The Wrong Story lays bare the flaws in the way large media
organizations present the Palestine-Israel issue. It points out major
fallacies in the fundamental conceptions that underpin their
coverage, namely that Palestinians and Israelis are both victims to
comparable extents and are equally responsible for the failure to
find a solution; that the problem is "extremists", often
religiously-motivated ones, who need to be sidelined in favour of
"moderates"; and that Israel's uses of force are typically
justifiable acts of self-defense.
Weaving together the
existing literature with new insights, Shupak offers an up-to-date
and tightly focused guide that exposes the distorted way these issues
are presented and why each is misguided.
