‘Road to War in Gaza’ PBS spin. Too much an Israeli perspective?

I just finished watching the 85 minute Frontline documentary, “Netanyahu, America and the Road to War in Gaza.”

I can’t help but feeling while watching this riveting, disturbing contemporary history lesson, that the spin is too much the American/Israeli perspective.

Still, the documentary is something which deserves careful viewing. It is illuminating as a snapshot of history happening in the moment.

The history of the past 30 years in the volatile middle east, as interpreted by PBS in the documentary, provided me with a certain degree of historical context. As long as I kept reminding myself this is an American/Israeli perspective I maintained an open mind throughout the 85 minutes.

The interviews and the historical footage kept me glued to the screen.
