"Two occupations" was nicely put.

- 4% of network news mentions the term occupation.
- Lacking context. Ex: kids throwing stones vs Israeli solders (2:35)
- Arabs presented only as terrorists, no coverage of the society.
- Palestinian vs Israeli victims coverage. (5:30)

Also good discussion about the "Arab racism" in media angle (6:10) discussing dictatorships and propaganda between nations.

People only see what the media tells them to see, they unfortunately aren't very good at looking for details on their own, and in a sense who can blame them, they're trying to live their own lives.

The actual documentary is also pretty much available here, showing in detail and with clear examples what the first link summarized:

Some Israeli soldiers with a conscience speak up:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8149464.stm

"Breaking the Silence, a campaign group made up of Israeli soldiers, gathered anonymous accounts from 26 soldiers..."

"Another says: "People were not instructed to shoot at everyone they see, but they were told that from a certain distance when they approach a house, no matter who it is - even an old woman - take them down..."

"Civilians were used as human shields, entering buildings ahead of soldiers..."

"Soldiers fired at water tanks because they were bored, at a time of severe water shortages for Gazans..."

One would hope this would some day put the feet of some higher-ups to the fire, or at least lead to a better human rights record or accountability in the future.
