CBS 60 Minutes exposes Israel’s settlers: The first cracks in the wall of Israeli propaganda?
This is a must-watch video segment from CBS’s 60 Minutes, for anyone who cares about the Palestinian issue (or even Israel). This is a great piece of brave American reporting by Bob Simon. Watch it now.

it is a brilliant video.. but ‘first’ cracks i think not.. even with their media blackout on Gaza the world saw the largest demos for palestine to date.

Funny, i was going to write u an email about it!! i watch the program every week, i think its the most decent objective one out there! lets not forget the aftermath of its Episode about exposing the deadly secrets in the Tobacco business back in 1996, $246 billion was paid as settlements..

Normally I feel 60 minutes is straight forward with minimal bias. But I must admit, this piece was far from either.
Unfortunately, I am too busy to go over all the nuances and details of the show to expose how Bob unveiled his biases but what I will say is this: Watch the show again, this time from a different perspective. Try to imagine yourself as an objective viewer with no opinion whatsoever.
After doing this exercise you will be able to pick up on his use of language and selective reporting that inevitabely led me to believe this segment was bias.
I am neither Jew nor Muslim.
Good Luck

It is a shame that CBS would sponsor such nonsense and I personally could not listen to distorted media nonsense. I’m told that the word aparteid was used to describe Israel. Well CBS, are
Saudi Arabia or Kuwait open societies? If you are not muslim you do not have any rights or are not allowed in the country! How would any country of the world tolerate a neighbor dropping rockets on their towns. “Turn The OTHER Cheek” I think not.
CBS get of the Pot! read and report history accurately and stop JEW hating!

[...] Israelis all recognize that Arab villages have historically received less funding than Jewish areas and this has affected the quality of Arab schools, infrastructure and social services. Arabs are also underrepresented in higher education and most industries.
