I was reading Abu Bowen’s latest insight into the Gaza conflict and I was struck by his admiration for Hezbollah. I’ve added a few comments of my own into his commentary As he puts it “Hamas fighters, (Aka Islamic terrorists…DV) who know Gaza better than the Israeli troops, have a belief in resistance and martyrdom. (Terrorism and homocide bombing…DV) Their objective will be to give the Israeli army the same humiliation (Humiliation, mmm, interesting unbiased choice of word..DV) that Hezbollah inflicted during 2006. For all their bravado, (Hiding behind women’s skirts..DV) Hamas are unlikely to be as formidable as Hezbollah. (Less Iranian munitions..DV? The rocky, hilly terrain of south Lebanon was not good for Israel’s armour. Gaza, on the other hand, is flat and sandy.” Goodness, if it weren’t for the terrain….
HAMAS GOOD, HEZBOLLAH BETTER!

I’ve no objection to biased BBC reporting about Hamas or anything else. I am able to pick and choose news sources that I consider reliable and unbiased and that’s why I don’t use BBC news.
I do object to being forced to pay for the BBC’s dodgy down market news just because I want to watch football on Sky TV without getting a fine and a criminal record.
Pete,
Yeah, their bias is fine by me but I object to paying so much as one penny for it.
Hopefully Bowen will get slotted one day by the Israelis.

What a horrible thing to say on this the Christian holyday.
Seeing as we are all supposed to be Christians here wouldn’t it be a lot better if the Mr Bowen was giving a TV interview from Gaza and we all heard the words “Allah Ackba”
(Think about it)
‘Think about it’ said Pounce.
Oh God, you’re not turning into Atlas Shrugged are you?
And does anyone else find the slideshow of Gaza pics on the News front page slightly heavy on ‘tank fades to screaming child’?
I am unsure if this is only happening in the Netherlands, our Government have come out and supported Israel, and the general opinion of Dutch citizens is that Israel was wronged and is defending it’s citizens.
If I watch our version of the BBC it seems we also have our version of Mr Bowen, however, our Mr Bowen seems to be stoned whenever he appears on TV, his reports on the conflict are as one sided as Mr Bowen’s.
Could I also add that 99% of the Muslims in the Netherlands are fully assimilated into Dutch society, why is it that the UK has such problems?, after all the Netherlands has a higher proportion of Muslims than the UK.
Chuffer I haven’t a scooby do what you are on about. I assure you I am nothing but a decent peaceful (Ex) Muslim who wouldn’t harm a flea.
(Damn caught out lying again again I placed one spot on the cats neck the otherday. Must be my nature)
I’ve been driven to watching Fox News lately as I don’t feel like hurling things at the TV/Radio as with most other stations. For example, today the noon bulletin on BBC Radio London included a quote from Gordon Brown – to the effect that Israel should immediately stop its Gaza op (leaving out the part about Hamas stopping rocket fire) & a long quote from some UN palestinian ranting on – & that was it. Nothing – not one iota – from the Israeli viewpoint. Balance/impartiality has gone completely out of the window.
Well, sorry, their bias is NOT fine by me. It is ILLEGAL. They are the state broadcaster, and these antisemitic scum are in breach of their charter.
Does the tosser Bowen have ANY military experience? Israeli tanks made mincemeat of the Syrians in the Golan Heights in 1967.
Seeing as we are all supposed to be Christians here
What smug nonsense. Some of us are Jews, some of us are atheists.
I hope Bowen gets slotted, yes, but as far as I am concerned I don’t give a fig whether he steps on an Islamo-Nazi rocket or gets hit by an Israeli F16.
I don’t mind if Bowen dies of old age. It’s what circle of hell he should reside in that bothers me?

Holland happens to be one of the most civilised countries in the world.
I believe the Czechs are broadly supportive of Israel – they too are a highly civilised country. I have always admired their book-learning and humility and patience.
Great Britain is ‘led’ by a bunch of self-serving, greedy gangsters, who have done nothing since 1997 but destroy the country for personal gain and self-aggrandizement. That’s the reason for our problems. That, and the dumb electorate who falls for the snake-oil salesmen’s lies. Once is unfortunate. Twice is stupid. Three times is the mark of illiterate losers.
Bill, since I don’t believe in heaven and hell I do prefer him to die excruciatingly as soon as possible.

Turning into Atlas is an occupational hazard of posting here. I do it myself sometimes, so I’ve been told.
No, I don’t believe either. It just seemed nice to picture his possible torment.

At the risk of being a bore, I’ll repeat that I want none of them dead. They should remain fit to stand trial for incitement to murder or, short of that, for aiding and abetting terrorists.
Eindhoven: 99% assimilated? Unlucky for Theo van Gogh that he happened to bump into that pesky 1%… On the other hand, you have yet to sink to the level of the UK, I suppose.
Just watched an interview with Nick Clegg who insists that the violence must end immediately. “THIS IS NOT THE WAY! The problem cannot be resolved militarily! blah blah blah.”
At the end he throws in as an afterthought, “of course Hamas must stop the rockets too.”
They must think stopping the rockets is as easy as pie, just a matter of a heartfelt plea from Annie Lennox, or perhaps if we ask them again, but more nicely. Gordo said something very similar. It has eluded all these great intellects that this defiance by Hamas, this intransigence by Hamas, is the very reason for this particular Israeli offensive.
And not only that. It has escaped them too, that in the long term both Hamas and Fatah are committed to destroying, obliterating or subsuming Israel. How stupid can they be? How stupid can we be for letting them get away with it. And voting for any of them.
Sue, stop being such a patronising twit. You are not my mother or teacher. I will respond to snide comments about ‘We are all Christians now’ as I jolly well see fit. You don’t like it? Tough cheese.
Anat, I would like nothing better, if it seemed remotely likely in this dhimmified country.

Anat (Israel) | 04.01.09 – 5:22 pm
I agree with you. I have always said that objecting to paying the telly tax is well and good, but my main objection to the BBC’s bias is that its output still holds sway with the general public. So what it is doing does amount to incitement, and aiding and abetting terrorists.
The headlines should have been “Thousands march in support of Islamic extremism”
Well done BBC; you have marshalled millions just like Nazi Germany did in the thirties. If your campaign against western values succeeds, you will have helped destroy the freedom you took for granted.
So I strongly object to the BBC bias, not just the compulsory telly tax.
Clegg is a 7th-rate nonentity, about as useful as a cardboard bucket (or David Millipede or the One-Eyed Jock). But yes, the blame lies squarely on those who vote idiots, lunatics and gangsters into office, as the airhead voters of this country have been doing since 1997.
Pounce, I was referring to that ominous phrase ‘Think about it’ with which Atlas finishes his, er, opinions!!!
Oh and I see Dreary Oxfordian is back, still unable to grasp irony as a concept. Odd, for a fellow with such towering intellect.
If you wish to se what is really happening out in Gaza and can’t trust Al Beeb.

He is one of those guys who can’t even take I AGREE WITH YOU for an answer, without picking a fight.
I see some fuckwit Muslim on BBC News 24 just called the israelis ‘a Nazi regime’
Fucking thick bearded wankstain.
If you don’t like it here boy, fuck off somewhere else.
I heard one of these “war is not the way” wanking on on Radio 5 a few weeks ago. When asked how he’d sorted out Hitler just gave the “we’d never have allowed Hitler to get power”
How exactly? Go and sing peace songs to him?
A good story for the BBC from Jerusalem Post
Hamas moves on Fatah ‘collaborators’
35 Palestinians killed by Islamists, 75 shot in legs in the past week “to ensure they don’t help Israel.”
Let me know when BBC talk about ‘The religion of Peace’

That’s sort of funny in a hideous perversion of the truth.
As a MATTER OF FACT is was precisely the 1930s equivalent of this so-called anti-war moron who allowed Hitler to rearm and start WW2.
It was the BBC which wouldn’t allow Churchill on its airwaves to warn the British people about appeasing the Nazis.
Far from NOT allowing Hitler into power, it was the same dreary nonsense implemeted by the 1930’s doppleganger of this “wanker” that led DIRECTLY to the biggest mass murder and slaughter in history.
These morons have no knowledge — and even less shame.
And don’t even get me started on Stalin and the commie swine.
CNN are carrying live pictures from their correspondent Michael Oren on the Israeli/Gaza border. He is about to enter Gaza.
He has given one of the most straightforward commentaries I have heard.
He also happens to be an IDF Reservist Para Lieutenant who has just been called up.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t impart some of his wisdom to Bowen.

What were you saying about Holland?
Nearly Oxfordian:
Sue, stop being such a patronising twit. You are not my mother or teacher.
Oh, Nearly Ox! Please, let me keep on be a patronising twit.
How can you be so sure I’m not your mother?
P.S. Mother knows what you’ve been up to. Who’s been a naughty rude boy round Harry’s Place?
Just watched a bit of news. 2 Pali kids were slotted (apparently) by the evil ‘joowz’
So lets get this right. In the middle of a military engagement you’d let YOUR kids play on the roof of your house?
I don’t think so. Not unless Pali’s are really really thick bastards………
I also heard some beeboid shit whine on that Pali’s don’t have bomb shelters. Well rent boy users most UK homes didn’t in WW2 either. You made your own!!!
Deep down the shrill BBC are frightened as to what the long term outcome of this might be.
In the same way that Iraq has not become the outright disaster the BBC secretly hoped for, getting rid of Hamas and staying on top of them may lead to beneficial outcomes for the peace-loving Palestinians, who are in the majority.
I look forward to the BBC having to report such outcomes while holding their noses and gritting their teeth.

Steady, Sue. Dreary Ox was lecturing me some months ago about my wife’s virginal status on our wedding day!
Re Martin’s comment above, I saw the same interview with Mohammed Shafiq of the Ramadan Foundation – absolutely appalling
He was, apparently, being interviewed to give the views of the UK Muslim community. His opening line was to liken Israel to the Nazis and then launched into an anti-Israel diatribe.
How the BBC can give airtime to people like this I don’t know.
JR: That bloke was a complete wanker.
Oh and I see Dreary Oxfordian is back, still unable to grasp irony as a concept. Odd, for a fellow with such towering intellect.
Go and bugger yourself, dimbo.
Ditto Jack Bauer, obviously a 5-year old retard who can’t see the stupidity in picking a fight with me for no reason and then whining that I ‘pick fights’.

The BBC’s ‘Strictly Come Political Dancing’ -about Hamas;
-Just now, on BBC News 24 TV, from Gaza area: Dancing in the Political Dark – a BBC classic: BBC’s LYSE ‘humanity’ of the Taliban’ DOUCET interviews her Beeboid chum, JEREMY (what Hamas jihad?) BOWEN, as they enjoy a outdoor night-time chat about the wonderful ‘resistance’ of rocket-firing Islamic jihad Hamas aggressors.
I also heard some beeboid shit whine on that Pali’s don’t have bomb shelters.
Martin | 04.01.09 – 7:04 pm | #
Nobody ever gave me a bomb shelter either. In Israel, you simply cannot get a building permit unless you include in the plan a bomb shelter at your own expense. Contractors can’t sell a flat unless it has a bomb shelter approved by the Home Command, and of course the buyer pays for it.
During the Lebanon war, some Israeli Arabs complained that, unlike the Jews, they don’t have bomb shelters. What they forgot to mention is that this is because they skip building permits, and if they consequently get a demolition order then they call in the BBC !
.
Martin: agree, a rabid one at that.
(Also, btw this is the same chap was making a fuss a month or so ago those lego terrorist figures since he claimed they glorified terrorism!)
I have complained to the BBC (for all the good it will do).
If you think the BBC is bad – and it is – I heard a “reporter” on the C4 evening news say that Israel had “selected, targeted and killed two children.” I was astonished.
The newsreader did subsequently interview an Israeli defence / security minister who did not know any details about this alleged incident but mentioned the possibility of a tragic mistake. I am still astonished at the blatant wording of the “report”, though.
This is from another UK publicly owned broadcaster which is touting for public funding and which some say should get a slice of the infamous licence fee.
This trashy station should not get a penny of public money and rather than the telly tax being spread among propagandist organisations, it should be cut to ribbons, as should both the BBC and C4.
Nearly Oxfordian:
If you were in a room on your own, you would end up in an arguement!
