Do you know what is the difference between Scott Morrison and Adolf Hitler? Oh, Hitler did NOT demand Pablo Picasso an apology for Guernica but Morrison DID!

Notice how the western media report this as a 'fake image'. It's a depiction.

I feel ashamed, angry and fearful that some one use my tax to murder innocent people. When they kill the child, Im not sure they will protect my child.

Now the media has successfully turned people's attention to China. Again.

It does fake image, cause there were 2 kids been killed

but i saw this

Even Hitler can tell a picture from a painting, Morrison can't, maybe that's the only difference between them

China ? Haha they’ve got a nerve. Human rights ? Doesn’t exist in China. I’d say boycott the Chinese. Don’t buy Chinese. Don’t send work to China. Let’s see how far they get.

A new low for BBC headline reporting. It's not the image that's repugnant, it's the actual war crimes. Slaughter of innocent civilians in far away lands. The culture and practice of what appears to be a seriously defective and deviant organisation, the Australian SAS.

Are you calling for the innocent children or only for your “political rightness” ? You don’t feel shame for telling the truth? Only limited your mind on a picture?

Now here's the response

'What's the difference between Australia and the Nazis?' 'Hitler never asked Picasso to apologize for painting Guernica.'

IT IS JUST A ARTWORK!

ScottMorrison

希望大家好好相处

It is not correct CARICATURE , because there were 2 innocent boys saw, but there is one painted. Should China apologize for it?

It's the responsibility of humankind to take down the crap of the white shits. And fuck the apology!!!

What a hypocrisy, aplogy for telling the truth?

yeah,you deserve a real image

excuse me, aplogy for what? Aus military didn't kill innocent afghanistan people?

Good luck with that. The CCP is a shameless administration that cares nothing about ethics. Why do you think we have a global pandemic going on right now?

Yep, the image is not correct. It is supposed to put 39 people or more in the image, since the Australian troop killed more than 39 innocent people.

It's not a fake image, it's an art work drew by a Chinese artist that reflects the actual war crimes Australian soldiers did in Afghanistan. How come Australia hasn't apologized to Afghanistan people?

Kangaroo poops in its pants. Panda: it is disgusting. Kangaroo: apology demanded.

i'm just wondering why everyone is acting like it's supposed to be an accurate piece of objective journalism. surely the artist has a right to his opinion ? isn't 'The West' supposed to be some sort of defenders of free speech ? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Australian soldiers did cut throat and murdered TWO 14 year old Afganis, pic is just an artistic represent of that fact. And someone just cannot deal with facts. What a hypocrite

Human rights in Australia 🇦🇺

But the meme was correct

If Scumo thinks the image is repugnant, perhaps he should ask how the families of the murdered civilians feel about their loved ones being systematically killed in cold blood. Bless them. ScomosGottaGo

China criticises Australia on its Human rights violations. China: 'Amateurs'

its not right to use a CG picture, he should use one of the real photos such as this one

BBCWorld you said you did it; we said you did it; you said we are not allowed to say you did it; but didn’t you do it?

I thought the Chinese were meant to be good at photoshop?

假消息!你给你出你的证据,你应该为自己作为新闻媒体而感到羞耻

China makes me laugh. They try to bully smaller countries like Australia and Canada around but when it comes to dealing with the Americans they are nothing but a bunch of chicken shits.

the real one

Morrisson...playing Puffy Chest... now add...Keeper of Morals...with his abysmal record... Under this government Australia has become... 'The Land of Oz...where nothing makes sense'

I understand solider kills in foreign land. I understand politicians never admitted. I understand some people always seeing irrupt as “helping”. Image if Afghan has army in Australian and US. Are you going appreciate?

BBC biased report. Australian upset, over China's images that showed 1 Soldier killed 1 kid...reality these 'Aus Soldiers' hunted and slaughter many Afghanistan kids and civilians. Hypocrisy while pointing at another, Not condemned own and why Aus War with Afghanistan?

We’ll just forget china made a deadly disease that has killed fucking loads of people

Resolutely protest against China’s interference in Australia’s internal affairs. The massacre of Afghan civilians is Australia’s internal affairs and has nothing to do with China

BBC ? ''fake news '' trump said

What is the sense of right or wrong? When the west did anything against human rights and democracy, they would cover-up, but they use these two 'tools' to accuse other countries when these countries do not follow their wishes.

China will not care about this white dog

Morrison: We cut the throats of 39 Afghan adults and two Afghan children! One of your drawings doesn't fit the facts. I want you to apologize

He will eat dust. China did state the facts. Respect freedom of speech.

the Chinese Foreign Ministry should apologize for its actions. The cartoons forwarded by the Chinese government are seriously inconsistent with the facts. Because the Australian soldiers killed a 14-year-old boy, not a child, meanwhile the boy didn't hold the lamb when killed

This is the result of ScottMorrisonMP incompetence. He tried to punch above his weight division for his mate Trump and it's backfired on him. Same like most of the work he has done his whole career Robodebt

The picture illustrates what the belt stands for in the 'belt and road initiative'. But demanding anything of China is nothing but bluster.

For China to lecture any country on human rights abuses is the height of grotesque hypocrisy. This is a shameful chapter in Australia’s military history, but we have exposed it ourselves, admitted fault ourselves, apologised ourselves. Our democracy should be celebrated for that.

Twitter takes down Trump Tweets, yet does nothing with commie fake posts.

STUPID SCOMO. Every country was thinking china should come clean on origins of corona virus. But none went charging in n demanding an investigation, bug STUPID SCOMO. We should have joined the group asking. But no, STUPID SCOMO, went charging in, like a MORON WERE SICK OF SCOMO

The Chinese gov. has lost face for all Chinese people around the world. Gov. corruption, crimes against humanity, genocide in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, detention of over 1 million Uighurs and other Muslim minorities all of that is only this week! ChinaLostFace

For the murderers, the murderers from the Australia army, who slitting throats of two 14-years old children, you don’t feel ashamed,but let the people who point out the murderers 'feel ashamed'. How shameless U are! We all feel ashamed on you, for your noShame.ScottMorrisonMP

It’s repugnant that China points out their crime.

Repugnant? Sure.

if you don't want criticism about your war crimes, don't do the war crimes.

As an Aussie I’m ashamed of what happened in Afghanistan. But China making a point about human rights is kind of like Ted Bundy lecturing on dating etiquette.

Its not fake image, its sarcastic painting.

Can anyone else see the hypocrisy?When the insulting cartoon of prophet Mohammad was posted up, France and other Western nations supported it, while labelling it 'freedom of speech' Why is this picture is to be taken down by twitter and an apology requested?

Repugnant? A cartoon image? Maybe people will go read the BreretonReport now. Everyone named should be jailed for life.

The pic is clearly CG so its not even a 'photo'. You know what wasn't fake? This video statement.

subhash_kak Reparations, China must pay a huge price for Wuhan Virus.

The Australian military is a Govt organisation. Employees of the Govt killed innocent people so the Govt should expect some backlash

It's not a “fake image” any more than a cartoon is a fake image. It's very obviously a symbolic image created as political commentary. The “fake” here is the lying BBC propaganda outlet's fake news.

How is it fake? You're still covering for your little convict I see lmao

'Fake' image? That was merely artistic creation lol. When it's from a Chinese artist it is no longer under the scope of freedom of expression, and has to be fake. - BBC

It ain’t from the truth! War crimes from the west! Disgusting

All I want to say is: Australia did indeed do these things, the media exposed all these things. Why Australia target a painter instead of their own criminal soldier?

What you can expect from bunch of criminal descendants ? War crime is their nature along with other quality you can find from a prisoner, Australia is a big prison and they should never let anyone out.

Engadine Maccas 1997

It's not fake

yeah right, like China ever apologizes sincerely😂

The rest of the world is not allowed to talk about crimes committed by Australian military?

The wu mao dang are all over this like the cockroaches they are. The west needs to transition away from China and towards boycotting them in total.

Well said by someone: China should apologise that they only put one kid on the pic. How about the rest 38 victims?

Where’s the outrage over 39 dead afghan civilians killed by Australian special forces? Wonder how many more civilians Australian armed forces have killed all over the world.

China responds by providing another 50 years of censorship and slave labor. 😒

Australian soldier literally slit throats of children in Afghanistan. Fact. China should apologize for reminding them the war crime. Lol

Let's face the fact! China is the true global loner!

This is already rejected by China government clearly .Australia shall apologize to Afghanistan people for sending their troops to other country and kill other country’s people! This is de facto invasion!

MF chinese thinks they are the pure people while everyday since ww2 killing Uyghurs, Tibetan and who ever spoke about their freedom...

This is just showing the double standard the west media have. This is clearly a created art work just like French comics. BBC labelled it as doctored photo to provoke the readers. Its a shame that the west media is less interested in the actual war crime than this art work.

It's funny that Australia ask China to apologise for China speaking out what Australia did…

Why should China apologize? They slandered Australia! How to slander? They repeated what Australia did~

It's just the prison of our UK...you should know...

It isn't fake , it is political speech and fair use. It depicts events that Australian Forces committed.

China is hypocrite

Didn't Australia killed Afghan civilians and prisoner? So it's okay for Australia to do so, but it's not permissible for others to talk about it.

The difference is China covers up the million times more people it kills, and murders those who dare to investigate, while Australia conducts its own transparent investigation to uncover these 39 yet proven unlawful killings of mostly enemy combatants in a war zone.

Australia ? No just Scott Morrison, the village idiot.

Will Australia apologize for killing innocent Afghans for fun?

Adolf Hitler demands Pablo Picasso apologise for posting 'repugnant' fake image,as known as Guernica

This is the most spiteful, immature and foolish government tweet in memory, worse than any by Trump. China will pay a heavy price for their stupidity in loss of face whether they apologise or not. Now, back to Uighur concentration camps

The picture's author said he will work out a new one as apology

China should apologise that they only put one kid on the pic. How about the rest 38 victims?

Had a chat with a friend in Quetta tonight: 'very offensive people in pak and Afghanistan hates Australians after they found the news about Aust & people put stamp on fence & Australia as racist to the Muslims bro' I told him pass on my personal shame and apologies for our crimes

These fake cartoon tropes of soldiers killing babies were last used for hate propaganda in ww1. Shame on China. They are getting dangerous and out of control.

I'm confused. Did Australia killed Afghan civilians or not? If they did, then what's wrong with Scott Morrison?

Nice one, China 👍👏🤗 HonTonyAbbott lisanandy TomTugendhat IoWBobSeely gordoncorera visit_wuhan Keir_Starmer 'Let's have another one'👇

name calling doesn't help anyone does it Australia.

Easy solution, deport all Chinese students here in Australia, deport Chinese embassy back to China, halt any imports and exports with China. We can do fine without the country that started COVID-19

Australia should apologize for the crimes it has committed! Instead of covering someone's mouth!

This is a fact-based creation!Please don't interfere with the creative freedom of others

Australia: I kill Muslim in Afghanistan for their freedom, just like how much I care about Muslim in xinjiang, China. LMFAO

AUS KILL AND china applogize?

Murder of 39 Afghan civilians.

恬不知耻的Morrison

USE THIS ONE

why?for telling the truth?

Only the gullible believe anything China do or say. The worlds pariah.

If I was working for a supermarket right now, I would be looking into how I could snap up the Australian wine at a good price for 2021

The whole world should slap a 200% duty increase on all Chinese goods!

It's true that the Australian army slaughtered people!!

Fake? Doesn't it draw the truth? Australian troops committed murders to innocent Afghan citizens including 8 years old boy. No wrong.

IT TRUE

It about all they can do...all anyone can do now that we're so deeply in their pockets.

Fake image of war crimes that actually happened?

What do you expect from a nation like China where Orwell's 1984 is everyday life. Communists China australia

Complaint against John Howard to the International Criminal Court via AusIndiMedia

Lijian Zhao is bullying Australia. Stand firm, Auzzie!

State media outlet.

China never apologize... Lol

How about some genuine outrage about the actual victims of war crimes?

apologize to the innocent civilians killed

🇦🇺:YOU should apologize to me! 🇨🇳:? Why? For what? 🇦🇺:For you told everyone what I did!

Not fake image, but computer-generated image depicting crime conducted by Australian soldiers

So he will be happy if the picture is true?

Why don't you think about your soldiers treating Afghan civilians?

Yes, it is fake image, because Australia killed human not goat

hahaha There are groups of rumor makers in Australia, they make rumors about China for living .

I'm confused. Did Australia killed Afghan civilians or not? If they did, then what's wrong with Scott Morrison?

Chinese artists have the right to expression and creation

The Australian army needs to apologize to the dead!

'you want me to drop this cunt?'

ARTISTIC FREEDOM

Who trusts the Chinese now a days? They are liars, cheats, controlling and manipulating. The whole world hates the Chinese government and its all their own doing.. the world is not fooled anymore

Maybe Australia should try not to commit war crimes

Australia be like: how dare you speak of the crime that I actually did.

Australia psychopath armies should be held accountable ! This is war crimes. Be ready to be sanctioned by the world

it's not a fake one, it's a true one. Australian soilders killed civilians in Afgan, the Australian media had revealed that criminal just in few days ago, everyone'd check it out. the MP accusation's completely aiming to hide their criminals.. Pathetic!

Morrison is upset by a 'fake' image which in reality symbolises some of the atrocities inflicted upon the Afghan people, give me a break. Morrison and the Judiciary should be concerned with punishing the SAS wrongdoers for the war crimes, not with a doctored image.

Australia should have avoided the 'repugnant' behavior at that time!

Calling a painting fake image,I want to know if Scott was kicked in the head by a donkey?😂

Why fake news? It is true that Australian soldiers have brutally killed civilians and children in Afghanistan. What about human rights?

I’m sorry, what

A taste a your own medicine is bitter. Hahaha!

Our 'free press' almost ended up in jail when they reported these crimes 2 yrs ago. And no 'the fog of war' and 'others do it' are not excuses. The govt tried to bury it. MacBride faces life in jail. Punish the killers, compensate the victims and quit the hypocrisy.

He's more upset about a fake image then the fact that it actually happened.

Has he lost his mind? He should apologize to the whole world for what his country did to Afghanistan!

Australia's 200 billion plus that it makes through China each year is about to get smashed.

Crimes against humanity is not repugnant but a mocked image by a Chinese official is?

Take a hike.

Can U talk more abt the bushfires? scottyfromarketing

I want to know if Australia apologized for what they did in Afghanistan? Shameless!

A fake image depicting something which actually happened.

He's more upset by what appears to be a mocked up image than he is by the actual atrocities that took place. What a great guy 😐
