Today Rupert Murdoch’s very serious broadsheet organ The Australian continues its brave reporting on, well knows anymore, the countless stories about Dr Jake Lynch at Sydney University. It’s beyond parody. Thankfully, Lynch is standing firm and he has received the full support of his Peace and Conflict Studies board. News story: Australia’s peak Jewish body…

What a spectacular own goal looks like; thank you Michael Danby for embracing Israeli occupation so cluelessly
Labor MP Michael Danby has a history of loving Israel as only a married man can. Today he unleashes his glorious literary skills in the Murdoch tabloids to denounce Foreign Minister Bob Carr for daring to have an independent thought over Israel: As NSW premier he [Bob Carr] awarded the Sydney Peace Prize to Palestinian…
Memo to Murdoch’s rag; academic BDS is about Zionist occupation not Judaism
I’m no longer surprised by the profound dishonesty in Rupert Murdoch’s Australian when it comes to discussing Israel and Palestine. Today’s editorial covers the ongoing saga (pushed by them alone, an obsessive little bunch they are) about Dr Jake Lynch at Sydney University. They clearly imply he’s anti-Semitic for daring to oppose connections with Israeli…
What you aren’t reading from voice of reason at Sydney University over Palestine
Another day and yet more selective exclusion by Murdoch’s Australian newspaper. Dr Jake Lynch, head of Peace and Conflict Studies at Sydney University, submitted the following letter to the paper… after days of irrational attack: Your reporting of the BDS issue is in danger of descending into absurdity. It is clear to any reasonable observer that…
When Murdoch’s clown rag gets desperate for stories over Palestine, throw in anti-Semitism slur
Clearly Rupert Murdoch’s Australian newspaper feels it hasn’t written enough foolish articles about the rampant anti-Semitism inside Sydney University’s Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies. Today another gem that feels like a hilarious mish-mash of separate ideas tied together with dodgy tape. If the “journalists” who write the stories, or the Liberal MPs who love…
Teaching Murdoch’s The Australian about ethics and morality over Palestine part 65322
This week Rupert Murdoch’s Australian newspaper has been running countless page one stories about Dr Jake Lynch, the head of Sydney University’s Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, for abiding by BDS and refusing to assist an Israeli academic associated with an Israeli university. Here’s the background. Today the obsession continues with heaps more coverage.…
Tale of principled Sydney University academic on Palestine and BDS
The following story appeared in Rupert Murdoch’s Australian newspaper yesterday on its front page: The Sydney University’s Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, which has thrown its support behind controversial Palestinian leaders, has cited its boycott of Israel for refusing to help an Israeli civics teacher who has designed programs for both Jewish and Arab…
“Secularism is certainly eroding traditional power”
Rupert Murdoch is an old white man who likes old white men on Fox News. Host Bill O’Reilly said on US election night that the “white establishment is now the minority“. Now he’s just talking about the far-left taking over America. Or something. Enjoy:
“The white establishment is now the minority”
Bill O’Reilly is clearly very sad about this fact on Fox News:
Another day and more shilling for Israeli electric car company Better Place
Here’s a classic example of how not to write business journalism stories. Pick a company, in this case Israeli firm Better Place, ignore any human rights questions that hang over the organisation (allegations of war crimes and complicity in the West Bank occupation, read here), and provide a glowing profile of the organisation’s head. Easy…
