Terrorist group Hezbollah’s virulent television station has been exposed by The Age’s Barney Zwartz as still broadcasting in Australia despite being banned by Australian authorities.
Zwartz reports:
Al-Manar promotes and raises money for terrorism, particularly against Israel. It has just started broadcasting again into Asia and the Pacific from Indonesia, using a company part-owned by the Indonesian Government, and is available to people with satellite dishes.
The station is viciously anti-Semitic — perpetuating the medieval “blood libel” that Jews use the blood of Christian children in their Passover meals — as well as anti-Israel and anti-US. Hezbollah triggered a war with Israel in 2006 after kidnapping two Israeli soldiers.
Al-Manar’s political talk shows feature guests from terrorist organisations. It has shown the decomposing bodies of Israeli soldiers. It also screens mundane programming, such as educational children’s shows.
Australian Arabic Council chairman Roland Jabbour said it was hypocritical for a government that believed in freedom of speech to ban al-Manar. He said the channel was very popular and widely watched by Arabic speakers in Australia.
The channel is mostly financed by the terror exporting Islamic Republic of Iran and has been banned by the United States, France, Spain and many other countries.
Invited guests frequently call for “Death to America” and the Statue of Liberty is presented as a “ghoul, her gown dripping blood, a knife instead of a torch in her raised hand.”
You can get it from their website too. Do you want that banned too ? I thought you believed in free speech.
They should be bombed and banned.
