'A Brave Move'

The Australian's editorialist is yet to greet an USraeli manoeuvre, or aggression, with anything less than hearty approval. The latest example, A realistic decision on Golan:

"Donald Trump's historic proclamation announcing US acceptance of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights has much to do with the tough fight Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces in next month's election. But the President's reversal of decades of US policy on the highly strategic Golan is timely recognition of Middle Eastern reality [...] Mr Trump will be criticised for what is a brave move. But the Syrian civil war has radically changed strategic challenges in the region. It is no longer realistic for the Jewish state to be expected to go back to pre-!967 borders." (27/3/19)

One of the enduring mysteries behind such seals of approval is who writes them. Greg Sheridan? AIJAC?

Give me a break! Check out how many times Israeli war planes have fired on Syria, take a look at the security buffer zone which Israel has increased inside of Syria. I could go on and on about Israeli 'transgressions' aimed at destroying Syria, not to mention the uninvited involvement of the US. This is just another blatant misrepresentation of the real facts on the ground by the Australian media. People, stop reading this malevolent drivel that masquerades as journalism.

There goes the UN Charter. Can't wait till Trump gives WA to the Indonesians, in return for exclusive rights to a chain of hotels.
