Here are the top ten reasons Israel’s Likud Party would
have wanted to censor American television news on this occasion (and of
course we don’t know all the occasions they have successfully done so):

1. The report told Americans that there are
Palestinian Christians. Right wing Israelis have attempted to displace,
expropriate and erase the Palestinian nation, and to convince Americans
that Palestinians don’t exist or if they do are enemies of the U.S. When
the foe of the US was the Soviet Union, they made the Palestinians
Communists. When the foe became al-Qaeda, they made the Palestinians
violent fundamentalists. But if some percentage of Palestinians is
Christians, then that fact disrupts the propaganda. In fact, millions of
Palestinians are descended from the 700,000 or so Palestinians
ethnically cleansed by the Israelis from what is now Israel in 1948, of
whom about 10 percent were Christian.
2. The report mentioned that some Palestinians are Lutherans,
Catholics and Episcopalians, establishing a link of commonality between
them and Americans. The Israeli Likud Party wants Americans identifying
only with Israelis, not with Palestinians.
3. The report told Americans that Israel is occupying and colonizing
Palestinian land. Most Americans think it is the other way around
because of the success of Likud disinformation.4. The report let it slip that Palestinians in the West Bank need a
permit to travel to Arab East Jerusalem and are subjected within the
West Bank to humiliating check points that turn a 7 mile journey into an
all-day ordeal. This system sounds an awful lot like the old South
African Apartheid.
5. The report allowed Palestinians to speak for themselves and to
refute Oren’s anti-Palestinian talking points. It is a key principle of
right wing Israeli propaganda that Palestinians should never be allowed
to challenge the Israeli narrative on American television.
6. The report allowed a prominent Palestinian businessman and Coca
Cola distributor to say that he knew of no Palestinian Christians who
were leaving the West Bank and Jerusalem because of Muslims but that
rather they were leaving because of Israeli oppression.
7. It allowed the Palestinians to point out that the West Bank now
looks like Swiss cheese, with Israeli colonies grabbing the good land
and water, and the stateless Palestinians pushed into the holes.
8. The report described the Palestinian Kairos Document,
calling for nonviolent, peaceful struggle by Palestinians against
Israeli Occupation and land grabs. Likud propaganda insists in racist
fashion that all Palestinians are inherently angry and violent and that
their protest against being made stateless and homeless by Israel is
irrational.
9. The report quotes an Israeli scholar who puts “Political Judaism”
on par with “Political Islam.” It is a key principle of Likud propaganda
that no movement in Israel may ever be compared to movements in the
Muslim world.
10. The report allows Palestinians to point out that the way the
Israelis built the Separation Wall isolated Bethlehem, Jesus’s
birthplace and a city that still is 18% Christian, had made it “an
open-air prison.”
