Dr Evan Jones discusses the way Australian media frequently channels an unashamedly pro-Israel worldview at the expense of other legitimate perspectives.
Yes, I know that “Fairfax” no longer exists as a corporate entity, but I will continue to treat Nine Entertainment’s Fairfax assets under their previous masthead.
The Sydney Morning Herald (‘Independent. Always’), on 14 February, offered us an interesting – to say the least – piece by Ahron Shapiro titled ‘The key to Middle East peace is getting Palestinians to say “yes”’.
In other words, the key to Middle East peace is getting Palestinians to say ‘yes’ to their own ongoing suffering and displacement.
Of course, that’s only the first step. Iraq was first dismantled and Libya destroyed (done). Iran, the “existential threat”, needs to be obliterated; Syria partitioned and gutted; Lebanon subordinated so its water and gas resources can be appropriated, Yemen was destroyed – also about resources – and so on I could go.
Israel’s alliance with the demonic Saudi Arabian state has proved a masterstroke for engendering further regional instability.
Some peace.

It’s good to see someone at the Sydney Morning Herald is prepared to accurately describe the situation in Palestine-Israel… can you find the 9-letter word? pic.twitter.com/9tQq6ttMyx
