US public radio journalist fired after calling Israeli occupation ‘brutal’
Al Akhbar | March 22, 2012
A veteran American journalist has been fired after referring to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian and Syrian land as “brutal.”
Sunni Khalid, managing news editor at WYPR-FM in Baltimore, was dropped by the public radio station on Thursday after more than nine years on the job.
He had been on probation following criticism of comments he made on Facebook about Israel’s continued illegal occupation of Palestine.
“I, for one, have had enough of this pandering before the Israeli regime,” he wrote.
“The war-mongering toward Iran has, once again, distracted the world from Israel’s brutal military occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights.”
Khalid, who previously worked for National Public Radio, has also written for Time Magazine, The Washington Times, and USA Today.
Israel maintains economic control over Gaza and the West Bank, with devastating consequences for the Palestinian civilian population.
Rights groups including Amnesty International have repeatedly condemned rights abuses against Palestinians.

Israel: promised land for Jews … as long as they’re not black?
Dr. Hanan Chehata | Sage Publications | June 2012
… Increasingly, Israel is being seen as a racist and exclusionist state. Its subjugation and abuse of Palestinians living within Israel (20 per cent of the population), as well as those living under the Israeli military occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, are well documented and have led to it being called an apartheid state. What is less well known, however, is just how ingrained and insidious racism in Israel actually is, in that it not only extends to Palestinian Christians and Muslims, but also to Jews who come from ethnic minority backgrounds. Jews who were once supposedly welcomed into Israel as brothers and sisters in faith now find themselves relegated to the underclass in Israel. While they may be placed far above Palestinians, they are nonetheless far below non-black Jews. … Read full article

Nasty Punk Rockefellers.
Time to honor the new patriots and heros of our time!!!!
Clearly Abraham did not have a Talmud, and Jesus did not hate Himself. Ashkenazim “Proselytes” are NOT Hebrews – NOT Semitic and NOT from the Tribe of Judah.
Remember the Commandment “THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR ! ” ???
But it would be anti-semitic to say that Jews own the media…
RE: “But it would be anti-semitic to say that Jews own the media…”
That would mean then , that being anti-Semitic is one who tells the truth. Wear it like a badge of honor.
hey, these are zionist pi*s, what can you expect, fight the zionists, fight them , get rid of these vipers
Overthrow and occupation from within. By way of deception and all of that..
The journalist should have voluntarily quit. Instead, he got fired. What a wimp.
The MSM is tanking, all evidence points to the MSM being the most rapidly collapsing industry in the world, principally because their self-delusion and inability to tell a lie straight is catching up to them. Even the blue-haired ladies think it’s BS. Now, that’s hard to do.
Next up- the Rockefeller and Gates Foundation (look into the various layers of those crews) controlled public television and NPR, as increasing information becomes available and as people realize that the public television/radio information is simply a left-leaning form of lies and propaganda.
Look out below.
The Central-Asian Khazars, so-called “AshkeNazI” converts to Judaism, are the plague of Humanity. Not only were they instrumental at supplanting and destroying the real Semitic jews, but have unleashed their poisons and devilish plans on various peoples across Earth.
The Jews are trying to turn the USA into the USSR.
