The Australian launches attack on Green Left Weekly

The July 1 Australian carried an extraordinary attack by Ilan Grapel on Green Left Weekly and its monthly Arabic insert the Flame titled “A willing ally to Hamas’s hatred”. Both publications are guilty of a “radical anti-Israel stance”, Grapel said.

But the Flame, “unbeknown to its English readers”, also allegedly “supports terrorist groups and promotes violence”.

Grapel claims that, through the Flame, GLW is “openly promoting extremism”.

They have since refused to allow the right of reply to the editors of either GLW or the Flame. Show your disgust by sending a letter of complaint to The Australian opinions editor Rebecca Weisser at weisserr@theaustralian.com.au, or phone (02) 9288 1634.
