Wow. That's kinda what I came out saying. Amazing information from an independant journalist not paid by any major new co who is also not American. And who lives in the middle east. I wish I'd recorded it all or even took more notes. I will say I look at the middle east, esp. the Isreali/Palistinian conflict with clearer eyes. I always doubted the lines we were fed by media in America and I was right to. Journalists in America employed by major bureaus are part of the propaganda machine. I mean duh, knew that already but just how much is sad.
As Mr Fisk said, the peace "process" is a line fed to the people in the west to make us feel like something is being done. When in fact it's all a charade. There will never be peace in the middle east while they give us and other countries leverage.
I could go on and on. But I'm not going to at this moment. But it makes me like and trust main stream media even less than before. And one of the best things is that I feel like I know more about the situation but I know I actually know less.
