Many non-Jews also help promote a distorted pro-Zionist and anti-Arab portrayal of the past and present on American television. This is especially true of the Christian fundamentalist “televangelists” - such as Oral Roberts, Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggert, Jim Bakker, and Jerry Falwell, - who have dominated America’s “religious” broadcasting. These passionate defenders of Israel and Zionism show no sympathy for the plight of fellow Christians under Zionist rule, but even castigate Christian and Muslim Palestinians for resisting Zionist oppression and the Jewish subjugation of their historic homeland. This is not only tragic, but ironic in light of the fact that Israel treats the Christians (and Muslims) under its rule essentially as second-class citizens.
The hostility and prejudice against Arabs and Muslims engendered by Hollywood and US television infects not only tens of millions of Americans, but also hundreds of millions of credulous viewers worldwide. Such noxious propaganda over a period of decades inevitably has grave long-term consequences. This flood of ethnic-religious poison under standably produces deep resentment among hundreds of millions of Arabs and Muslims around the globe - creating a vast and growing reservoir of resentment and rage that one day will almost certainly erupt with terrible fury.
