An-Nahar and its tricks

An-Nahar (the right-wing, sectarian Christian, racist anti-Syrian (people), anti-Palestinian (people) newspaper) has a known trick: it hires Sunni and Shi`ite writers and assigns them to write articles offensive to Sunnis and Shi`ites. It thinks that by having Muslim bylines, it can't be accused of sectarianism. This is common as a tactic in white supremacist publications in the US in the 20th century (or in Fox News) when they hire black writers to spew racist articles against black people. Wait: you will recognize the tactic in Zionist publications; when they hire Arab writers to spew hate against Arabs and Islam. Read this lousy classist and sectarian article (and badly written) by this fellow. I am told that he graduated from the worst school of journalism in Lebanon today: NowHariri.

PS The new editor-in-chief of An-Nahar said that I attack An-Nahar because I am dying to write in it. Tell the genius that if I wanted to write in An-Nahar, I would not be attacking it regularly in English and Arabic. Basic common sense.
