n. He's been about as well respected as George Galloway or Alex Jones for decades, due to his enthusiastic cheering on of Milosovic, Asaad & Putin, among others. Interesting that you chose not to address this at all, simply attacking me & what you presume to know I feel
The above isn’t an ‘attack’ it is just pointing out what numerous people have already pointed out re some of you contributions to the thread …or did you forgot a few days ago you basically accused me of being a terrorist and anti-Semitic? But that’s not really an issue tbh.Any time anyone posts any links to what might be considered a Palestinian point of view you have a hissy fit and accuse them of bias or, as per most of your contributions on this thread, accuse them of being anti-semitic or supporting terrorism - or simply troll their answers with laughter emojis.
As for Pilger - he was was indeed well respected by many for his views on Palestine regardless of his later work. That was the point of posting his interview- it provides a perspective we don’t normally give air to in the West because of inherent cultural bias.
If you are suggesting that what is contained in the linked interviews/blogs are not accurate descriptions of the situation in Gaza then of course that’s fair enough - but when videos include film of a disabled person being tipped out of their wheelchair by an IDF soldier and Palestinians being systematically abused and humiliated, it is hard to see how that is ‘fake’ - but please provide alternative sources to refute them, I agree with things needing to be fact checked - it is simply not enough however, to say just because some sources are obviously pro-Palestine in their perspective that they are invalid or false. That indeed would be a biased approach.
An impartial approach considers truth from all perspectives that’s all - something journalists used to be good at before becoming mouthpieces for power and government.
