But I do not expect that much of him or other Western journalists in the first place. Is it really fair to say his journalist contributions on other issues should be thrown to the wind over his statements about the White Helmets?
Oh, please, Amith. Blumenthal and Ben Norton for that matter will go unscathed because they get called out for writing lies. The only people pissed at him are Syrians and who cares about them?
Here's the deal. Any journalist who writes lies should get called out whether it is Judith Miller or Max Blumenthal. In fact, up until now there has only been minor carping about Blumenthal who mainly wrote obnoxious Tweets about Syria. But this article is truly toxic stuff, filled with half-truths and outright lies. When you write shit that justifies Assad's genocidal attack on Aleppo, that is no different than Tablet or Hillel defending the IDF bombing in Gaza. I reserve the right to blast the Israel lobby and the Baathist amen corner.
