News bytes

- Pro-Zionist propagandist (is there any other type?) Ted Lapkin argues for curbs on free speech during times of war. His blind faith in government is touching.

- The New Statesman tackles Israel.

- How ethical is the UK Guardian newspaper?

- The US had no plan to rebuild Iraq, according to the top government watchdog overseeing the country’s reconstruction.

- It’s time for Bush to “repair” his second term. Let’s not focus on a pesky issue such as Iraq.

    Look, I’m a pretty free-speech kinda Shab, but…instead of just snarking at Lapkin, could we hear how you would deal with the sort of material he quotes?

    Don’t you think that this is part of the reason why, as you say, Australia’s Muslims are “under ever-increasing scrutiny”?

    You’re so transparent. The subtext for all you Likudniks is: come on West, can’t you see how backward they are, and violent, and sexist, and, and, and NOT LIKE US, so come on, blow them to smithereens for us will you? We’ll just be hiding behind your skirts as always. You can have the oil, we want the land.

    The jackboot was once on another foot and we can never forget that can we, even though none of us turned the gas on and wouldn’t dream of doing so even if we had the chance.

    I’d hate to think of the sort of fate you’d have for your millennial enemies given your head.

    Likudnik? Get a grip, Glenn. I’m not even Jewish.

    You don’t need to be to believe the propaganda….

    Pro-Zionist propagandist (is there any other type?)

    All propagandists are pro-Zionist?
