Afrasianet - Written by: Ziad Shaliout - The least thing that can be said in the Israeli media is that it is biased and recruited to the point of disgust and disgust. The most disgusting type of Israeli media is what calls itself "leftist" or "liberal" media, because it is the most colorful, hypocritical and biased media, to the extent that the chameleon loses in its competition.
This media, which spends most of its time criticizing the government and its policies, and giving us sermons and lessons in democracy, we see it as the first conscripts to the side of the government, even if it is the most right-wing and extremist, defending it and justifying its crimes, as we witnessed in the military attacks it carried out in the Gaza Strip repeatedly, which included Destruction of buildings, burning of crops, killing of people without discrimination, and bombing of medical, educational, social and other institutions, all under the pretext of fighting “terrorism,” as well as in Israel’s wars against Lebanon, sometimes in the name of fighting Palestinian “terror,” and later on in confronting Hezbollah’s “terror” and each time under a different pretext.
Today, it is used to its ugly role in falsifying facts and distorting data in Russia's "military operation" in Ukraine, as it previously played the same role in the global war on Syria in a disgusting and dirty manner. The most prominent example of this is the newspaper "Haaretz", whose reports and news I was unable to read in the last issue, and when I browsed it, I found myself throwing it away in disgust and disgust.
If all these lies were issued by right-wing newspapers and official radio stations, they would not have angered all that anger. As for them being issued by a newspaper claiming “liberal” and believing in democracy,” but it adopts only one point of view and does not leave space for a different position and takes a blatantly biased position, it is intolerable.
It is intolerable, for it is miserable for such a media outlet, to blindly go behind the misleading Western media and behind colonial regimes that carried out the most heinous crimes against humanity, especially the United States of America.
In it, it must affirm its distinguished role, abandon that and go along with the trumpets of the reactionary, recruited, and biased media with the forces of evil in the world. After its inability in the face of military operations, the West takes revenge on Russian civilization The Russian “military operation” in Ukraine revealed to us daily the ugly and dirty face of the West, which we have come to know and we have come to know through many tribulations and hardships.
But this face shows its ugliness, its hatred and its hatred for everything that is human in this world in the recent period, as this West, which claims and brags about humanity, democracy and other values that are abstracted from it, comes out to practice its ugliness.
The values are about fighting literature and art in all its forms and types, not to mention sports, under the pretext of confronting the Russian aggression against Ukraine.
The hideous measures taken by the West reflect the extent of its hatred, envy and sense of inferiority in front of the civilization, heritage, literature and arts of the East. We do not forget how reckless the West and its inferior view of China was, at the opening of the Olympic Games years ago in Beijing, so the organization, presentation and high technology came to deal a blow to the arrogant and arrogant West. Nor can we forget the extent of the West’s disdain for our Arab people - with more regret - from states and emirates, especially in the Gulf, and the daily insults that former US President Trump used to direct daily to those sheikhdoms and those who stand at their head, with contempt and disdain.
And the Wild West tried to play the same game with the Russians, and it underestimated the serenity and meekness of the Russian "bear", which showed and shows them today how strong, tyrannical and steadfast it is.
What does it mean for countries and institutions of the Western world, lamenting over "human rights", bearing the banner of "democracy" and defending "culture and arts", to fight sports, arts, literature and civilization coming from Russia? How can an Italian university not be ashamed of banning lectures on Russian literature in general and the great writer Dostoevsky in particular, because he is of Russian origin?
How does an American opera house justify banning singing performances because the lead singer is Russian and refuses to insult her country's president, and the opera house resorts to dismissing the Russian singer and replacing her with a Ukrainian singer?
How can a German institution be proud of dismissing a great Russian musician and maestro and suspending him from his work, for the same previous reason?
And what justification does the management of a Dutch museum give by closing an exhibition of the great Russian Hermitage?
Well did the General Union of Palestinian Writers - Carmel 48, when it raised its voice alone in a statement in this regard, in which he said: "This "brutal" attack on literature and art - in addition to the attack on sports and athletes - by the "democratic" and "enlightened" West. "As he claims, it reveals his hateful, racist, condescending and arrogant face, and his narrow-mindedness and interests that have nothing to do with human values.
From here, we condemn this campaign and see in it dark measures that take us back to the prohibitionist mentalities of the Middle Ages, which are carried out by the ideas police in universities and institutions Those which, as Palestinian writers, have tasted both of them, and ignited their fire, in the curricula of Israeli schools and universities, and we strongly condemn and reject them.” (Shefa'amr - Galilee)
