Media Folly. The tragic death of the young Israeli girl in Melbourne has reopened a journalistic problem I have with the Australian media. The girl and her father have both been referred to as Israeli Arabs. As opposed to what? Israeli Indians, Israeli Caucasians, Israeli Asians. Either they are Israelis or they are not. Unless my geographical and ethnicity history is flawed, the population of the region are all Arab (except for the imports). This reporting is as stupid as the very common Jews and Arabs rhetoric. Arabs are an ethnic race, Jews are adherents to the Jewish religion. Let’s try to keep apples with apples. Divisive reporting and media propaganda bring to mind Rwanda, The Baltic’s, Germany and all the other places where atrocities were committed because neighbors were told they were different.
Just my thoughts!
