Is it the "Guardian" of Judea or Observer of Zion? Lefty

While reading at Gilad Atzmon's I stumbled across a post of his, linked below. After reading through I knew the article he referenced was linked here when it was first published! Although it dealt with a previously covered topic it was nice to see the subject get such a prominent mention in a more broadly read outlet then my little blog. Sadly, that article cost it's author Nafeez Ahmed his job, for daring to point out the simple fact that Israel covets energy wealth that belongs to Gaza.

For Shame!

"GA: Being the subversive mind who coined the above observations, I wasn’t surprised to read the following expose by Nafeez Ahmed. I urge you to read this superb piece of Journalism.  The Guardian is clearly a mere symptom of the colossal ethical bankruptcy of the ‘liberal’ and whatever is remaining of the Left.  It is a glimpse into the Kosherization and the corrosive impact of Zionists in our midst."

How I was censored by The Guardian for writing about Israel’s war for Gaza’s gas

"After writing for The Guardian for over a year, my contract was unilaterally terminated because I wrote a piece on Gaza that was beyond the pale. In doing so, The Guardian breached the very editorial freedom the paper was obligated to protect under my contract. I’m speaking out because I believe it is in the public interest to know how a Pulitizer Prize-winning newspaper which styles itself as the world’s leading liberal voice, casually engaged in an act of censorship to shut down coverage of issues that undermined Israel’s publicised

Gaza’s gas

I joined the Guardian as an environment blogger in April 2013. Prior to this, I had been an author, academic and freelance journalist for over a decade, writing for The Independent, Independent on Sunday, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Scotsman, Foreign Policy, The Atlantic, Quartz, Prospect, New Statesman, Le Monde diplomatique, among others. 

On 9th July 2014, I posted an article via my Earth Insight blog at The Guardian’s environment website, exposing the role of Palestinian resources, specifically Gaza’s off-shore natural gas reserves, in partly motivating Israel’s invasion of Gaza aka ‘Operation Protective Edge.’ Among the sources I referred to was a policy paper written by incumbent Israeli defence minister Moshe Ya’alon one year before Operation Cast Lead, underscoring that the Palestinians could never be allowed to develop their own energy resources as any revenues would go to supporting Palestinian terrorism.

Gas resources exist off Gaza’s shore

The article now has 68,000 social media shares, and is by far the single most popular article on the Gaza conflict to date. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, Israel has seen control of Gaza’s gas as a major strategic priority over the last decade for three main reasons.

Firstly, Israel faces a near-term gas crisis — largely due to the long lead time needed to bring Israel’s considerable domestic gas resources into production; secondly, Netanyahu’s administration cannot stomach any scenario in which a Hamas-run Palestinian administration accesses and develops their own resources; thirdly, Israel wants to use Palestinian gas as a strategic bridge to cement deals with Arab dictatorships whose domestic populations oppose signing deals with Israel.

This article that unbelievably caused Nafeez to lose his employment at the "liberal" Guardian was used by myself in this post from July 10/2014 IDF's Gaza assault is to control Palestinians Gas. And so much more In that July piece I had relinked older posts on the same topic to demonstrate that what Nafeez had written was widely known, having been covered by others elsewhere, without dispute.

However in an alleged news outlet such as the Guardian, with many readers, this factual truth must have just been a bit too much for the "Guardian of Judea" (I just love Gilad's observation) Lefty/Liberal  censorship when it comes to Israel is equally as subservient as that practiced on the Righty/Conservative side. No facts. All politics. Sick.
