If Trump’s takedown of whackjob journos is like a sledgehammer, Murray’s could be compared to a surgeon’s scalpel.
This woman thought that being in the interviewer chair gave her more power than it actually did.
South Africa, as we have reported elsewhere, is solidly on the Iran/Palestine side of the conflict in Gaza, which is hardly surprising considering they are now pretty solidly in Russia’s political/economic orbit as well.
South Africa is the country that — outrageously — has led the charge in official criminal complaint to the International Criminal Court that Israel has been responsible for ‘genocide’ among the Palestinian people.
With that as a backdrop, Douglas Murray, was interviewed by Eyewitness News anchor Jane Dutton (Al Jazeera) on the question of the allegations being brought against Israel. It is worth mentioning that Murray has personally visited the war zone in question since the conflict began in October.
As you might imagine, he was not taking the bait. More than that, he took charge of the interview and took the journo — and her audience — to school. Importantly, some of the things he had to say to her might have been completely new to her audience.
You will see why that matters when you watch this 8 minute masterclass of how to refuse to play a journalist’s game.
It should be illegal for Douglas Murray to be put up against an Al-Jazeera journalist. Another masterclass.pic.twitter.com/unZjarHMiI

This is right up there with those legendary videos of Jordan Peterson running circles around Cathy Newman, or more recently, when Trudeau’s conservative rival Pierre Poilievre’s viral moment where he was eating an apple and thoroughly dismantling a journalists ‘gotcha’ talking points with a few simple questions.
She tried to have as a baseline fact that Israel were moral monsters intent on wiping out the people of Gaza, while Gaza were (somehow) the innocent victims of aggression by a hostile occupying power.
Time and again he called her on the BS and did NOT let her move on from the point until he had corrected her misinformation.
Take note conservatives: even a corrupt media can be forced to acknowledge the truth… if you do it right.
Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.
Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.
This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
