The BBC does not bother its audience with the complexities and horrors of the conflict between Palestinians and Israel but instead offers  a vision not unlike Warsi’s and Clegg’s where Hamas are the heroes and Israel the villain.

Sayeeda Warsi and Nick Clegg are both eager to disarm the Israeli Defence Forces.

They don’t like the Israeli approach to self-defence as illustrated here…far too much disproportionate force….an unarmed little man being herded like an animal by a Jew at the point of a bayonet:

 

 

But they do seem entirely unconcerned about the all too likely outcome of their disarmament policy…strip the Israelis of their right to defend themselves and they swap a proud uniform for concentration camp pyjamas…the pogroms have already begun in Europe thanks to the willfully misleading reporting from the likes of the BBC:

 

 

From the Telegraph:

Moshe Dayan, then chief of the general staff, put it succinctly in 1956, in a eulogy at the graveside of a kibbutznik murdered by Arab infiltrators: “For eight years, they have sat in the refugee camps of Gaza, and have watched how we have turned their lands and villages, where they and their forefathers previously dwelled, into our home… Beyond the furrow of the border surges a sea of hatred and revenge… Let us not fear to look squarely at the hatred that consumes and fills the lives of hundreds [of thousands] of Arabs who live around us… This is our choice – to be ready and armed, tough and harsh – or else the sword shall fall from our hands and our lives will be cut short.”

[What does Hamas want?]

Like Isis in Iraq and Syria, like al Qaeda, the Shabab in Somalia and Boko Haram in Nigeria, it seeks to destroy Western neighbours.

The Nick Cleggs of this world, who call on Britain to suspend arms sales to Israel, are their accomplices. It’s as if they really don’t understand the world they live in, like those liberals in Britain and France who called for disarmament and pro-German treaty revision in the Thirties. But the message is clear. The barbarians truly are at the gates.

 

 

Today, standing in solidarity with the Warsis and Cleggs of this world,  the BBC proudly publishes photographs it has taken from Jon Donnison’s Twitter feed….you might think that there must be something wrong with the BBC’s guidelines if it allows its journalists to use Twitter to promote a terrorist organisation…seems not though.

In pictures: Faces from Gaza

Images taken by the BBC’s Jon Donnison in Gaza reveal the experiences of ordinary people amid the Israeli military operation to destroy tunnels and rockets used by militants. To see more of Jon’s pictures, follow him on Twitter @jondonnison.

 

No context at all from the BBC….just the usual stream of photographs of injured and despairing people, children mainly, designed not to bring you the facts to allow you to analyse the situation but intended to impact you purely on an emotional level and turn you against Israel.

Perhaps BBC reporters should have their own award, one that marks them out as those whose contribution to the breakdown of civilisation and the rising tide of anti-Semitism has been duly recognised…….something that reflects their integrity, professionalism and balanced, impartial reporting……

 

 

 

Here, from that previous Telegraph article, Benny Morris asks where is all that missing context in the Media?:

Israelis might argue that the (relatively) lightly armed Hamasniks in Gaza want to drive the Jews into the sea; that the struggle isn’t really between Israel and the Palestinians but between little Israel and the vast Arab and Muslim worlds, which long for Israel’s demise ; even that Israel isn’t the issue, that Islamists seek the demise of the West itself, and that Israel is merely an outpost of the far larger civilisation that they find abhorrent and seek to topple.

But television doesn’t show this bigger picture; images can’t elucidate ideas. It shows mighty Israel crushing bedraggled Gaza. Western TV screens never show Hamas – not a gunman, or a rocket launched at Tel Aviv, not a fighter shelling a nearby kibbutz. In these past few weeks, it has seemed as if Israel’s F-16s and Merkava tanks and 155mm artillery have been fighting only wailing mothers, mangled children, run-down concrete slums. Not Hamasniks. Not the 3,000 rockets reaching out for Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Beersheba. Not mortar bombs crashing into kibbutz dining halls. Not rockets fired at Israel from Gaza hospitals and schools, designed to provoke Israeli counterfire that could then be screened as an atrocity.

 

A vivid description from Benny Morris which perfectly outlines the likes of the BBC’s coverage which is shallow and unsophisticated, meant purely to persuade rather than to inform.

 

What the BBC deliberately avoids is the likely outcome should Hamas and its fellow travellers prevail and succeed in overrunning Israel.

What would Donnison’s Twitter feed look like then?

Here’s a bit of minority reporting from the future that attempts to predict that future…….a ‘future’ just as plausible as the BBC’s ‘present’ as depicted by its coverage of events in Gaza……

 

 

 

      

 

 

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You may think that is a scenario that is way over the top, and hopefully you’d be right.  Islamist Hamas would never go that far…would they?

Then again….look at Syria and Iraq…….500 people being buried alive, Christians forced to convert or die, thousands executed in cold blood, severed heads held aloft by 7 year olds, whole peoples threatened with extinction and genocide.

Look at the Fogels, look at the 3 teenagers abducted and murdered on the orders of Hamas….look at the planned invasion of Israeli villages through the tunnels in September with the probable intent to kill as many Israelis, military or civilian, as possible.

They are capable of it.

The BBC’s journalists seem to be working, by design or stupidity, towards giving them the chance.

 

Tony Hall must be immensely proud of his swarm of highly trained journos bringing the complexities of the world to us in such simple but lucid and intense reports of the fighting between Hamas fighters and the IDF, the rigorous investigations of casualty figures, the many photographs of Hamas fighters firing from the vicinity of schools, hospitals and mosques,  the accurate analysis of who fired what when, the revelations about the massive transportation of goods into Gaza even as a war rages….the BBC isn’t just some cheap propaganda unit churning out Hamas friendly material…it brings you the truth.

 

Doesn’t it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Warsi resigned from the government complaining bitterly about the government’s lack of action in holding Israel to account and its failure to stop Israel conducting anymore military operations.

It was all about Israel.

Indeed Warsi wanted to in effect disarm Israel leaving it unable to defend itself.

That of course doesn’t look too good…a Muslim demanding a Jewish state be disarmed and held to account for its ‘war crimes’….when she makes no similar demands about Syria, ISIS or Boko Haram.

 

And it was all about Israel as this interview on Channel 4 quite plainly shows.

 

However a few days after resigning she has clearly recognised the stance she has taken has made her look at the very least, anti-Israel and pro-Hamas ….looking very ‘morally indefensible’ herself.

To salvage her ‘moral’ position  she was given another bite of the apple by the Today programme on Saturday….interviewed by Mishal Husain.….suddenly not just Israel but Hamas has to be held to account for its actions and arms must be prevented from being supplied to Hamas as well…..what about Fatah, Hezbollah, Iran and Syria?

So now we know,  she wasn’t just having a go at the Jewish state. Clear?  Good.

On listening to the interview you might think Husain did an OK job…she asked some awkward questions and kept at it when Warsi tried to dodge answering….especially about whether the resignation was political.

However other questions weren’t asked…ones that are just as, if not more relevant.

When asked why she had resigned just as a ceasefire had been negotiated she said that the ceasefire didn’t hold and her hopes were dashed.

But Husain didn’t then jump in and make the obvious point that it was Hamas that broke the ceasefire…so why is the government’s position towards Israel the problem?  Isn’t it the Islamist Hamas that is the instigator of all this violence?

The biggest question though would have been ‘Did you resign because you are a Muslim?’

Warsi has been stating quite clearly that Gaza has ‘radicalised’ Muslims in the UK so it is fair to ask her if she has been ‘radicalised’…in her own way…..blocking attempts to tackle Muslim extremism.

She complains Cameron doesn’t tackle Israeli ‘extremism’ and yet she herself was the problem here at home:

Baroness Warsi is alleged by multiple sources in and out of government to have consistently resisted calls to develop a proper strategy on integration and tackling extremism at its roots, even though this is the Prime Minister’s policy and part of her job at the Communities and Local Government department. One source says: ‘Sayeeda made clear when she got the job at CLG that she didn’t agree with the Prime Minister and that she simply wasn’t going to do this bit of her job.’

 

A follow on question to that would have been…‘Are you suggesting British foreign policy be driven by those who make threats to bomb or otherwise attack the UK?’  because that was seemingly what she was saying should happen in her coded message about radicalisation and this not playing ‘domestically’….and by domestically she very specifically meant in the Muslim community….‘the British response to the crisis in Gaza will have a long term “detrimental impact on our reputation internationally and domestically”.’

Warsi was without question saying the government’s policies towards Israel should be guided by what the Muslim community thinks….the subtext to that being…or else they will become radicalised…and who knows what would happen then…..though,  as in her C4 interview she links it all to British recruits heading off to Syria and ISIS,  you can see her meaning.

Just what are those ‘consequences’ she speaks of ‘at home’?….’our current policy on Gaza is morally indefensible that it is not in our interests, not in British interests and that it will have consequences for us both internationally and here at home.’

 

The Interview by Husain on one level was quite good but as always with the BBC, on certain taboo subjects, failed to ask the really nasty, awkward questions that get to the truth….not that C4’s interview was hard hitting in the slightest…..accepting Warsi’s claims about Israeli actions as completely legitimate.
