Always imperialistic cultures will do this. Egypt and the Israelites, British and The Zulus, Native AMerican Indians, Current occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, England and Russia with Afghanistan, and the list goes on.

If the American media would actually do its job and report BOTH sides of the conflicts in the Middle East, perhaps there would be a significant shift in public opinion? The mainstream media's one-sided portrayal of the Palestinians could very easily be described as slanderous and even racist. I still remember the first time that I saw the horrors from their point of view for once on 'Free Speech TV'. I saw the Israeli bulldozers mowing down homes and pushing further and further in to Palestinian territory with no regard for human life along the way. I saw the way that they would shoot indiscriminately at demonstrators, journalists and even children. I saw them poisoning people’s water supplies. I was shocked. Up until that point I thought that the Jews were merely innocent victims of unprovoked rage. That's when I first completely realized that our media has been molding our worldview and stringing us along like dogs on a leash. To this day it continues to teach many Americans to hate foreigners, especially Fox News. It’s on screen jingoism. It’s hate inspiring propaganda disguised as journalism. Most Americans are irrationally fearful to the point of stupidity. They're also too lazy to interfere with the matrix and challenge the controlled environment that they reside in. Others have become so brainwashed that they can no longer recognize the bars of the mental prison that has been built around them. Imagine living within a self-imposed psychological cage and not having the wits about you to even attempt an escape. That's the true mark of a pathetic and meaningless existence.

The US Media is run by a bunch of dual citizens who are more loyal to Israel and the Military-Industrial Complex than to the people of the USA.
The citizens of the US are in a psychological cage, quite the same in ways as the Palestinians. Militarized cultures in both Israel and the US have turned 90% of the public into zombies, and this is how they are getting away with it.
