COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN TRUTH NEWS
Guardian, NYT Paint
Power-Grabbing Saudi Dictator As Roguish, Visionary ‘Reformer’
The Guardian, under Editor-in-Chief Katharine Viner, has
become a key British voice for Israeli interests, a full working member of the
Israel lobby in Britain.
You cannot but come to this conclusion if you read it for
even a week.
For example, it conducted a long and multi-pronged attack
against Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party on the basis of
completely unsubstantiated charges of anti-Semitism.
The real reason working against him is of course his
reasonably balanced views on Israel and Palestine, a reason to hurt his chances
of coming to power at all costs. With a deluge of comments and complaints about
their McCarthyism against Corbyn, they backed off a bit, but still take regular
little opportunities.
Every so often, we see plainly ridiculous articles like a
Jewish person in Britain explaining why he or she is seeking to get the German
citizenship to which they are entitled. I recall three of these over some
months.
The Guardian regularly promotes, or tries to resurrect, Tony
Blair, the best servant Israel ever had at 10 Downing with his help in
destroying Iraq and receiving such rewards as the Israeli Peace Prize plus many
sinecures for his dirty work.
Blair’s concept of “New Labour” – threatened by Corbyn’s
leadership – actually at least in part amounted to a quiet pact with the Israel
lobby in return for their vigorous support, both in campaign funds and press
enthusiasm.
It all represents quite a turnaround from what the paper
once was, a stolid and somewhat dull voice for working people and the Labour Party
in Britain. Every issue of today’s Guardian includes material that can only be
described as pamphlet-style advocacy for sympathy and support of Israel. Some
dilute attempt is made to seem balanced, but it is in a ratio of maybe 1:10.
As for the New York Times, well, it wasn't that long ago
that the paper actually admitted that every story that it receives concerning
Israel or Israeli interests actually is sent to the official Israel Censor's Office
for approval before running in The Times. So much for impartiality.
Of course, readers always understood, without the additional
information, what a completely biased publication The Times is. Its flagship
columnist, Thomas Friedman, is an embarrassingly biased advocate for Israel, as
well as for the Pentagon too.
And the truth is simply that the new Saudi Crown Prince is
Israel’s man in Saudi Arabia.
