Sheridan's Broadside
Australian columnist Greg Sheridan wonders about the left's silent on Iranian repression. This particular snippet's tie-in with Israel blew me away:
Where are you on Iran, Louise Adler, happy to accuse Israel of war crimes without the slightest evidence, but apparently unstirred by the murder of hundreds of innocent civilians in Iran?
What have you got to say, Antony Loewenstein, stupidly and inaccurately labelling Israel an apartheid state and approvingly quoted in the Iranian official media, but listless on your blog in the face of the Iranian repression?
What about The Age's cartoonist Michael Leunig, who once drew a cartoon so morally obtuse, stupid and offensive that it was happily accepted by an Iranian newspaper in a competition for cartoons that would offend Jews (the cartoon was submitted without Leunig's knowledge), but who is apparently unmoved to draw an image in sympathy with young Iranian democrats?
Read the whole thing.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Sheridan's Broadside:
Far more important than the somewhat inaccurate article by a pro-Israel columnist, who rightly attacks hypocrisy on the left (as pointed out by some of the people responding to it, there have been some public protests by left-wing groups against the murderous repression in Iran, though not all that many)is the following information about the mendacious Israel-hater Louise Adler.
Louise Adler is the chief executive and publisher of Melbourne University Publishing.
Something should be done to bring to public attention the endorsement by the likes of Louise Adler of academically unsound and dishonest works, like the works of Jacqueline Rose, cited in her article. (is there an Austalian equivalent of Campus Watch?)
