Jakarta Post Trumpophobes? Give ‘Em Mirrors For Xmas!
Dehumanization still prevails, as evident, for example, in United States President Donald Trump’s warning about using violence to keep immigrants from the country’s poor neighbors at bay… https://www.thejakartapost.com/academia/2018/12/22/a-silenced-night.html
WHAT A LOT OF RUBBISH!

Skip the telling omission of the key adjective ‘ILLEGAL’ that should always be lodged securely in front of the word ‘immigrants’ in discussion of the Honduras Horde.

Skip the omission of the fact that even Mexican citizens on that border have demanded that those crimmigrants be sent back to where they belong.

There’s nothing at all ‘dehumanising‘ about any head of state taking responsible steps to defend his country’s sovereign frontiers.
America has more than enough undesirable aliens without importing more.

I’m sure the American Ambassador in Jakarta will have been advised of this insulting JP rant and one hopes he will compose a corrective letter to whichever of that coy clique, the ‘editorial board’ of the Jakarta Post, he can put a name to.
It’s VERY telling that whoever wrote their offensive tripe felt it prudent not to sign it, preferring to hide behind the anonymity of the ‘board.’
What it tells us is that the Jakarta Post’s ruling clique is no more courageous today than it was when it held its collective tongue on its pay-masters’…
…the business empire, Kompas Gramedia, of which the JP is part –
…collusion with sectarian zealot book-burning, an outrageous Nazi-style assault on freedom of expression.

Any newspaper purporting to be concerned with ‘dehumanisation’ would have erupted in editorial thunder when that took place.
But not a peep of condemnation from the Jakarta Post ‘editorial board!’
Whether their sickening silence was because they approved of the bigots who aped the followers of Adolf Hitler…

…or because they cowered from upsetting the collaborators in the parent company, who knows?
But it certainly disqualifies that sad section of the Indonesian media from pontificating on what is ‘dehumanising.’

Perhaps somebody should run down to the shops tomorrow and buy a bunch of mirrors, so that every member of the JP board can make good use of them on Christmas morning.

Or else use the above JP link to their ‘editorial’ and ask the anonymous clique, via the comment column, why their ‘Christmas Message’ includes not only a rant against Trump, but a one-side witter about ‘Palestine’ – with no mention of Hamas terrorism?.

Ross, we all know and have known for years that the Jakarta Post crawls if the Islamist fanatics come calling.
I remember another time the jihadists were demanding censorship,something about the ISIS flag, and the management had them in for coffee.
Unreal!
Of course the JP hates Trump and cheers on the illegals.
But I bet none of that board have invited any of those Rohingya that landed up in Aceh to come stay in their expensive apartments or houses.
