John Pilger wins 2009 Sydney Peace Prize

The jury’s citation reads as follows: 'For work as an author, film-maker and journalist as well as for courage as a foreign and war correspondent in enabling the voices of the powerless to be heard. For commitment to peace with justice by exposing and holding governments to account for human rights abuses and for fearless challenges to censorship in any form.'

This is a prize that Hanan Ashrawi has won a few years back but the mayor at the time, the despicable Zionist groupie Lucie Turnbul, refused to hand the prize stating that Ashrawi is a supporter of terrorism..And now Pilger wins it..Good! A prick in the eye of the Israel Lobby in Australia.
