BDS gets noticed by Murdoch press

This piece in the Wall Street Journal highlights a serious problem faced by Israel and its Diaspora supporters: Israel’s bungled attempt to stop the aid flotilla from reaching Gaza also highlights how an increasingly forceful strategy by Palestinians and their supporters to turn to boycotts, international isolation, and relatively nonviolent protests is confronting Israel with…

A few simple steps for Israel to win back friends (measured in decades)

Note yesterday’s editorial in Murdoch’s Australian broadsheet. Defensive, seemingly pained that the beloved Israel had acted so brazenly and less defiant as usual. Next step, backing a targeted boycott campaign (ok, I can dream): The Jewish state must reassure the world it wants peace In boarding vessels intent on breaking the Gaza blockade the Israeli…

Thank God Israel stopped those 700 terrorists

What is a man to do who simply loves Israel like a fine wine, an aged cheese, a voluptuous lady? Over to you, Murdoch man Andrew Bolt: Jihad was also the spirit on the Mavi Marmara as it sailed for Gaza. Those on board refused offers by Israel that they dock at an Israeli port…

An article of stunning ignorance and stupidity. Ideology run wild. Here’s Tom Gross in Canada’s National Post (a writer who regularly appears in the Murdoch press down under) with a piece headlined, “Fancy restaurants and Olympic-size pools: What the media won’t report about Gaza“: In recent days, the international media, particularly in Europe and the…

Murdoch gives space in Australia to defend Israeli terrorism

Just in case readers of Rupert Murdoch’s Australian broadsheet were unclear whether the Jewish state should be able to murder with impunity, the following two pieces appear today. One truly wonders how much more desperate these Zionists can become. Tel Aviv nukes Gaza and the apologists will be lining up to find excuses. How is…
