Before we begin, here's what the US investigation of the USS Liberty - having concluded that Israel's attack on the US spy ship was an accient - said about anyone who would ignore the overwhelming evidence that they compiled:

And now here's what Australia's The Age recently allowed to muddy their opinion page:

We love the phrase "If blank did..." It allows you to get away with making the most baseless insinuations and then jumping to wild conclusions. "If The Age is run by a bunch of viciously anti-Semitic Martians hell-bent on enslaving humanity, we have to make the hard decisions and nuke them immediately". Jagoffs.

Anyway, the slow infiltration of the Anglosphere - the birthplace and home of circumspection as a cultural value - is actually becoming a little troubling. We expect vicious demogaugoury from certain European circles - not a few authors have noted that anti-Semitism is almost palpably in the air on the Continent. It occassionally condences into wild swings of public opinion, but what's happening here is a little different. In Britain and Australia it's much harder to get public opinion moving - but it's also harder to alter its course once it picks up a certain inertia (h/t: MR reader Lana)
