Agreed.

Here’s something I just came across in her book:

Those Americans who are essentially unfamiliar with the history of the Palestinian population, and the destruction and devastation of their lives and society by the Israeli state, frequently accepted the definition
of Palestinians as terrorists because Palestinian organizations’ acts of political violence, particularly in the 1970s crystallized their image in the Western media. This worsened following 9/11 when the Israeli media emphasized the parallels between the attacks in America and the ongoing suicide attacks that were a part of the al-Aqsa Intifadha.

Gee, ya think handing out sweets and dancing in the streets of the WB & G had anything to do with our perceptions?
