The Palestinian viewpoint is rarely heard in the mainstream media and when it is, like on “The O’Reilly Factor” or “Hardball,” it is interrupted and cut off. Palestinians have been demonized and have become virtually synonymous with terrorist. They simply lust for the blood of innocents. There is little or no rational discourse. Context and background are reduced to formulaic constructions. That they have been living under the longest military occupation in modern times is not even mentioned. The great Uruguayan writer and journalist Eduardo Galeano says, “Palestinians have been damned to play the scapegoat for European anti-Semitism and to pay with their land and blood for the holocaust they did not commit.”
