Debbie Schlussel: Spectator of UK & Jerusalem Post Cite Schlussel
I'm sometimes asked why I want credit for my work. It's like asking you why you should get paid for yours. Or why an artist should get credit for his/her painting or paid for it. I work very hard on what I write, and recognition is the lifeblood of this business. If you don't get credit for your work, you're howling at the wind.
That's why I appreciate those who do give credit, the latest being the prestigious Spectator of London and the Jerusalem Post.
Brilliant Spectator columnist Melanie Phillips (who is also author of "Londonistan") cites my writing on Islamic Relief Worldwide, a HAMAS front group "charity" (which gets tens of millions of dollars in aid from the Mormon church). Read her entire column, "The Real Agenda." As usual, she is right on the money.
Then, there is our friend, investigative reporter Michael Freund, who is usually the one uncovering scoops around the world for the Jerusalem Post and his blog, Fundamentally Freund. He cites my story on Roseanne Barr's support for HAMAS.
Thanks, Melanie and Michael, for recognizing my writing.
