Western media, whose agenda is dictated by the world's greatest 'bully on the block' (to paraphrase Colin Powell's elucidation of what America ought to become following the end of the Cold War) deal in myths and propaganda. Principal among them that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East (Palestinians voted for the wrong party - Hamas - so they are obviously not democratic) and that Iran is the great threat to peace (never mind the pesky real facts - that Iran has been a victim of American and British terror since 1953).
Here is 'an inconvenient truth': the Israeli government cracks down on its own citizens who dissent from its nakedly Zionazist policies against the Palestinians. They are seizing the computers of such citizens, and calling them for 'interrogations' (read 'intimidations') - so they cannot communicate with citizens of other nations, to express their dissent, and so reveal the cracks in the Israeli stance.
The message below was sent by Jewish Voices for Peace, not some 'Islamic' or 'jihadist' organisation:
Let me cut down to the chase. We have just learned that a number of Israeli peace activists have had their computers confiscated, have been called for interrogations, and have only been released upon signing agreements not to contact their political friends for 30 days. We are asking you to contact the Israeli Attorney General to demand an immediate stop to this harassment.
The activists targeted are members of New Profile, a group of feminist women and men daring to suggest that Israel need not be a militarized society. They are being wrongfully accused of inciting young people--like the shministim--not to enlist in the army. The charge is not true. While New Profile does not tell youngsters not to enlist, they certainly support those who do not: pacifists, those who oppose the occupation, and others. New Profile informs them of their rights and gives them legal support when necessary. But Israel is a country that does not acknowledge the basic human right to conscientious objection.
The government's accusation against New Profile is not new. It has been out there for some time, as a source of harassment. Today's police actions tighten the screws considerably. We've seen how international pressure has helped get many shministim out of jail. Now it's time to put as much pressure so that Israeli peace activists can do their work free of intimidation.
I leave you with a note from New Profile: "These recent acts confirm what we have been contending for many years: the militarism of society in Israel harms the sacred principles of democracy, freedom of expression and freedom of political association. One who believed that until now criminal files were conjured up "only" for Arab citizens of Israel saw this morning that none of us can be certain that s/he can freely express an opinion concerning the failures of society and rule in Israel."

WESTERN INDIGNATION OVER AFGHAN LAW
'Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.' Matthew 7:5.
Much like Iraqi 'weapons of mass destruction', the Western media has swallowed whole the term 'marital rape' supposedly authorized by the new Afghan law without really studying it, and self-righteous editorials condemning 'marital rape' as a proven fact now abound.. In fact, though the (misreported) Afghan legislation would require wives (except in certain circumstances such as menstruation) to submit/consent to sex with their husbands once in four days.
How hateful for a woman to have to have sex with her husband every four days! How barbaric! What a horror!. But really what's barbaric is the way men are treated in Western society.
In Western society, women apparently have no obligations to their husbands who in consequence have no conjugal rights provided by law, whereas wives are entitled to be provided for eternally even if they are committing adultery – sleeping with someone else. Separated former wives must get paid alimony and/or child support, or else the husband can be jailed. But wives who end up with the matrimonial home in 80% of cases, can deny husbands court-ordered visitation (thus also harming their children by denying them fathers) with nary a chance of being punished. As an idiot judge out West put it: “It is not my job to punish women who don't obey visitation orders'; or something to that effect. This is equality?
This is but one symptom of a eunuch society that has sold out men to male-hating feminist ideology.
A few years ago it was common for the Western media to denigrate arranged marriages which are common in India and other 'Eastern' countries. They ought to look at their own history when such marriages were common, or even to their 'modern' system, where so-called 'love' (really lust characterized by plenty of premarital 'research' in bars, one-night-stands and so on, to be followed naturally by extra-marital activity) results in marriages 'till the next argument do us part', after which the 'loving wife' can legally proceed to grab the house and kids, demand eternal financial support, and pepper-spray the estranged husband with false allegations.
Instead of lecturing other societies, the West ought to look at fixing its own system of marriage, which is BROKEN. Children grow up exposed to multiple sex partners of the spouse they happen to be with, and tiny tots are routinely taken into public bath areas where adult members of the opposite sex stand exposed. What a wonderful system, to be shoved down the throats of people around the world!
