The voices that we will never hear in mainstream media!
Fascinating. A well-spoken, intelligent man speaks and holfd opinuins.
However, we wouldn’t hear that in the mainstream media.

v interesting account
“I wish all Arab media were like Al-Jazeera,” – Gideon Ezra, former deputy head of Israeli General Security Service, quoted in ‘Foreign Policy (FP)’, July/August 2006 issue.
Al-Jazeera is owned by Qatar’s ruling family, therefore, it’s an official propaganda organ against the “Axis of Resistance” – and most of its top management and leading broadcasters are Zionist Jews.

rehmat1 Thanks for the link to your excellent article.
Here in NZ, as elsewhere I imagine, the chattering classes (I include myself) graduate from ‘mainstream’ media to al Jazeera, which is seen as a reliable leftish-wing alternative, ignoring the fact that BBC stalwarts like Tim Sebastian find a home there. Which means that the Qatar version of events in Syria is swallowed without question.
