Extremist/Moderate - Western doublespeak

I don't keep up much with all the stats of wars, even as they are. I don't agree with going back into Iraq simply because it's a complicated civil war that Australia should never have been involved in in the first place. New Zealand never went to Iraq, and was never part of an illegal "coalition of the willing" as Australia was.

Bob Ellis however does use some stats, and makes a clear point about the propaganda coming from western leaders. It doesn't make any kind of sense, yet we're all supposed to believe it like dumb lemmings.

We are told that Saudi Arabia is a ‘moderate Muslim state’ though it has beheaded more women, in the past six months, than ISIL. We are told that Israel is a moderate state though it has killed in the past three months 450 children, and Hamas, which is called ‘terrorist’, has killed no more than two Israeli children in twenty years. America is supposed to be ‘moderate’ though it killed, or prenatally mutilated, six million people in Vietnam and Cambodia and assisted into paupered exile four million Iraqis including all the dentists. more
