Is Malaysia's media suffering from Israeli-phobia?
By The Anti Jihadist The online chronicle of The Star upon Monday, Jun 7th had the whopping total of nine articles related to Israel. This infuriating Malaysian obsession with Israel is next to measures bizarre as well as preposterous. Discussion of Israel as well as the policies is positively fitting upon any series of issues--occupied land, widely separated cities, refugees, the make use of of force, blockades, as well as so on. But the Malaysian supervision as well as their media mostly concentration roughly only upon Israel (and to the obtuse border the US as well). This is you do Malaysians the immeasurable harm by ignoring what alternative countries have been you do upon these very same issues customarily only compared with Israel. Occupied land? Turkey, the unite of the recent supposed 'humanitarian boatlift' to Gaza, has occupied half of the Greek island of Cyprus since the 1974 military invasion. In so doing, they have cleaved the collateral Nicosia in to two halves as well as have confirmed this division for over thirty years. Where is the Malaysian outrage over this transparent box of occupation as well as naked aggression? And then there's the occupation of Tibet by China for over 50 years as well as running. Or the occupation of tools of Georgia by Russia since 2008. Are Malaysians starting to organize vessel rises to Georgia or convoys to Tibet anytime soon? Will you even review about these alternative occupations in any arriving book of The Star? Don't hold your breath.
Disproportionate force? Lest anyone forget, in the past fifteen years, the Russians systematically intended the major city, Grozny, in the course of waging not the single but two wars. Imagine the volume of explosives indispensable to methodically dynamite the modern city - retard after retard demolished in to rubble as well as ruin. Was this the proper reply to the Muslim insurgency? Good fitness anticipating any contention of this impending question upon any Malaysian website, let alone any ! major Ma laysian newspapers or TV stations.
The murdering of Muslims? Consider the actuality which Chinese military as well as soldiers have in recent years killed hundreds, may be thousands of Uighurs - Muslims - in horse opera China. Many if not most of these people most expected are, or were, innocent civilians. The law may in actuality never be well known about these killings, as the Chinese supervision has imposed the near-total media blackout. Again, no outrage let alone contention of these unpardonable crimes can be found in the The Star or any alternative Malaysian publication.
How is it which you all know the name Rachel Corrie, but nothing of the names of any of the faceless Kurds who have been scythed down by decades of Turkish, Iraqi or Iranian repression in their query for their own homeland? Is the dream of the giveaway Kurdistan somehow less worthy than the query for the 'free Palestine'? Apparently so, if you take all the flattering attention which Malaysia's Prime Minister as well as his licensed media intemperate upon which issue.
I could go on, but the point remains. And which point is this - it is bizarre as well as more than the little frightening which so most Malaysians, strictly or otherwise, concentration so most attention upon the single republic for the series of issues which they utterly ignore in alternative countries.
