About Lesson

As you read the following, consider this quote from Said (2001): “It is by no means an exaggeration to say that the establishment of Israel as a state in 1948 occurred partly because the Zionists acquired control of most of the territory of Palestine, and partly because they had already won the political battle for Palestine in the international world in which ideas, representations, rhetoric, and images were at issue.” (emphasis added)

As you read, think about this question: What is the role of media in the colonization process and in resisting colonialism?
