who says the corporate media desn't cover demonstrations?

kon4m | 07.05.2002 19:50

'the guardian' gives big coverage to demonstration! oh wait it's the zionists...

check it out: zionist demo becomes 'peace demo'!  http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,2763,710973,00.html

if this isn't enough to convince people that they are daily brainwashed by the media I don't know what is! ok '30.000 march to demand peace' apparently... so where does the 'peace' come in? maybe when Netanyahu compares Arafat to Hitler (if we dare to compare Sharon to Hitler, a more apt comparison, we are publicly crucified!) or maybe when he calls 'not to go around Arafat' but to 'go over Arafat', always cheered by the crowd... wow they really seem ready to sit down at a table and discuss 'peace'! interesting how they're always talking about the Palestinians that want to 'destroy Israel' (the Arab states had already accepted its existence back in the 50's!) while it seems to me like the opposite: after all back in the day Ben Gurion had made it very clear that Israel's final aim has always been complete control of the 'holy land', and what does ' to go over Arafat' mean if not a final blow the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian population to finally get them out of Israel's way once and for all? and what's the comparison about Israelis and Londoners all about?! I don't recall the Nazis being a population living under English military rule and resisting a slow genocide by any means they have!! how can people buy this bollocks? No comment about the space dedicated to the 'counter-march', with only one quote taken out of context about the Israeli State being 'the terrorist', which makes sense only if you develop the argument otherwise you come out a crazy extremist, which is exactly how they want to paint the opposition. oh and thanks for mentioning the 'tens of thousands' of Muslims who marched a month ago, more like at least 50.000 if I'm not wrong, and still I don't remember us getting half a page in the paper! I could go on but I'm too pissed off... it's just obscene how biased the media is. if anyone found a reference to 'peace' or at least understanding (except maybe the bishop of Oxford.. booed by the crowd!) and not just hate in that article please let me know. the truth about the middle East conflict is out there for who is ready to listen... but certainly not in the corporate media. check out the Palestine solidarity campaign website at  http://www.palestinecampaign.org/ or the Electronic Intifada at  http://electronicIntifada.net/new.html for a start.

In Solidarity,

Why are all these Israel bashers, silent on the Iraqi genocide against the Kurds. Why are you silent on the mass killing of the Black Christians in South Sudan by the Arabs in North Sudan. You are frauds, who are you just anti U.S and Israel.

Oh Iraq...

Saddam is as blood thirsty a monster as Sharon, the US armed him to the teeth to fight against Iran, another case of friend turning to foe like mr. bin laden

Nothing is what it seems

It was US chemical weapons that killed the Kurds, used by Iran not Iraq and Kuwait was Iraqi territory until the British annexed it for oil. George Bush encouraged Saddam to invade Kuwait, who were side-drilling into Iraqi oil-fields, before the Americans set them ablaze, causing all the health hazzards in the region, including depleted uranium deformities.

Corporate Lies


eh??

>the Americans set them ablaze, causing all the health >hazzards in the region, including depleted uranium >deformities.

Setting the oil fields ablaze didn't cause depleted uranium deformities. Depleted Uranium caused depleted uranium deformities.

And who says we're silent against arabs killing kurds?
I'm certainly not. arabs killing kurds is just as bad as israelis killing arabs.

tony really loves the iraqi people

It's getting worrying when even the BBC does a report on DU in southern Iraq and the government still does sod all

It was a few weeks ago but the report basically said - the govt used DU without knowing the effects and an Iraqi doctor said - everyone's getting cancer/leaukemia and we can't do much brcause of UK/USA embargo

But I guess we'll be throwing more DU around in the next conflict because Tony, such a caring man, really wants to help the Iraqi people gain their own truly democratic government
