Getting full on Israel

Rupert Murdoch and Nicole Kidman, seen above, enjoy a tasty meal in New York. What's the occasion? Let the "official" News Ltd press release explain:

"News Corporation chairman and chief executive officer, Rupert Murdoch, has received a humanitarian award from the Simon Wiesenthal Centre.

"The Eastern Office of the Centre presents the award annually.

"Mr Murdoch, who attended with his wife, Wendy Deng, received the award at the organisation's annual dinner at The Waldorf-Astoria in New York on Wednesday.

"Australian Hollywood actor Nicole Kidman presented Mr Murdoch with the Humanitarian Laureate Award in recognition of his contributions to humanitarian causes. The award recognises his exceptional efforts on behalf of tolerance and diversity."

One has to read another Murdoch publication, Melbourne's Herald Sun, to discover the real reason behind the award:

"The award recognises Mr Murdoch's support for Israel. Mr Murdoch thanked 'his real friend and great sport' for agreeing to present the award."

Elites TV goes even further:

"The black-tie crowd was rapt as both the Israeli and U.S. national anthems were played, and speeches were made.

"As usual, our Open All Night team got into the spirit of the evening, focusing on the gleaming diamond ring on Nicole Kidman’s wedding-ring finger. Is it an engagement ring from country singer Keith Urban? Kidman tore into the chicken dinner with gusto, causing everyone to wonder if she’s pregnant."

Amazingly, the website actually features a rather unflattering picture of Kidman tearing into her dead bird.

But, let's not be churlish. Murdoch was thanked for his life-long support of the Zionist state, and by implication, its brutal occupation, checkpoints, Jewish-only roads etc. And let's not forget that supporting the Iraq war was the true mark of a
humanitarian. As he said in 2003:

"The greatest thing to come out of this for the world economy, if you could put it that way, would be $20 a barrel for oil. That's bigger than any tax cut in any country."

ttzxShabadoo, your obsession with Ant is becoming really quite disturbing, not to mention, sad. What, are you glued to his blog all day, waiting with baited breath for him to post something just so you can respond?

I don't believe in a Jewish, Zionist state. It's pretty simple really, said it numerous times before. I support the right of Jews to live there, along with Palestinians. A one-state solution is the ideal, but a two-state more likely in the near future.
As for the Wiesenthal Centre, no better or worse than most Zionist groups, defending every Israeli crime like they own the place.
Read Finkelstein's Holocaust Industry for much more on this.

Sorry dude, truly no time to answer all these.
My book covers much of it, and it's out in a few months.

Hmmmm...

I somehow can't imagine Uncle Rupert working the two way radio on an FDB recce mission to pin down a group of neo-Nazis who were planning to do over a Synagogue.

Where's MY bloody award handed to me by Nicole Kidman?

"picture of Kidman tearing into her dead bird."

What a philistine! Whereas the culturally well-adjusted blog administrator would only be seen eating live bird.

Hmmm, try: And by implication, his support for the only gay rights parade in the Middle East, set in Jerusalem of all cities, inter alia.

That’s a pretty crappy picture of Nicole by the way. Really that desperate to point out the fact than an actress eats? No need to get all snotty, I'm sure whatever it was, was free-range.

If the land that belongs to the Palestinians is handed back to them and th3ey are left alone, then the case will be closed.

At least we now know that the irradication of Israel is to goal. What could possibly be irrational about that?

Not to the palestinians who consider all of Israel to be occupied territory. But you knew that.
