Meet John Lyons, Oz's Demonizer Non Pareil of Israel

Isi Leibler describes the Australian scribbler's M.O.:

Lyon’s reporting relies on untrustworthy and highly prejudiced sources. He utilizes false testimonies from Arab propagandists and extreme Israeli leftists. He quotes disgruntled retired Israel officials and highly questionable human rights organizations. 

He even goes so far as to include obscene, uncorroborated accusations that Israeli soldiers beat a child “to a pulp.” 

Lyons fails to grasp the asymmetry of the Israeli-Palestinian political situation, which thus leads to a distortion of facts. In Israel, journalists enjoy freedom of the press to pursue every angle and dissect every possible Israeli misstep. In the corrupt, anti-democratic Palestinian Authority, where there is no freedom of the press, they are manipulated by propaganda and lies.
