Are you in Lebanon, or do you have family or friends there? SMS your photos and video to 0416 905 403 or email community@theage.com.auThis is a sickening breach of journalistic standards. Don't they have their own photographers in the region ? Clearly they are hungry for some images to make Israel look bad. I have never heard of The Age asking Jewish Australians to send in images from an Israeli town under terrorist attacks. Why ? Because that would evoke reader sympathy with Israel, and the socialist editors at The Age couldn't have that.

The Age demonise Israel yet again
As Israel takes the necessary steps to punish the Hezbollah terrorists behind the acts of war, kidnappings and rockets, the left wing rag known as The Age is actually begging all civilians who might be in Lebanon to send pictures with camera phones or email.
Agreed, The Age is increasingly outrageous on the Middle East, reflecting its editor's own personal obsessions.
ReplyDeleteWe all feel the sadness of all the good people in northern Israel and Lebanon hurt by the actions of terrorists and those hunting them down.
Why can't Melbourne have a broadsheet newspaper that reflects that sadness and a genuine desire for peace of the kind that Israel has passionately sought for many years, offering 97% of the territorial demands of the PA leadership?
