It is a terrible sin on the part of Australia that a nation which prided itself upon upholding justice and freedom in its actions in battle and in its courts has allowed antisemetism to flourish by naming an enemy of Israel a journalist of the year.

i HAVE been to ISEAEL and if more people would take the trip, they would find the most considerate and loving people. i was there for several days and became very good friends with my bodyguards and others through them. these are good people, trying thier best to survive and claim and take care of what GOD gave THEM! how time magazine could allow something like this is beyond explanation. i will never read it again! also, i consider the people of ISRAEL MY FRIENDS AND BROTHERS . THEY WILL SHARE WHAT THEY HAVE WITH YOU. EXPLAIN ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY ASK OF THEM, THEY EVEN SHOPPED FOR ME WHEN IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DO SO. I CANT THANK THEM ENOUGH, SOME DAY I WILL LIVE THERE AND I CANT WAIT!

Paul Mcgeogh is Irish. I’m not certain if he holds Australian citizenship. He works for a very left wing media group and certainly portrays middle eastern events with a definite anti-semitic point of view. When he reported on the war in Iraq he displayed a very biased anti coaltion viewpoint. he is one of the usual suspects. Also the Walkely award is awarded by left wing journalists to other left wing journalists. It has no credibility!

McGeough should be reprimanded for biased and incorrect journalism, instead of being rewarded by Walkely. The video film which any interested jouranlist could view clearly showed that the Israeli soldiers came on board for peaceful prevention of the breaking of the blockade, as they did – peacefully – with the other boats. However, the so-called “innocent” people on the Mavi Marmara attacked them with knives and metal bars, and were not kneeling for prayers but in readiness for attack with the many arms that they took with them on this so-called innocent flotilla. The travellers brutally attacked the Israeli soldiers, and even threw an unconscious one overbaord – certainly with evil intent!
Shame on you for rewarding McGeough for his false, disgusting journalism, which should certainly not have been printed at all.
