>All around the world we are subjected to 3 or 4
>huge news distributors,
>and one of them - as you well know - is CNN. Very
>well, I guess all of
>you have been seeing (just as I've been) images
>from this company. In
>particular, one set of images called my attencion:
>the Palestinians
>celebrating the bombing, out on the streets,
>eating some cake and making
>funny faces for the camera.
>
>Well, THOSE IMAGES WERE SHOT BACK IN
>1991!!! Those are images of
>Palestinians celebrating the invasion of Kuwait!
>It's simply
>unacceptable that a super-power of
>cumminications as CNN uses images
>which do not correspond to the reality in talking
>about so serious an
>issue.
>
>A teacher of mine, here in Brazil, has videotapes
>recorded in 1991, with
>the very same images; he's been sending emails
>to CNN, Globo (the major
>TV network in Brazil) and newspapers,
>denouncing what I myself classify
>as a crime against the public opinion. If anyone of
>you has access to
>this kind of files, serch for it. In the meanwhile, I'll
>try to 'put my
>hands' on a copy of this tape.
>
>But now, think for a moment about the impact of
>such images. Your people
>is hurt, emotionally fragile, and this kind
>broadcast have very high
>possibility of causing waves of anger and rage
>against Palestinians.
>It's simply irresponsible to show images such as
>those.
>
>Finally, I'd like to say that we all regret and
>condemn all that has
>happened in the last days; but Nikos has a point
>here. I really don't
>want to be misunderstood here, but the truth is
>that US government had
>shown no respect for other countries in the last
>decades. In the 60s and
>70s they had halped lots of military coups
>throughout the world
>(including Brazil in 64). Later, with Reagan and
>Bush Father, the
>Washington Consensus have been demolishing
>the bases of our economies,
>making us more and more dependant (and, many
>of us, prehocupied with
>this situation).
>
>Your current president quickly made things worse:
>Kioto Protocol, Star
>Wars, Colombia Plan, the exchange of rain forest
>for pieces of external
>debt, tha abandonment of the position of third
>party in negotiations
>between IRA and England, and between
>Palestinians and Israel. All those
>mistakes in US external politics made your
>country more hatred than
>before, and, of course, more vulnerable.
>
>Listen, I'm NOT justifying the terrorist actions that
>took place in your
>country; but it seems to me that, if your leaders
>had come along another
>path of thoughts and actions, you wouldn't be
>suffering what you are
>now.

>Best regards, and the hope that everything is

>This video footage IS STIRRING UP HATRED - I
>live in relatively peaceful northern California and
>young people, even the teenage kids,are
>commenting on how horrible the Palestinians are
>to dance at the destruction. If this is true then the
>news should leak out to as many places as you
>can find. Propaganda needs to be exposed for
>what it is before our damned "leadership" decides
>to use bombs again,as they do ad nauseum.
>Please confirm this fact and send out something
>that we can use as anti-propaganda. It is so hard
>to get the truth here. Thank you for alerting us.
