Yes e-wo. But it's all about the cumulative effect of the media and the effect it has on people. When all ur talking about is how the Arab world is full of anti-semites which Israel has to watch out for, and no-one is listening to how Israel is embarkin on a zionist plan to wipe out the palestinian people and take over huge tracts of land by military means - then u're putting a veyr distorted view and heating false paranoia.

If Fahrenheit is anything like Bowling for Columbine, which is certainly *not* journalism, I think it's entirely appropriate that Disney doesn't distribute such propaganda.
I very much respect the liberal perspective, but only when it's substantiated properly. I think Moore is a good filmmaker, and I'd like to see him grow a little more.

This is the part of the argument where both parties try and nail down each others viewpoints and get them to commit to a viewpoint they can refute effectively.

Moore's has probably received the best promotion boost for his film [even better than being chosen for the Cannes Festival].

Michael Moore is so desperate for Bush to win again, he cannot rip on Kerry as much for shit's sake. Other than that he can go eat a ton of donuts for all I care. :)

"Israel is embarkin on a zionist plan to wipe out the palestinian people and take over huge tracts of land by military means"
Maybe a few of them. have you visited Israel? have you talked to those people about what they believe? I have, and what you just said does not reflect their greater opinions.

Israel doesn't look like much of a bully when you look at the conflict on a global scale

About BFC, jevad, I agree with Moore's perspective. But he didn't substantiate. He didn't show any of the other side of the coin. Obstructed plenty of info.

you can call me a twat but to me it feels like conservative media need less substantiation or founding than non-conservative media. somehow they have to be more right than others. or else everyone thinks they are bullshit while they almost accept anything from the conservative media / main stream media.

morality is not an issue of scale. Using the term 'Muslim world' in relation to this situation is disingenuous. Saying Israel doesn't look like a bully is weak in the extreme.
