It is the media !!

Our Media and Their Media

The Western media has never taken an objective approach towards the Arab just causes, rather it always takes a negative and unrealistic approach towards these causes that might be considered worse than the official ambiguous attitude taken by the Western governments and at the same time claim objectivity and keenness to preserve freedoms and other clich s .

Our media, on the other hand, is accused of using an obsolete discourse.

    The Arab media might be negligent in terms of conveying the Arab objective view point to the Western circles as well as the international public opinion, and he who is familiar with this media would discover that though it doesn't resort to suspense and bombastic words, yet it enjoys credibility and commitment to significant causes unlike the western media which resorts to scandals, suspense, and marginal issues.

There are many examples, the latest of which is the murder of the Egyptian citizen Marwa Al-Sharbini by a German terrorist inside a court in Dreseden and then he attacked her husband 

who tried to defend his wife

.

Worse than this, a German policemen shot the husband instead of the killer "by mistake" according to the German account.

This horrible and shocking incident has passed without creating whatsoever interest by the Western media especially that it took place inside the court and in the presence of the German judges.

The other example is the death of the Iranian young woman Neda Sultani in the violent clashes which followed the presidential elections with a stray bullet, but what was the attitude of the Western media?

    They have made Sultani an icon and focused on this issue as if it were the only issue in the world. Moreover, these media attacked the Iranian policy and claimed that Iran poses a great threat to the peace in the region.

But the most important and the most recent example is what is happening in

Gaza Strip and

the terrorist acts perpetrated by the Israeli occupation troops against the Palestinians which we are still witnessing their dire consequences represented in the siege and closure of the crossing points, as well as challenging the simplest international laws and the rights of one and a half million Palestinians.

Here we can raise the following questions:

    What was the attitude of the Western media during

    the Israeli onslaught against Gaza?

    And what did it say about the repercussions of this

    military aggression?

    Has anybody taken a daring attitude and condemned

    Israel and unmasked its terrorist policies as he has

    with regard to the death of the Iranian young woman

    Sultani, taking into consideration that those who

    were amputated and those who were murdered were

    children and women let alone thousands of houses

    which were wiped out

The question which remains is the following.

Why does not the world and its "free" media show anger for the crimes and atrocities committed by the Zionist entity, whereas it expressed outrage for the death of the Iranian woman?

Besides, why does not the Western media recognize the murder of the

Egyptian Marwa Al-Sharbini,

    and why does it not recognize the rising racism in the west in general against everything that is Muslim and Arab?

To put it bluntly, which objectivity are they talking about ? Which freedom of speech are they trying to promote at the time when the western media is very far from objectivity and truth?
