Tonight I watched the Australian Broadcasting Commission’s 7 pm news. It covered the release of 90 young Palestinian men by Israel. (0bviously trying for balance - they usually interview only Palestinian women). We were invited to sympathize with the complaints of one man about his treatment in an Israeli prison. “No washing machines or dryers! No washing powder! No clean clothes! And once a guard hit me with a belt”! Nothing whatsoever on the young women who had just been released, mocked by cheering Palestinians, after being kidnapped and -well, who knows. We were being invited to sympathize with terrorists because they had no clean clothes. Really, how much more gobsmacked can we be?

When the use of the word “terrorist” was banned by the Obama administration, and that terrorist shot up his co-workers, Obama insisted it be called “workplace violence” For years, the word, “militants” have been used to replace “terrorists”, another lie used nonstop.
