What of tax payer funds spent, on misinformation about muslims?;
As Media Watch’s Paul Barry explained this week, in mid-July, Abramovich sent a photo to radio station 3AW and then gave an interview in which he claimed the photo showed a Hamas flag being flown in Melbourne’s Fitzroy Gardens.“Antisemitism and the glorification of terrorism have gone mainstream in Melbourne”, he told 3AW host Tom Elliott. “Hamas terrorist supporters have hijacked the public space.”
A day later, the Herald Sun ran an article based on the false information, leading its headline with another Abramovich quote – that the flag was a “declaration of war.”
The problem? It wasn’t a Hamas flag, as Media Watch confirmed with several experts fluent in Arabic. One told Media Watch the flag was one often carried during commemorations of the Shi’a Muslim holy day of Ashura. An Ashura event was taking place in Fitzroy Gardens on the day the photo was taken.
