This was his sin, speaking the truth about the Lebanon War. And they needed a scapegoat to somehow explain their beating. Latterly I've learnt of another reason, which I'll explain further.

Political-correctness is far too powerful, even on the "free" internet. In Canada they cannot even question the holocaust publicly without being accused of some "hate crime", and America is beginning to lean toward the same laws that contradict free speech and press that have already been adopted in Canada and Europe. If you cannot question the majority's "orthodoxy" what happens to freedom of conscience and real liberty?
