Breaking the last taboo: Gaza and the threat of world war : Comments

By John Pilger, published 12/9/2014

The attack on Gaza was an attack on all of us. The siege of Gaza is a siege of all of us. The denial of justice to Palestinians is a symptom of much of humanity under siege.

Arjay: The lack of support for John Pilger just shows how stupid and ignorant most Australians are.

No. It just shows how smart Australians are. Pilger gets paid to stir up controversy. Most Australians can see through him. Some, who aren't very bright, go along with every thing he has to say, no matter how idiotic. Even if he said Pink was Green, some people would argue he was right.

Pilger is so biased no-one with more than a few brain cells could miss it, and he's so blatant he robs himself of any real chance of getting his message across, he's a self-caricature who fails to amuse.
He's basically become a class-clown who plays at Devil's Advocate, but he's about as subtle as a roo on the roof.
Noisy, annoying, dropping distasteful "pellets of wisdom" everywhere, and HOW t f did it get up there anyway?

Hi Arjay

It being childrens hour you better avert your eyes as Justin Bieber pulls out his "bottle" and verbally flogs John Pilger within an inch of his suntan http://youtu.be/bE9TrbevqiY

This video is in no way meant to trivialise the crimes perpetrated against the Chelsea Mannings of trannieland. We love John, he is a shining example of what a journalist should be and a great great man (in his own mind).

As for the Bieber, well...whatever.

Pete

Let's ask the 43 reservist soldiers of Unit 8200 who sent Netenyahu a letter, in it they, "have condemned alleged "abuses" of Palestinians in the occupied territories."

“Only when the truth is out there can any of us be free”.

Absolutely true indeed. But in the usual sad impotent force the Pilgers of the world have only offered – their truth is always in a mud pit of ignored, deleted and manufactured facts and histories.

I often use this same advice when attempting to explain to the average Arab/Muslim or just ignorant westerner like Pilger about how to make sense of these endemic conflicts.
I mean when a pro-Pilgerite yells about the Arab oppression by Jews and white westerners and the apparent one-sided aggression and sinner [Israel & west], I like to remind them that the two sides can in essence be judged and understood by looking closely to the little people and both sides and their daily actions and thoughts and intentions.
For instance in Israel or any western nation where millions of Arabs and Muslims live in diasporas in each nation, the average health and education access and basic safety is in ALL cases much much higher than the average of same for regular Muslims in ANY and ALL Arab/Muslim nations in the world.
Similarly the displaced Jews in was with Arabs since 1960s have been largely recompensated and repatriated by Israel on their own dollar whereas the displaced Arabs/Palestinians of same conflicts were never given anything by any Arab/Muslim nation and in fact to this very day these same refugees have lived in camps on the borders of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt etc. in tents for over 40 years now as they are NOT allowed to work or live or become citixens of any of those brotherly Arab nations that openly espouse to care and fight for them, they do not even give any money or food to the camps which is left to the usual responsibilities of the western devil nations.

So yes, the average little people of Palestine etc. will never be able to be free whilst these truths are denied.

Dr Roberts was the ex-assistant secretary to the US Treasury during the Reagan era.
