    I highly doubt that the western media will even criticize Austria because of this. They’ll likely just slander him as a Russian bot or Hamas sympathizer or some racist shit.

      The western media is in full support of what’s happening here I imagine. They might slander him if this news becomes mainstream, but more likely they will ignore it entirely. I can’t recall reading anything in the MSM about Ali Abunimah’s arrest.

        Uncountable journalists have been killed in Israeli bombings and the “journalists” have not even pretended to give a shit about it. Western mainstream media does not have an honest bone in its body.
