ABC is Political

Faults on both sides noco, but the Israelis have the might of the US on their side, with all the money and arms sent by Jews in the US to Israel, so the poor Palestinians don't have much comeback against that sort of strength.

What else can they do but fire a few rockets every now and then ? It never achieves anything but I suppose they are justifying themselves to their supporters.

Meanwhile Israel keeps expanding their borders and pushing the Palestinians out. No one seems to want much to do with them, and so people keep getting thrown out of their houses onto the streets.

Here is a break down of USA foreign aid to various countries including Israel....Note the amount given to Egypt a Muslim country.

Now who supplies Hamas with those 6000 rockets which they fire into Israel over a short period of time from around the hospitals and schools in the Gaza strip? The poor Palestinians don't have money.

The poor Palestinians would much prefer to live in peace and would do so without the Hamas terrorist organization interfering with their lives..

I for one will miss the hard hitting stories from regional australia about farmers demanding welfare (sorry drought assistance) and the stories about the local town fair. Good thing the abc knows where to cut.

Separate sectional from national interest.

Your view on the international buy-up of Australian farms and pastoral leases is...what?

Wow its almost as if you have no idea at all - Egypt gets that money as part of the The Camp David Accords.

Wiki said:
The agreement also resulted in the United States committing to several billion dollars worth of annual subsidies to the governments of both Israel and Egypt, subsidies which continue to this day, and are given as a mixture of grants and aid packages committed to purchasing U.S. materiel. From 1979 (the year of the peace agreement) to 1997, Egypt received military aid of US$1.3 billion annually, which also helped modernize the Egyptian military.[22] (This is beyond economic, humanitarian, and other aid, which has totaled more than US$25 billion.) Eastern-supplied until 1979, Egypt now received American weaponry such as the M1A1 Abrams Tank, AH-64 Apache gunship and the F-16 fighter jet. In comparison, Israel has received $3 billion annually since 1985 in grants and military aid packages.[23]

Consensus is that Iranian and Saudi money pays for the rockets, they are smuggled in via Egypt...why do they do this? i imagine its to annoy the f!ck outa the Israelis and keep the dream alive, make sure that there are consequences to Israeli expansion.

Ever heard of the concept of divide and rule? - a simple strategy, the last thing the Israelis want is for the Palestinians to get together again...ask yourself who has the most to gain from a divided Palestine?

This is all pretty basic stuff noco, please do a little reading.

This is all pretty basic stuff noco, please do a little reading.

Elements of this technique involve:

creating or encouraging divisions among the subjects to prevent alliances that could challenge the sovereign
aiding and promoting those who are willing to cooperate with the sovereign
fostering distrust and enmity between local rulers
encouraging meaningless expenditures that reduce the capability for political and military spending

Historically, this strategy was used in many different ways by empires seeking to expand their territories.

The concept is also mentioned as a strategy for market action in economics to get the most out of the players in a competitive market.

That is pretty ancient material...you seem to have gone back to the Roman Empire and Jesus Christ's days..

You could not call Israel an Empire......The Palestinians were OK until Hamas took over and when the Arabs tried to wipe Israel off the map in the 6 day war in 1967...if that had not taken place the situation could have been quite different...The Jews are a different culture to Islam and the Arabs were not happy with Israel being in that location among all the Arab states.

More blundering by the national broadcaster.

ABC New Year's broadcast rights up for tender - January 3, 2015
http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment...ast-rights-up-for-tender-20150102-12gxdm.html

The ABC says it can't afford regional services. But there's plenty of money for an amateur hour handi-cam broadcast of the New Years Eve fireworks.

Don't like Julia Zemiro's chances of working on the ABC again. Western civilization will try to struggle on.

Waleed is going to have to redouble his efforts to get the ABC through this crisis.

There seems to have been an oversight with the ABC Asian Cup coverage - Waleed is absent from the commentary team with Stephanie, Paul Okon and the boys. It's a major hit to the credibility of the so-called expert panel.

Tim Blair - Tuesday, January 27, 2015

Audiences are down at the ABC:

The ABC lost 3.95 per cent of group audience across all channels last year, even suffering a 3.8 per cent decline in prime time among its traditional older demographic of over-55s …

The ABC as a whole lost audience at about twice the rate of the Seven, Nine and Ten networks, and about three times the rate against their main channels.

But at least one over-55 is still clinging to her favourite broadcaster..[pic of Christine Milne]

I must say when the soccer drivel comes on the ABC news show I flick over to something more interesting like the infomercials like : Abtronics, Shark vacuum cleaners....anything but the droning on and on about a boring, boring game full of people with non Australian accents. I'm the same with the tennis and golf. Now lawn bowls, there is an exiting game

If the ABC were in charge of the RBA, they'd be cutting interest rates on the headline inflation rate rather than the underlying rate.

And if the ABC were in charge of border control we would have no borders.

Sarah Ferguson interview with Joe Hockey 'breached ABC bias guidelines'

As for her husband, Tony Jones last night, he was in his element on the Malcolm Turnbull show.

That's funny.
I would have thought that the only way anyone could breach 'ABC bias guidelines' is by not being biased enough

One of the ABC's most acclaimed journalists, Sarah Ferguson, was so hostile towards Treasurer Joe Hockey in an interview last year that she breached the broadcaster's bias guidelines, an ABC-commissioned editorial review has found.

At least they have the guts to respond to criticisms unlike the commercial media who are always right (and always Right).

The finding has been rejected by ABC News director Kate Torney and has angered some senior ABC journalists. Fairfax Media understands Ms Ferguson argued internally that she stands by the interview.

I guess the ABC is always right (and always Left)

I'm sure there are Right wingers out there who would swear the ABC were biased to Labor because they coerced Malcolm into freedom of expression....they didn't fool me though, I could see the hand up the back of his shirt.

This link just confirms how the ABC operate. They are so ruthless.

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/...e-and-relentless/story-fnihsr9v-1227224494145

The ABC is run by the Fabian society which embraces communism, The Greens, the Labor party, Insiders, QandA, the Drum , Media Watch, Fact Check, GETUP and the good old Guardian News paper....They all have their lefty plants and ARE biased towards the Labor Party.

These organizations will rubbish the conservative side of politics at every opportunity but will overlook any wrond doings of the Green/Labor left wing socialist.

Their ideology is, control the media and you control the people.

Fairness is a dirty word with the ABC

That is Murdoch's ideology.

Didn't hear Bolt squealing like a scolded cat about News Limited's "extreme and relentless bias" against Julia Gillard.

the ABC, our biggest media organisation, with four TV stations, five radio stations, an online newspaper and a publishing house.

I think Murdoch is jealous, he is not numero uno.

One of the comments on the article -

It is because the ABC seeks to keep the Australian public informed that this paper (Courier Mail) devotes so much space to discrediting it.
