Pilger's Preposterous Peace Prize
Australia's Jewish community's in an uproar because journalist John Pilger is receiving the Sydney Peace Prize, the country's most prestigious international award.
It's bad enough that Pilger's polemics debase journalism. Among other things, he has mishandled quotes and produced Palestine Is Still the Issue, a discredited documentary.
Unfortunately, the Sydney Peace Foundation also cheapens the concept of peace prizes. Previous winners include Hanan Ashrawi, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mary Robinson, Hans Blix and Irene Khan.
I doubt we'll receive any Rosh HaShanah cards from Pilger. He considers HonestReporting "a thoroughly sinister organization."

Peace Prize Awarded to Israel Hating "Journalist"
Anti-Zionist and terror apologist scumbag john pilger, received the Sydney Peace Prize, much to the consternation of Australia's Jewish community. Why even bother getting upset? None of these "peace" prize awards should ever be taken seriously. These are politicized extreme left-wing organizations pretending to advocate for peace when in fact they are all about promoting an anti-Israel and anti-American agenda. How can any organization which awards backers of genocidal terrorists with a "peace" prize be seen as anything but a fraud and a sick joke? It was the same with peace movements during the cold war which were really communist fronts. Today's peace movements are jihadist fronts. I'm actually more disturbed that Israel hater and terror apologist Mary Robinson received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, because that used to mean something, but now such a prestigious honor has been diminished by the current White House occupant and his politicization of the award. She was chosen precisely because she is anti-Israel and also because she condemned the Bush administration.
