In response to No apologies over fabricated terror plot from pollies or lobby groups

Why are we surprised about reporting on the caravan fiasco?

One would have thought, or expected, exactly what we got – that our mainstream media would report exactly as it did upon discovery of “that” caravan in Dural. It’s a bit hard to break the habit of a century. When did anyone last read a positive article about any Arab, Middle-Eastern or otherwise, Muslim or otherwise, in the MSM?

We still get scant reporting on how bad it is for the oppressed of Palestine. What P&I reader has learned more about the genocide in Palestine from the MSM than from P&I itself, Bisan on Instagram, Al Jazeera and the like? Very few, I’d wager.

The pro-Israel lobby and Holocaust industry have it sewn up. Israel good. Palestine bad. Any and all criticism of Israel is antisemitism. Politicians bought. History turned on its head. There is a loooong way to go for justice and peace.
