These individuals have become quite adept at trying to squash any opposition, with an open international media as a hammer. There is removing statements or writing (books, articles, etc.) out of context – re-definition – vilification through false identification – shifting emphasis – straw man – lies – Non Sequitur – meaningless questions – equivocation – Euphemism – ad hominem – error of fact – changing the subject – ambiguous assertions – failure to state – use of outdated information – least plausible hypothesis – argument by scenario – moving the aim of the argument – appeal to complexity and common sense – reductio ad absurdum – pious fraud – argument by generalization- casual reductionism, etc. AND they are all in swing with these reprobates, every fallacious argument you can think of is used.

Philip and Adam,
I’d really like to see more coverage of The Push for War with Iran. While you are discussing worthwhile topics, The Lobby and all the fish in the school are swimming and slanting the news in one direction. You should be covering your people’s Party Line: “If the sanctions are not tough enough, Israel will be forced to attack Iran”. This crock of war-monger shit is being spread all over the MSM, as you guys discuss smaller issues.

I’d also like to see more emphasis on how the Jew-inspired War on Islamic Terror has sucked up major amounts of the US budget that could have been used to improve the health-care system and pull the country out of recession. A lot of your people calling for the crucifixion of Iran are sitting in the Promised Land of Palm Springs (or wherever) just trying to stay afloat in their pools filled with milk and honey, as the rest of the country sucks wind.

The National Post is known as the “flagship” of Zionist lobby in Canada. The newspaper is most nptorious in Muslim-bashing and is always full of crap on Islamic regime in Tehran.

Had the idiot compared Naomi with Mrs. Magda Goebbels – it would have made some historic similarity – because Magda too had Jewish roots. Naomi Klein is a fair-headed writer. However, I have no respect for her father-in-law, Stephen Lewis, who is a ‘Islamophobe’ and along with his David Lewis was quite active in supporting Baifra rebellion against Nigeria’s Muslim majority.

this is just more efforts to distract from what Naomi and the rest are pointing at. The effort to rebrand Israel and celebrating Israel at a film festival that should be attempting to be neutral not promoting a certain city, country, agenda etc. The focus should be on the fellow who allowed this to happen not Naomi

Now Naomi is experiencing what it has been like for anyone who challenges the policies of Israel or those who support those policies. Naomi Klein will rip up their weak arguments. She is brilliant, calm and full of a commitment to justice.

We are right behind you Naomi…

Hey Roger Ebert changed his mind about TIFF after we wrote to him. This would not have happened in the pre-Gaza world. Dan from this comments section helped me.

“I’m writing this the day after first posting this entry. I now regret it. The point I make about artists is perfectly valid but I realize I wasn’t prepared with enough facts about the events leading up to the Festival’s decision to showcase Tel Aviv in the City-to-City section. I thought of it as an innocent goodwill gesture, but now realize it was part of a deliberate plan to “re-brand” Israel in Toronto, as a pilot for a larger such program. The Festival should never have agreed to be used like this. It was naive for the plan’s supporters to believe it would have the effect they hoped for. The original entry remains below. The first 50 or so comments were posted before these regrets.”

Propaganda is propaganda, spin is spin, as in Brand Israel-worthy of Bernays/Goebbels. Klein merely points this out. Response by likudesque Zionist morality? Same as response by Nazi morality. In terms of universal morality and ethics, Klein’s the least negligent.

Hillel has mainlined Nazi Goebbels himself and projected his own Zio-nazi nature onto Klein.

When Goebbels was 19 he was of proven high intelligence and looking for a way to pay for University as his parents were poor. Otherwise, the most significant aspect of him
at the time was his high scepticism of everything, especially religion. He was never a self-hating
German, a hater of his own people, the Germans, but of how people are led around
by the nose via the usual techniques for whatever political purpose. His claim to fame
rests on the fact that he turned black into white and by the power of his mouthy brand of hasbara (after flirting with communism a bit)
Germany arose as one Nazi power. Hillel Neuer’s hatchet job on Naomi Klein mirrors
exactly by its character assasination, cherry-picking, etc EXACTLY what he accuses
her of. He has turned white into black. Just as Goebbels learned from Bernays, Neuer
learned from Goebbels. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
