More media misrepresentation

Have a look at the page from the online version of today's Sydney Morning Herald. Can you see the leaning of each of these headlines and leads? Yes, you could call it clickbait, but it is biased clickbait. It baits just those who want to minimise the unprecedented outbreak of blatant antisemitism in Australia or those who take an anti-Israel stance in its war against Hamas.

Given the only way to fight such racial hate is to call it out wherever it occurs, the SMH is failing its duty to report accurately without fear or favour.

 

Calling out Australian Arab antisemitism Apologists

Like many countries, Australia has experienced an unprecedented rise in anti-Semitism following Hamas' terrorist attack on Israeli civilians. An extreme form of this anti-Semitism has been in full view following a video between an Israeli influencer and two Muslim nurses working at a Sydney Hospital.

See the video here 

It was a very confronting video of blatant hate speech. It was widely reported and action has been taken. The nurses have lost their jobs and police are investigating. Charges are expected.

Given this flagrant hate speech, one would have expected the Muslim community to condemn the two perpetrators, and commit to expose these people as being unrepresentative of all peace-loving Muslims. 

But no! Some fifty Muslim community leaders published a letter not to distance themselves but to accuse the Israeli of incitement and accuse the Australian community of overreaction! Mind-boggling.

Fortunately, I don't have to put my own reaction to this into writing, it would hardly be printable, because Ben Harvey has done a pretty good job.  He has spoken for most Australians who are affronted by the reaction of these so-called Arab leaders. 

See Ben Harvey's words here

We cannot continue to accept the antisemites or their apologists. Muslim organisations must speak up against hate speech especially when it comes from their own communities. Australians will not accept any group that speaks up against hate speech when it affects them directly but fails to apply the same standards when the offenders are their own.
 

Calling out the anti-Israel lies 

In this recent YouTube video, Ben Shapiro exposes 4 fundamental myths about Israel. Together these myths are used to justify moral relativism excusing the most obscene atrocities by Hamas and other Islamist groups. Especially in today's outbreak of rampant anti-Semitism, it is increasingly crucial to expose the lies and to educate those who are victims of their ignorance in their support of the Jihadists. There are however many who only use these myths as a "trap for fools".

Spoiler alert, here are the four myths; -

Myth 1: Israel is historically Muslim

Myth 2:Israel is the cause of the failure of the division of land following the British mandate

Myth 3:Israel expelled all the Arabs from British Mandate Palestine

Myth 4:Israel is an apartheid state

Now listen to the true history, in this short video.  If you have doubsa bout this history, just read a few history books.

Defending the West

I have been a keen follower of Konstantin Kisin, as an articulate perceptive commentator on our problematic culture.  He presents his arguments with such simple logic and clarity that one cannot help but agree. His most recent essay is part of "The Best of Our Inheritance: Restoring Our Foundations" a collection of essays on the foundations of our civilisation, published by the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC). It is well worth a view.

New World fights for the Old World

Europe, the mother of Western civilization, the culture that has driven global freedom and prosperity for hundreds of years, is failing. It has lost its self-confidence and seems to be constantly distancing itself from the very principles that were the source of its success. This has happened slowly over the past two decades, then suddenly and unexpectedly over the most recent 5 years. The foundations of Western civilisation, respect for the law, free speech, equality under the law, and free enterprise are all being debased. It has been happening throughout the Western World most noticeably in Western Europe. Many countries no longer enforce laws, they censor free speech and limit the free enterprise that has brought prosperity.  Socialist governments and weak Conservative governments have failed to stop the decline. We are at a precipice with reasonable fears that the very freedoms and prosperity the world enjoys will not only be eroded but replaced by a dystopian lawless world. Crime at all levels has been increasing, especially terrorism and rape. 

But there is hope. In multiple European countries, real conservative parties are gaining popularity, and slowing the rot. France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and Italy all have growing conservative parties And of course, there is Trump.  He perhaps more than any has stood up for the values of the Western World. He has not only shaken up the political culture in the US but he is having an impact in Europe. Most recently JD Vance, Trump's VP addressed the 61st Munich Security Conference and delivered some home truths.  Not welcome truths but certainly truths.

Here is the full speech, well worth the 20 minutes.

Thank you JD! 

Another study exposes risks of COVID vaccines

While the mainstream media has consistently ignored it, many studies have shown risks associated with the COVID mRNA vaccines. It is astonishing that our health professionals ignore these warnings and continue to advocate CVID vaccine boosters. I have voiced this often enough, so won't hapr on it again, but I will continue to post linkst ot he studies, for those who are interested.

The most recent study was reported in TrialSite News at "Massive 2.3M Real-World Evidence Study Uncovers Troubling Link Between mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines and Thyroid Dysfunction"

Trialsite's abstract reads ; - 

"A major new study led by Kai-Lun Cheng, Hsiang-Lin Lee, both with Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan, and James Cheng-Chung Wei, Shanxi Bethune Hospital, Shanxi Academy of Medical Sciences, Third Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Tongji Shanxi Hospital, Taiyuan, China, and colleagues raises urgent questions about the long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccines on thyroid health. Using the TriNetX federated data platform, which aggregates real-world electronic medical records, the researchers analyzed a staggering 2,333,496 patients—half vaccinated, half unvaccinated—through a retrospective cohort study spanning two years. They hypothesize that COVID-19 vaccination may influence the incidence of thyroid dysfunction, including subacute thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism."
