"I could provide ... many examples showing that this regime killed its own citizens and innocent Jewish people during the last couple of decades.

The Guardian and Glenn Greenwald: The anti-imperialism of fools

“The Guardian’s most egregious moral blind spot – especially in light of the media group’s claim to represent anti-racist values – pertains to their editors’ licensing of commentators who possess an antipathy towards Jews and routinely advance tropes indistinguishable from what is normally associated with far-right Judeophobia.”
