Shoes intifada vs pro-U.S. propaganda

There were uncount­able arti­cle, poems, and sto­ries in sup­port of Al-Zaidi action against Bush, but as usual there were few arti­cle crit­i­cized what he did writ­ten by pro-American agenda Arabs [Iraqi intel­lec­tual Salah Al-Mukhtar calls them “Arab-Marines”].

This a pre­view of such articles:

I don’t know thisEng­lish] “Jour­nal­ism, Democ­racy and Shoes!”.

answers:

With such claims, should I beat myself or you will do it dear read­ers? Bush, who invaded Iraq and vio­lated the honor of the peo­ple in Abu Ghraib, is a guest and should be treated accord­ing to Arab customs?

Bush came as an invader and he is treated like an invader.

Saudi – Amer­i­can pro­pa­ganda coop­er­a­tion is to be seen on the Saudi funded news site Elaph:

The first arti­cle appeared to crit­i­cize Al-Zaidi action is writ­ten by the Arab Head of an Amer­i­can spy orga­ni­za­tion mon­i­tors Arab web­sites and forums inject­ing here and there few pro­pa­ganda materials.

For those who don’t know Walid Jawad, then here is how he started: “who also wrote that Guan­tanamo is not that bad]

Jawad wrote on Elaph an arti­cle called “pen Jour­nal­ism or foot jour­nal­ism?”

In this ret­ro­gres­sive democ­racy in Iraq, Bush put him­self avail­able among the jour­nal­ists to spread the ben­e­fits of the U.S. — Iraq rela­tions. With Al-Zaidi action this ben­e­fit never achieved.

The com­ments under the arti­cle were enough to show the writer who peo­ple received his article.

Encour­aged by the writer, Saudi Elaph thought: “Maybe we can spread out own pro­pa­ganda”, and this is what they did and worked on some peo­ple [see the com­ment by “Mis­ter Ghost” in this Blog].

Elaph reported the following:

Elaph man­aged to obtain con­fi­den­tial infor­ma­tion that Al-Zaidi works for a AL-Baghdadia TV which pro-Ba’ath related to Raghad, Saddam’s daughter.

And as for Al-Zaidi, our infor­ma­tion revealed that he is lives in Sadr city, wears Che Gue­vara Tshirt and cho­sen to show that there are many Shi­ites still loyal to Sad­dam Hus­sein. Al-Zaidi received train­ing on what he will do and say in the press conference.

Egypt­ian writer Jamal Sul­tan said he was wait­ing for the Amer­i­can­ized Arabs media-group to be angry:

As if they were insulted by a shoes and not Bush. Out of the sud­den they remem­bered the civ­i­lized world describ­ing the action of the Iraqi jour­nal­ist as barbarian.

In their defense of their “God­fa­ther” Bush, they for­get that the U.S. is lead­ing the world in Barbarism.

P.S.

In many of these arti­cles, I sent my own com­ments saying:

Was the killing of Aljazeera cam­era­man in Bagh­dad a civ­i­lized act? What about Al-Jazeera anchor Sami Al-Haj’s three years in Guan­tanamo, or Reuters cor­re­spon­dent who is still in U.S. cus­tody even after he is declared inno­cent by an Iraqi court.

Where were these voices?

Not a sin­gle com­ment of mine is pub­lished.
