“Australian media needs to reach a point whereby the reality of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories can be reported accurately and honestly, without fear of intimidation from the Israel Lobby.” Opinion | cjwerleman
When I published a report several months ago into the physical and sexual abuse of Palestinian children in Israeli military detention facilities, Dov Hikind, a former New York Assemblyman and self-described “staunch supporter of Israel,” publiclyThis is a mere and minor snapshot of the territory journalists and editors tread, and the baseless but vicious smear attacks they encounter, whenever they cast a critical eye over Israel’s conduct in the occupied Palestinian territories.
He contends editors view even mildly critical stories of Israel to be “more trouble than it’s worth," which not only robs the Australian public of objective information about Israel and its occupation of the Palestinian territories, but also denies them the ability to “evaluate or question Australia’s voting for Israel at the United Nations, no matter the issue, or if Australia’s continued support of Israel’s 54-year occupation meets our values and interests.
Khalik, who had been on the receiving end of a smear campaign coordinated by the Israel Lobby for months leading up to this encounter with her sub-editor, resigned shortly thereafter. Lyons says Khalik and many others have been deliberately targeted in a very strategic way, with colleagues confiding in him “over and over again” how fearful they are of being falsely branded “anti-Semitic.”
