Propaganda Roundup. Human Rights, Afghanistan, the Israel Debate and Canadian Oil
The Propagandist's Allies are resurgent, moving forward on all fronts. Here are the latest dispatches:
- What future for Afghan woman jailed for being raped? Afghanistan: where victims are jailed for "adultery by force" -- the force of their attackers, to be precise.
- Let's reframe the Israel debate. "The terms we use undermine Jewish rights to our ancestral homeland. ‘Settlements’ and ‘West Bank’ reinforce a sense that the land has always been Arab, and paint Israelis as colonialist imposters. Yet, until their ethnic cleansing in 1948, Jews had always lived beyond the Green line."
- Zero Tolerance to Prejudice. The rest is commentary. More shenanigans from the London School of Economics.
- Released Burma Dissident: We’re On a Leash. The junta's release of political prisoners should not be seen as a generous concession, but as a long-overdue and very incomplete restoration of some measure of justice.
- Shocker: Pakistan can't come up with a suspect in kidnapping and murder of journalist who criticized Pakistani intel agency. I'm so surprised over this.
- Mercedes-Benz uses mass murderer to sell cars. So what else is new?
- Christian Love. Not what is used to be. Or maybe this is what it has always been.
- Canada sells the oil sands to China. Then complains about ‘foreign interference’ Let's review what's really going on.
Confusion to our enemies!
