"This most recent assault on freedom of expression does not seem to bother the Western countries that fund the Palestinian Authority. The crackdown on Palestinian journalists in the West Bank is also fine as long as Israel is not involved.

In another story the Western media apparently refuses to cover, any Palestinian who dares to criticize Hamas or the Palestinian Authority risks being arrested or summoned for interrogation.
Palestinian journalists are now hoping to bring this to the attention of President Barack Obama when he meets with President Mahmoud Abbas next month.

The journalists say they want United States and the rest of the world to know that the crackdown on freedom of expression in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip is designed to hide the fact that Palestinians are governed by two repressive regimes that have no respect for human rights and democracy.

Over the past few weeks, several Palestinian journalists have been arrested in the West Bank and Gaza Strip for reportedly criticizing the policies and leaders of the Palestinian Authority and Hamas.
But this most recent assault on freedom of expression does not seem to bother the Western countries that fund the Palestinian Authority or Hamas supporters from all around the world.

As far as many Western governments and journalists are concerned, physical assaults on Palestinian reporters in the Gaza Strip are fine as long as they are not perpetrated by Israel.

The Palestinian Authority crackdown on Palestinian journalists in the West Bank is also fine as long as Israel is not involved.
Most of the assaults against journalists took place in the Gaza Strip, where Hamas continues to display zero tolerance towards critics or anyone who dares to say something "controversial."

In the past few weeks, at least 16 journalists from the Gaza Strip were arrested or summoned for interrogation by Hamas authorities in the context of a campaign aimed at intimidating the local media."

HAHAHAHAHA

SF

Me anti semetic?

The Palestinians are Semetic people. I support them. Are you a halfwit or just bloody stupid.

Your foolishness is obviously limitless.

Singer continually refers to Palestinians as Arabs and generalises them as terrorists.

That SF is an example racism. Now I expect an apology and to see you criticise Singers simpleton racism.

The words I quoted are the words of the scriptures of the Judean religion of the Hebrews. I find them stupid in the extreme and I have never seen Singer or any other propagandists reject them.

To my knowledge there has only been one relatively modern rejection of those scriptures. The Hebrew priests, the same priests who had custody of these teachings of the Hebrew religion, had the bloke who rejected them, crucified ... you dimwit. (No this is not abusive Graham, this fool has accused me of being anti semetic when I am obviously not. I think religion, any religion containing mysognism should be ridiculed.) His name was Christ and western liberal democracies are founded in his teachings. We are not mired in the rot of these ancient Hebrew teachings which are promogulated in the Israeli Jewish 'constitution'.

Oh the same scriptures tell us the Jews have legitimate title to all the land between the Euriprates and The Nile. Ditto my rejection comments also apply to that stupidity.

Seems Singer has called up the reinforcement.

Sadly they are not even as capable as Singer.

Really SF, we've heard it all before. None of us believes the Israeli propaganda. lol.

Do you even live in Australia?

SF. hmmm... Touched a nerve there I think. :)). Really, I am at quite a loss for word, I think you may have said them for me so, I will say nothing. Cheers.

imajulianutter. I don’t know if you are just an idiot or ignorant. No matter which, you are a vile excuse for a human being and an antisemite.

Never mind telling me you are not antisemitic, I think I am in a better position to be the judge of that. Here my friend you have just posted another fine example. As has your friend Marilyn Shepherd who has posted elsewhere, who you’ve referenced above.

‘Antisemitism’ was coined in 1873 by the German journalist Wilhelm Marr. The word "Semitismus" indicated either opposition to the Jews as a people, or else opposition to Jewishness or the Jewish spirit, which he saw as infiltrating German culture.

In 1880, Marr developed his ideas further and coined the related German word Antisemitismus – antisemitism, derived from the word "Semitismus".

That word has been in common usage since and in no way reflects on Semitic peoples.

Never mind what is to your knowledge or not, as far as the Jewish religion is concerned, you haven't a clue. Getting your information from antisemitic web sites does you no credit.

As far as people called Palestinian are concerned, there are no such people. I hate to burst your bubble and you can research anywhere for that information.

In 1964 the Soviets developed the word when they created the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the PLO. The term "Palestinian People" as a descriptive of Arabs in Palestine appeared for the first time in the preamble of the 1964 PLO Charter, drafted in Moscow.

On June 4th 1967 Arabs started to call themselves Palestinians. Check out the Mandate and UN Resolutions. They all call for an Arab State alongside a Jewish one. Not a Palestinian State alongside a Jewish one.

I doubt Singer refers to all Arabs as terrorists. The way you twist the truth you are a pathetic joke..

As for ‘racism’ you have rocks for brains. You cannot be racist against people who are not a race.

Fast forward to 1.32 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3-GBsGmE54

I suggest you read this sound and accurate article.

In 1977, a PLO leader, Zahir Muhsein, head of the as-Sa’iqa Organization revealed the truth in an interview to the Dutch newspaper Trouw. Here are his words:

“The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the State of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism for tactical reasons. Jordan, a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa. As a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.”

In 1974, the late Syrian President, Hafez al-Assad,declared, “It would be fitting for us to mention to the responsible Israeli authorities that we view Palestine not just as an inseparable part of the Arab nation, but also as a part of southern Syria.” In 1987 he reiterated this at a conference in Amman by saying, “A country named ‘Palestine’ has never existed.” Jordan’s King Hussein responded, “The appearance of the national Palestinian persona serves as a response to Israel’s claim that Palestine is Jewish.”

The prize goes to Yasir Arafat who, in 1970 with candid simplicity, told the reporter Arianna Palazzi, “The question of borders doesn’t interest us… From the Arab standpoint, we mustn’t talk about borders. Palestine is nothing but a drop in an enormous ocean. Our nation is the Arabic nation that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea and beyond it… The PLO is fighting Israel in the name of Pan-Arabism. What you call ‘Jordan’ is nothing more than Palestine.”
