Panel I of The 2015 Palestine Center Annual Conference
In Panel I “Covering Palestine: U.S. Media, the Israel Lobby, and Public Opinion,” Ali Abunimah, Philip Weiss, and Said Arikat discuss how the U.S. media chooses to cover events dealing with Palestine and the Palestinians and the extent of the influence of particular interests, such as the Israel lobby, on this coverage. They also consider how the grassroots landscape, including voices of activist Americans, Palestinians, Palestinian Americans, Jewish Americans, and others, is transforming public opinion.
