The West Australian is misreporting again
Q: When does an allegation become a fact?Â
A:Â When it is a headline in the West Australian
On page 34 of todays West Australian there is a headline “Terrorist Chief killed by Israel”. Had the headline said “Hizbollah claim Terrorist Chief killed by Israel” it may have been more accurate.Â
Nowhere in this report does it balance out the claim by noting that Israel has formally denied the accusation.Â
This demonisation of Israel is nicely supported by another article on page 46 about Israeli Chefs going on a spring roll strike to protest a reduction in visas issued to Asian chefs. The article says that “Israel attracts virtually no immigrants from Asia because anyone seeking citizenship must prove they have Jewish family or other links with the country”.  Actually about 20% of Israel’s population is not Jewish or has no Jewish identity. That does not mean that they cannot immigrate to Israel. Facts aside, what exactly is this article trying to imply? That Israel is a Jewish country for Jewish immigrants? What a shocking rascist concept that is!
Thanks for pointing this out. I haven’t seen it yet, but good to know before I hit the lunch room with everyone reading the West.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:21 amNot shocked though. A few weeks ago the West had an article which suggested that Israel falsely considered Iran a threat. So saying we shouldn’t exist and inciting genocide is not a threat now? Of course not – because it’s about Israel.
[...] in the killing of arch terrorist Imad Mugniyah, the headline Terrorist Chief killed by Israel appeared on page 34 of today’s West Australian [...]

By Caroline B. Glick
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | It is quite possible that terror master Imad Mughniyah was not killed Tuesday night in Damascus for his past crimes, but to prevent him from carrying out additional attacks in the future.
On January 30, French security services raided a Paris apartment and arrested six Arab men. Three of the men — two Lebanese and one Syrian — were travelling on diplomatic passports. According to the Italian Libero newspaper, the six were members of a Hizbullah cell. Seized documents included tourist maps of Paris, London, Madrid, Berlin and Rome marked up with red highlighter to indicate routes, addresses, parking lots and “truck stopping points.”The maps pointed to several routes to Vatican back entrances.
Libero’s report explained that the “truck stopping points” aligned with information the French had received the week before from Beirut. There, Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah convened a conference of his senior terror leaders where he ordered them to activate Hizbullah cells throughout Europe to kidnap senior European leaders.
