PRICE OF SUPPORTING AND TELLING THE TRUTH  

Click here to go straight to "Hate Mail" below

 

While reacting to Mr. Robert Fisk's article of the 25th May, 2002; "There is a firestorm coming, and it is being provoked by Mr Bush", the " Wall Street Journal" carried this report on the 28th of May, 2002: 

 

"...... Robert Fisk, the America-hating correspondent for London's Independent, is in full froth over President Bush's likening World War IV to World War II. Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Yasser Arafat, et al., after all, aren't Hitler"...... "Meanwhile, a Fisk admirer has started a Web site in his honor, Robert-Fisk.com.........".

We would like to take this opportunity to pay our tribute to Mr. Robert Fisk for his honest reporting and courage against those who vilify him for telling the truth. Before you read the "hate-mail" below, we suggest that you first read Mr. Fisk's own account of how he is being vilified, by whom and for what reasons: 

 

Why does John Malkovich want to kill me?

He might be denied any further visas to Britain until he apologises for his remarks. But the damage has been done.

I am being vilified for telling the truth about Palestinians

'The abuse being directed at anyone who dares to criticise Israel is reaching McCarthyite proportions'

The internet threat to truly honest reporting.

28 May 2001

'In the States, the internet is challenging the monopoly of pro-Israeli news'

Truth is the victim as the same old double standards prevail 

 When journalists refuse to tell the truth about Israel

17 April 2001

'Fear of being slandered as "anti-Semites" means we are abetting terrible deeds in the Middle East'

Journalists are now targets - but who is to blame for this?

23 February 2002

The murder of Daniel Pearl of The Wall Street Journals was as revolting as it was outrageous. But why was he killed? Because he was a Westerner, a "Kaffir"? Because he was an American? Or because he was a journalist?

As an outspoken critic of US policy in the Middle East, Fisk expected a hostile reception when he paid his first visit to the American Midwest since 11 September.

How about posting all the pictures of the atrocities that took place for 30+ years under Saddam Hussein. I'd love to see what snide remarks you'd enter into the captions on those 30 odd years of photographs.

 

Understand that sometimes war is a necessary evil and the future of the Iraqi's is going to be 10000 times better than if Saddam had controlled Iraq for another 25 or so years and then given his country to one of his psychotic and demented sons to rule for another 40-50 years. You should be proud the US put its foot down and is stopping Saddam's madness once and for all.

 

Liberals never cease to amaze me. Next... I'm sure you'll be defending the North Koreans until you are blue in the face, or until a nuclear missile sails over your city and blows up your family and friends.

 

It is sad and regretable for the loss of civilian life but you know aswell as anyone that the USA deliberately attempts to avoid civilian casualties. Tell me of any other nation on the earth that would go through such pains to minimize deaths of non combatants.

 

The people of Iraq are still scared that the old Baathists will return to power and are reluctant to truely demonstrated their appreciation for what we have done for them. Once the Baathist loyalists that are lobbing grenades into Iraqi civilians are captured or killed and a sense of stability is restored, the Iraqi people will get a taste of true freedom and will rejoice.

 

You will see.

Dear Mr. Frisk:

I am an American, I love my country, and I think we are right in what we are doing.

I would never debate a moron such as yourself on the subjects of America vs The Muslim world (YES I DID SAY MUSLIM WORLD) because I could never get you to compromise yourself and you standards of hatred for the free world and you defence of the muslim FANATICS that are reponsible for most of the atrocities in the world today. I will ask you a couple of questions and would like to hear your or a spokespersons responce.

 

1.) How can you defend the Palestinians, Taliban, and Saddam Huesseins regime and compare the US government to Nazi Germany and keep a staright face?

 

2.) Would you rather live in the USA, or the Taliban controlled Afghanistan, or Saddam H. Controlled Iraq, or the current democracy of Iran. (America doesnt really need another commie asshole like you by the way so stay out)

These are only two questions I am curious about.

 

Please answer and post on your weak ass website under hate mail.

Robert,

 

NOthing can make a war reasonable. As my friend just died in Iraq

You know whats worth a thousand words a picture of two prised buildings of Americas burning were is that on your site i don't see it if your gonna cover a story get both sides. many of my friends died there.

 

We are talking about a country who even their children said all Americans deserve to die were is that on your server. i have seen the interviews and talked with em on-line.

 

Two wrongs will never make a right but if we deserved that in their opinion then what do they deserve? You can contact me on that at crypticds@yahoo.com

 

those were horrible things we did but it was a accident if we meant to hit civilians we wouldn't use precision missiles then change to precision concrete bombs now would we? we cant just let the horrible things that happened to us happen again and again and again and again and you cant deny that they said we deserve it Ive heard it over and over if we deserve it their gonna do it again Were is Saddam gassing his own people on your server?

 

You need to get a grip, war crimes LOOK AT AFRICA THAT IS WAR CRIMES

a war crime is a blatant attack on civilians. We do not mean to hurt civilians if we did we wouldn't be standing by civilians for them to be able to pull a gun nor would we risk our life to rush a wounded Iraqi to the hospital

 

peace,

Dear Sir (and I use that term loosely),

 

Everyone has the right to their opinion, no matter how

backward and idiotic it is. Needless to say, I do not

agree with your summation of the Middle Eastern

conflict. But, I will say that you are as brain dead

and ignorant as those dumbass frog (french) reporters

that did "articles" during the Vietnam War.

 

As a journalist it would stand to reason that you could see

both sides of the situation. Yea, civilians get

killed...so what!!!!! Civilians are killing our

soldiers. When not one more AMERICAN PERSON dies

because of these rag-heads and their screwed up

values..I will worry about their women and children.

Until that day.....the more women (with grenades) and

children (young terrorists) we kill, the more AMERICAN

PEOPLE that will be saved. I can only wonder how your

opinion would be different if Big Ben or Parliment

were leveled by airplanes? Or, are you not smart

enough to be able to look beyond your own stupidity?

Robert ALMOST gets it right with

"So here's a question from one who believed, only a week ago, that Baghdad
might just collapse, that we might wake up one morning to find the Baathist
militia and the Iraqi army gone and the Americans walking down Saadun Street
with their rifles over their shoulders."

That's what just happened

but he spoils it with this later,

 " But suddenly, this weekend, the quick and easy war, the conflict of
"shock-and-awe" - the Pentagon's phrase is itself a classic slogan from the
pages of the old Nazi magazine "Signal" - doesn't seem so realistic. Things
are going wrong. We are not telling the truth. And the Iraqis are riding
high on it all."

I think the hatemail you receive is very foolish. What people should
concentrate on telling you is that Fisk has little understanding, or correct
analysis, of what's happening.

These are all quotes from your website.

Anyway, that was fun.... Bob Orr

"And while there's a large complex of buildings blown to pieces by missiles
a mile away and the airport radar system is out of action after an early
raid by American or British jets, Mr. Jabbouri appeared to be correct. Had
the Americans found themselves miles away on the edge of the old RAF airbase
at Habbaniyeh, one wondered, and confused it with the airport outside
Baghdad? Had they sent a patrol up to the far side of the Saddam airport for
a few minutes, just to say they'd been there?"

I believe we all know that the US actually did take the airport.... Wrong

Quote from Article of 4th April

"Indeed, what I found most extraordinary was that there appeared to be
absolutely no attempt to block the road into Baghdad from the airport. Save
for a few soldiers on the streets and a police squad car, you might have
thought this a mildly warm holiday afternoon. Was their some kind of trap
about to be sprung? Were the Americans being lured into the gentle,
palm-fringed highway into town because, unknown to all of us, there was in
fact some real armour hidden away in the great fields on the western banks
of the Tigris? All day, I had asked myself about the supposed American
assault-to-come on Baghdad"

The answer is "no" Robert. Wrong again. I'm not saying that Fisk is evil or
anything like that, just that his ideology deludes him. Anyway, go through
all his articles and you'll see him proved wrong by the facts over and over
again.

 Hope this helps... B.........

I thought you said the Americans were lying about

and about getting into Baghdad.  Perhaps the cheering
crowds and the fallen statue downtown were, to use
your words, staged to "cover-up for their failure"

"Where are the Americans" you asked?  Maybe you should
check downtown Baghdad.

I think you should also provide your liberal, anti-American site with pictures of the four marines blown apart by the latest suicide bomber? Or maybe some pictures of the dead "POW's" - or what is left of them. Or better yet, why not add some pictures of the thousands of victims of September 11th...oh, but wait, you can't....as they were blown to pieces so small you can't see them as if they disappeared into thin air. If you want to remotely in any manner provide TRUE journalism to your readers, maybe you should stop being so one sided and show the whole story or at the VERY least, pictures with captions - like the pictures of the Iraqis that are being killed and maimed by Saddam Hussein's men. Instead, you list these pictures on your site as victims from the "Anglo-Americans" instead of what they are - victims of Saddam Hussein's killers.

Dear Idiot

Did you get the pictures of Saddam's gas victims ? Did you get the pictures of the new palaces of Saddam while the children starve ? I did not think so ..and did you get some pictures of the men and women jumping on fire form the Twin Towers ?

Well we got that last picture here and we are not going to let it happen again . And if Mr Fisk will remember correctly , if not for the American GI he would be working for the Tokyo news agency or perhaps a job in Berlin if his German was good enough .

So open your mind to the truth and the lies from the Middle Eastern dictators, all 22 of the Arab league members whom are either dictators or princes or kings of the royal family (none are elected ..none !). Time for a change and some freedom , but the poor buggers don't know what to do with . The truth is that the regimes of the Omars and the Immans are all brutal and stamp on human rights and you show no pictures of this ?

Dear Sir,

Sorry, but please see the following link from the BBC which proves that you are wrong. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2884769.stm

 

All other pictures also are from Iraq and are of the innocent victims of the recent Anglo-American aggression. These pictures have and continue to appear widely around the world in Newspapers and on the Internet. There are many Independent reporters and photographers from around the world in Iraq who report the Truth

as they see it, unlike the "embedded" reporters.

Mr. Fisk...you call yourself and your cohorts journalists..big

mistake...journalists report all the facts, not their interpretation of the

facts or selected facts that meet their own private agendas...want examples?

Assuming the market blast in Baghdad was of Allied origin...isn't there a

possibility that dear old Saddam might have staged it? Find out if there is

an upriding in Basra, not reporting simply Al-Jazeerah's version of

Basra..all-in-all, many people find your so-called reporting nothing but a

very distorted and agenda-supporting version of facts regarding the Middle

East (and that is a fact) and one has to wonder what is behind that

approach..have you ever considered a refresher course in reporting? You

might learn something

"Self-disgust", when referring to himself in the Dec. 8, 2001 incident.................That says it all in describing the motives of the Puppet of Saddam.

What will old Fisky write ( and lie) about when everyone owes their freedom to the freest?

 Fisk at it again. The part dealing with Israel is a treacherous lie....it

those who died are unfounded and deceitful. He is a propagandist of the

How wonderful. A web-site devoted to the toxic rants of the 21st century's

very own Lord Haw Haw.

As far as Dr Fisk is concerned, everything bad in the world is the fault of

America, anything good just happens by accident. I console myself with Chris

Hitchin's comment: it doesn't matter what you or the good doctor think. (It

never has and it never will).

After watching Mr. Fisk on C-SPAN today, I believe he is erudite, articulate, insightful -- and very much an apologist for Islamic fundamentalism and the cruel, inhuman despots throughout the Middle East. Or, more optimistically, perhaps Mr. Fisk is just hopelessly confused.

Despicably and inexplicably, Mr. Fisk constantly asked callers to think about the "root cause" of the Arabs' hatred -- the "unconditional" support of Israel by the United States. Mr. Fisk obviously believes that the U.S. should be evenhanded in dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after Israel made a generous offer of peace and statehood to the Palestinians that was met with a brutal campaign of murderous terror by the PA against Jewish WOMEN and CHILDREN. A campaign that introduced the world to the phenomenon of homicide bombings, a tactic that Mr. Fisk seems to think is no better of worse than the accidental shooting of rioting teenagers in Jenin or Hebron by Israeli soldiers. In Mr. Fisk's imaginary world of moral relativism, all violence is bad and there are no aggressors or victims.

Perhaps if the U.S. were to engage in this misguided moral relativism, then the world would be a much better and safer place? Who knows, maybe the U.S. should have utilized that moral relativism in W.W.II, when Great Britain and the rest of Europe had to be rescued from Nazi tyranny, er, I mean, Nazi "enthusiasm." Yes, that's the correct term, right?

If Mr. Fisk truly believes that all violence is equal and there aren't aggressors and victims, then he is truly ignorant of and/or oblivious to the lessons of history and to the eternal truths that transcend intellectual debate, sycophantism and the scourge of the 21st century: moral relativism.

How sad for such a seemingly bright man.

I just heard your interview on c-span. It seems that we NEED to understand Bin laden's "motivations"! And Hitler's as well! At the end of the day, I'm sure the Jews were at fault for the holocaust! Clearly, there is no punishing bad behavior in your world. The U.S. sat by "profitably during the start of world war 2"....(apparently the U.S. wasn't politically divided regarding isolationism, we were counting our money) and now the U.S. is acting only for oil profits! As a capitalist, I understand your need to sell books, but maybe you should check your motivations...

To the notorious Mr. Fisk,

I have witnessed many of your panel discussions and read your articles concerning the Mid East.  You appear to be a RABID anti-semite whether you can recognize it in yourself or not.  You would be, with out a doubt, the first person to find fault with the Jewish state in any given circumstance.  In what is supposed to be journalism (or whatever that field of smugly setting yourself up to judge others is called these days), you are a pro-Arab, pro-Palestinian supporter, not an objective, well-read neutral party with an interest in getting the truth and the facts out to the world.  Any sane, rational and honest person would try to see the conflict from both sides and come to certain conclusions. You want it both ways. YOU are pro-Arab and anti-Israel.You will never understand the Israeli/Jewish side of the story because you, come on now, admit it, dislike, i.e. hate Jews.  There is something in your background, or foreground that will not let you get past your hatred for these people.  You are an Arabist, pure and simple.  What is most unfortunate is how you have this privileged platform to spout your smug, know-it-all views on a subject that you know very little.  What you DO know is coloured by your hatreds.

 

A most unfortunate situation for the Jews.  I wonder why you have such a zest, almost a bloodthirsty zeal for finding any minute detail to put Jews and Israel in the negative.  Of all the terrible people, leaders, or countries in the world, you have personally selected Israel and the Jews to judge.  The absolute arrogance of your pompous self is beyond belief.

Unfortunately, your crusade to bring down Israel and assist  the world hating in their never-ending Jew-hatred is working.  You must be very proud of  yourself and your "work".

VM M... (ju....@netscape.net) has sent you an Arab News page

Personal Message:

Ah ... the protests against Hanan Ashrawi in Virginia and Colorado. Why would Mr. Fisk be idiotic enough to use such examples. Did the protesters mentioned break windows? Did they throw rocks? Did they punch and get into a scuttle with the police? Well, Mr. Fisk? Did they? Can you answer that Mr. Fisk? You were, at least, there in Virginia as you claimed. Did they, Mr. Fisk? I will tell you who did all those things. The Arab protesters up in Concordia, Canada protesting the speech that was to be given by Neytanahu. Yes, indeed as you, Mr. Fisk, pointed out that it was a bad week to be an Arab. They clearly showed the tendency to resort to violence. They can't act in a civilized manner. Of course, not all Arabs are like that. But the examples between the two groups of protesters provide a stark contrast that even you, Mr. Fisk, cannot answer for. We now know why you neglect to mention it. What a pity ..
