Exactly, George. I hope people aren't foolish enough to fall for this racist framing.

Yes Diana I hope you are right, but the gullibility of humanity would seem to suggest many will…

How do you think we create a cultural landscape that makes the lies so obvious that no one can believe them any longer, George? I think that's our task ahead.

George: I will be sharing this far and wide - Australia and overseas. You remind me of myself (on a far more limited stage and decades ago - teaching a unit on newspapers and how things are framed - nuance or slanted propaganda... The Australia forfeited the right to any genuine journalistic respect once it had the likes of Greg Sheridan, Gerard Henderson, Miranda Devine and others of similar ideological bent as their various editors/by-line writers. It is now just an ugly rag!

Excellent article again George. The “Israelian” at it again. Surprise, surprise. I don’t read it, as I’ve said on other posts of yours and haven’t read The Age on this. The West Australian would doubtless echo The Australian/Israelian. (Last day of holidays so I’ve been a bit slack).

I’m surprised that the U.S didn’t point their FASCIST FINGER AT IRAN. A good scapegoat. Giving the U.S a reason to attack Iran.

The Zionist controlled media is working 24/7. Yes, the tone of the coverage of these events is just like the tone of the War On Terror rhetoric just after 911.

We need to start calling these mercenary groups, mercenary groups. That takes all the religious ideology out of it. Constantly remind people that the alphabet "Islamist" groups are just common criminals. That's what they are.
