How U.S. News Media Manufactured ‘Antisemitism on Campuses’

It never fails to amaze me how this ignores anti-Zionist Jews.

And the fact that the bulk of zionists are Christian Zionists who only support Israel so that it will create a massive war to bring about the Second Coming. That really needs to be mentioned when someone spouts this non-sense.

Coexist?

Rolla Selbak is a Sundance alumna, and a writer/director of film and TV, with TV projects most recently in development at 20th Century Fox and Sony. She imprints her fresh point of view as a Palestinian American, having moved to the U.S after the first Gulf War, and often focuses on socially topical issues that unite audiences. Her recent pilot, CHOKE, was a winner of The Black List (Muslim List). Based on her award winning short film of the same name, it tells the story of a Syrian refugee of who dreams of becoming an MMA champion. Other notable credits include co-producing the Sundance 2017 short film AMERICAN PARADISE, which served as the predecessor for the Sundance feature film LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO, and helming the internationally acclaimed feature film THREE VEILS, a first of its kind to confront homosexuality within the Muslim-American subculture.

Jenan Matari on Media accountability in reporting about Palestine.

This has to get out there. These are her words (with a bit of editing).

Jenan Matari made this speech on 16 October 2023 and it's still relevant. Nearly 7 months later and this is still as relevant as ever because nothing has changed within the media other than more discrimination and the firing of Arab and Muslim journalists from their positions and the continued vilification of people demanding liberation and justice for the indigenous.


After giving this speech at the New Jersey Palestinian American Community Centre press conference in early October, a reporter from CBS came up to her and said, “you know, you really vilified the media over there with that you said,” to which she responded with, “I’m glad my message was received as intended,” and she walked away.

The media must be held accountable. They have manufactured consent for violence against Palestinians all over the world.

We’re watching it happen again heavily as we watch their awful coverage of the peaceful encampments on college campuses across the country. They are criminalizing students, and manufacturing consent for police and state violence against our students.

They must be held accountable.
