Western journalists upon meeting some Lebanese
It struck me last night. The body of articles on Lebanon by Zionist and right-wing Western journalists who have been invited and accommodated by the Hariri family (using a variety of names of various organizations that are funded by the family) is striking how they all sound the same. Not a single iota of dissent: they all see the situation in Lebanon in the same lense, which tells you why they were invited in the first place. Independent journalists would not have been invited and they would most certainly decline the invitation had they been invited by a family who has a large stake (along with Saudi Arabia) in the elections in Lebanon. The second point that struck me is that invariably those Zionist journalists are impressed by every one they meet. This stems from their racism: I mean yesterday the New Republic "journalist" who was one of the last recepient of this Hariri media junket even declared that the Hizbullah media director is "intelligent." Notice that it is the White Man who decides whether a native is intelligent or not. They have such low opinion of the natives that they are shocked when they encounter a native that they deem to be intelligent.
