I guess I like this video because I agree with its point of view. I wish there was a video that described the Iraq situation as clearly.
The video:

The section on 'media filters' is particularly revealing, especially in its relationship to how US media portrayed (or didn't portray) the realities of the Iraqi occupation.
There is, in fact, an illegal occupation that has been going on since the UN told Israel to get out of the occupied territories.
Only 4 percent of US news reports about West Bank and Gaza talk of the occupation. Israel is portrayed as active in 'self defense', not as illegal occupiers.
UN Resolution 181 calls for the evacuation of Palestine by 1 august 1948.
The Palestinians are angry.
Some have lost all hope.
Some have resorted to violent resistance because of the growing frustration of not getting anywhere.
And all the while the Palestinians suffer sanctions, lack of water, electricity, food, medicine, and the basic feeling of security which allows people to feel that life is worth living.
