I know that the BBC is trying to improve it’s reporting in the Middle East however the following article has zero Israeli viewpoints published
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/7263142.stm
I was wondering where the impartiality was in this story?, the article also fails to mention that Hamas were predicting 40,000 Gazans to turn-out, whereas they managed to muster 6-7,000 which was rather a lot less than the Serbs managed today in Belgrade, which has been almost overlooked by the BBC.
Come on BBC try and find some balance.
Oops!, the BBC to be fair does have another article mentioning that the turnout which Hamas had predicted would have 50,000 particpants was not very poorly attended.

Still the first article is given over only to Palastinian views, in fact the first person interviewed is from a group called ‘Popular Committee Against the Siege’, who I imagine is not your normal Gazan citizen.
And of course buried almost at the bottom of this article is the news that a Israeli boy was hurt.
Anyone see Newsnight?
Dopey scottish bint doing an interview with Rod Liddle, that prat George Monbiot and the BBC’s “Ethical man”
4 lefties talking about climate change and recycling. Typical unbalanced BBC article.
Funny thing was that Monbiot admitted he now owns a car!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable! This prat used to be on radio 5 every 5 minutes attacking people who own cars. Now that master of double standards admitted HE OWNS A CAR.
He used the excuse that he needs it because some places don’t have public transport. No shit. Tell us something we didn’t know.
He also claimed that as the car was “secondhand” there was no extra CO2 produced.
Bollocks. Old cars produce MORE CO2 because they have older more inefficient and worn out engines than to modern cars.
It makes MORE sense to scrap old cars and replace them with new fuel efficient cars.
The fact this prat kept a straight face through the article just makes me laugh.
