Antony Loewenstein, who previously said we should "spare the celebration over Bin Laden's death" feels otherwise about celebrating Christopher Hitchens' death.

Enough with the praise, Hitchens loved the smell of dead Muslim flesh in the morning

Here's a Loewenstein headline a year ago:

Hitchens loves the smell of Muslim death in the morning

Poor Antony who can't even remember his own work, must be terribly jealous of Hitchens' writing ability.

Antony's Father threatened to destroy his family with a letter published in today's Australian, or "Murdoch's Australian" as Antony would call it, praising The Oz.

From despair at the perception The Australian only publishes what might be described as pro-Israel pieces, your newspaper is to be commended for publishing John Lyons's articles dealing with how the Israelis treat Palestinian minors.

If there is to be any sort of resolution of this Israel-Palestinian conflict, the world needs to know what is actually happening on the ground in the region.

I'm pretty sure he's never commented on his own kid's blog. Then again, Antony may have just censored it.
