see the things that they say and they would say

That's really interesting. I kind of already knew that though and they don't take that as an indictment of the system in which they work

They take that as evidence of how banal the facts are in this movie and that couldn't be further from the truth

Because the thing is is that there isn't a recorded testimony of these kinds of things even if it's such a you know

widely felt sentiment there isn't the kind of frankness even if like you know this reporter or somebody imagines there to be I

Think that there is something like you know really important to be said for the fact that like this documentary

Does a lot to just put people in front of a camera in an environment in which they never get to speak before cameras

And so a kind of conversation that only ever really happens behind closed doors or at least in some very private rooms

It comes out into the open and
