Video: Icon of Hatred. How the MSM Helped the Global Jihad

You have to watch this video (in two parts) to understand just how the MSM helped the global jihad by being complicit in Palestinian propaganda about the death of Muhammad al Durah. The accidental death of the young boy has made him a martyr icon for the cause against 'Zionist oppression' and those that support Israel (namely, the U.S.).

Videos below.

Icon of Hatred is the third in a series about Palliwood.

Pallywood
Al Durah: The Making of an Icon

Icon of Hatred explores

1) how PA TV took the footage of what was, at most, an Israeli error, most likely a work of Pallywood, and turned it into an accusation of cold-blooded murder, a proof of Israeli intentions to commit genocide.

2) how this “blood martyr” became the icon not only of the “Al Aqsa Intifada,” but of global Jihad, catapulting Jihadism from the margins to the center of Muslim “street,” making suicide bombing the weapon of choice.

3) how Al Durah became the symbol of outraged compassion in the West, fueling an anti-Zionist crusade that aligned the “human rights” and “anti-war” left with the most murderous theocrats on the globe. And how, in embracing the Muslim equation of Israel with Nazis, European intellectuals have encouraged the surge of Islamist triumphalism not only in the Middle East, but within their own countries.
