Lethal Journalism and the Oslo Debacle:

Hi Shira!

On May 31st, you'll be able to get answers to all your burning questions:

What REALLY Happened at Deir Yassin?

Why is the Media so anti-Israel?

Can the whole world be wrong?

Why is the UN so blatantly anti-Israel?

It is all our fault?

Do you ever wonder what exactly does the media have against Israel? Our fledgling nation is negatively depicted across the world, and in some cases demonized worse than regimes involved in unspeakable crimes against humanity. What exactly is happening?

Our Panelists have the answer, and the answers to any more questions you may have.

On April 9, 1948, forces of the Etzel and Lehi Jewish underground military organizations attacked the Arab village of Deir Yassin west of Jerusalem. The nature of this attack became one of the most controversial issues in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Professor Eliezer Tauber’s serious and in-depth research sheds light on this event, as we discover what really happened at Deir Yassin. This work will have a major impact on how we understand Israeli and Palestinian history.

This book is a primer on how the United States and the United Nations are supporting armed conflict with Israel through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA). UNRWA (founded in 1949) is a UN agency established specifically to provide direct relief and work programs for Palestinian refugees. It was a response to the plight of hundreds of thousands of Arabs who left their villages during Israel’s war of independence in 1948.

In his important new book, Professor Richard Landes documents how a radical inability of Westerners to understand the medieval mentality that drives Global Jihad, prompted a series of misguided reactions that have shaped these early years of the 21st Century. As the world comes closer to the second quarter of this century and the political arena has become more polarized and distrust in the media has become more pervasive.
