One respondent sees that there has been a slight change
in the AMM position over the past 20 years. Prior to 1948,
he says, the AMM gave only the Zionist side. After 1948
and 1956 there were a very few publications which attempted
to deal with the rights of the Palestinians. Since 1967 there
has been an increasing number of publications which have
been critical of Israel. But the heavy weight. is still on the
side of the Zionists, who have a massive and well-organized
propaganda program.
Conclusion
The above figures and statements show that the respon-
dents perceive the AMM as strongly pro-Israel and at the
same time almost completely anti-Arab. It also shows that as
far as the Palestine problem is concerned the AMM seems
to be quite biased and greatly influenced by the Zionist posi-
tion.
We can conclude from the detailed descriptions stated
above that the AMM uses certain techniques to support
the Zionist case. Five such techniques which could be used
at different occasions are:
(1) The AMM presents the facts but gives them a Zionist
interpretation. This is a very effective technique since
in most events the interpretation and rationalization
of the event means much more than the event itself.
