Racism, censorship & spruiking war . . .

Left, screen grab from this New Matilda Facebook thread (click on the pic to enlarge & read). Note commentator Tim Phillips and his derogatory/racist comment about Muslims, neither challenged or removed by New Matilda. However on a different issue, when New Matilda was asked about their silence re courageous Australian Customs whistleblower Allan Kessing (in a thread relating to whistle blowing), not only did they delete the comment within minutes, they banned the poster.  Here's the evidence.

And while I have no animosity towards the poor animal in the article, I have great difficulty with the description of the Afghan incursion as a "War." I think the term one-sided slaughter of children and other civilians would be more appropriate - and as for the encouragement not to forget the dog, I prefer not to forget the children on the other end of co-alition bombs.

And one more point? Lest we forget, this is not a "Moral" conflict, it's just another one of the Global resource wars . . .
