I get an awful of of email to B-BBC and 99.9% of it is a pleasure to read and I regularly post some of the numerous excellent observations. However every now and again I get mail from deep inside Arkham Asylum and here is one I am choosing to share with you whilst protecting the identity of the author.
“Whatever you might say about the prehistoric crackpot Islamists it`s pretty obvious they were NOT running Britain from Wall Street and from Israel during the last century.
Whereas the entire global economy and media are firmly in American/pro-Israeli hands,and so is the BBC!
Name one other group (other than America`s beloved Zionists and the IRA)that could behave like the Israelis without attracting NATO bombing raids and having their leaders on trial in a court of international justice?
Anyone can see that the overall stance of the BBC is pro-America to an embarrassing degree,and being pro-America automatically means that the Beeb a pro-Israeli organisation.
The most likely outcome of your pro-Israeli stance at Biased BBC is that you will get another six million innocent Jewish people killed like Wall Street did when it sowed the seeds of Nazism by wrecking the global economy in 1929!
Israel cannot survive in it`s present form.The Muslims will simply wipe it off the face of the Earth.
Get the westerners pretending to be biblical Jews back into the western world before they are all killed playing at being King Canute!”
UPDATE; I received this a short time ago……
“Biased BBC is not a critic of the BBC in itself…it`s
yet another mouthpiece of Zionism and Americanisation.I totally agree that so
called minorities get far too much say in what the Beeb thinks and does but the
idea that Jewish people and Israel get a rough ride is preposterous.
There are far too
many Jews contributing to BBC programmes
and any criticism of Israel is very muted.
I totally agree that the
BBC is a pro Islamist and pro Zionist organisation….and its pro
American obsession is absurd…..but it`s NOT pro-British.It completely
suppressed news of the protests in Israel recently while it`s CIA-run Egyptian
spring was covered intensively. Mubarak and his CIA torture chambers were
supported and run to keep Israel afloat
in a hostile Middle East.
Unlike most of your contributors I am British and have a
Welsh name.Could I kick the English and others out of Wales and declare a
Celtic homeland with the assistance of public money from Europe and the USA? Of
course not…only Zionists/Israelis would get away with that!
Are there any English or Celtic contributors to your
Zionist blog….they all sound like Yanks and Israelis?No wonder the BBC
carries on regardless if you are its main critics!”
Come on, DV, this is really the summary of an upcoming BBC documentary, right?
Is this for real or a parody? Please tell me nobody is that off-beam.
It’s real. I do get them from time to time!
I’m beginning to think that I’ve heard that mohammad never existed but that he was a Kaiser Sosay (The Usual Suspects movie) figure for other nefarious bodies whose purposes are clear to see. And if he didn’t exist then the koran is a fake too.
Surely not even Dezzie or Scotty would be this crazy. You’ve really got a fruit-loop here David. If this is the BBC being pro-Israel and pro-USA then I cannot fathom what it would claim if it went anti.
I’m fascinated how King Canute gets a mention in this fantasy, I had never realised that he was a kosher viking. I can just imagine him sitting there with his crown and yamulke “Enough with the waves already.”
And as for sowing the seeds of nazism in 1929, when the party was already some 10 or more years old is hilarious really, well it would be if it wasn’t so stupid. One belfry short of a few bats I think.
At least the person who wrote this seems genuinely concerned about the lives of Jews. That’s a marked improvement over the actual BBC. Can’t remember a Beeboid ever referring to an Israeli Jew as “innocent”.
“Israel cannot survive in it`s present form.The Muslims will simply wipe it off the face of the Earth.”
Clearly he/she is an Islamophobe – Islam is a religion of peace, after all.
What is worse, he/she is an Islamophobe with an irrational fear of possessive pronouns.
I read this and thought-“sarcasm”
maybe even “irony”
but I re read it and thought-“utter cretin”
behaving like Israelis do eh?So,defending your borders and your prople is a crime then……well obviously among the criminally insane it is anyway
how about addressing these real rogue states for a refreshing change?
China,North korea,iran…….no?
shocker!
Jews Say Yes
Some 70 years after high school students, shopkeepers and doctors stood with their backs to the wall of the ghettos and sang, “Never Say You Walk Upon Your Final Way” while reloading their pistols, a rally organized by “Jews Say No” gathered to protest against Israel for defending itself.
The Partisan’s song of the ghettos was a courageous affirmation of life by those who went off to fight in Warsaw and in Jerusalem. And today there are the ugly chants of those who deny that affirmation. Who insist that the Jews are better off dead. Their rhetoric cloaks this agenda in the occupation,
Jerusalem Post columnist Larry Derfner wrote on his blog that, “the Palestinians have the right to use terrorism against us.” Of the terrorists who killed eight Israelis last week, “however vile their ideology was, they were justified to attack.”

The global Left, this includes even Jews, have embraced the idea that Israelis have no right to defend themselves.
To whoever penned the above missive as posted by DV.
“Whereas the entire global economy and media are firmly in American/pro-Israeli hands,and so is the BBC!”
Would that be the world economy which is currently been led by the likes of China, Korea and other Asian tigers. And a media which see’s RT, Aljazeera and Press TV reporting in the UK.
“Name one other group (other than America`s beloved Zionists and the IRA)that could behave like the Israelis without attracting NATO bombing raids and having their leaders on trial in a court of international justice?”
Lets see:
Arab/Israeli war 1948 : 15000 Arab casualties , 6373 Israeli causalities
1967 Six day war : 24000 Arab casualties, 983 Israeli casualties
1973 Yom Kippur war: 18500 Arab causalities, 2800 Israeli causalities
1982 Invasion of Lebanon: 28,000 Arab causalities, 657 Israeli causalities
First Intifada: 2162 Arab casualties, 160 Israeli causalities
Second Intifada:5516 Arab causalities , 1063 Israeli causalities
2006 war with Hezb-allah,1191 Arab causalities.165 Israeli casualties.
2009 war with Hamas. 1417 Arab causalities, 31 Israeli causalities
Add them all up, come in at 95,000. Lets round it up to 100,00 in which to include all those people shot dead by Israel on a one by one basis. So since 1948 (63 years) Israel has killed around 100,00 Arabs. Of which over half have been during wars it didn’t start.
Now lets look at the neighbours.;
Eygpt got embroiled in the North Yemen war in 1962. A war which claimed over 100,000 lives. In fact during this war, Egypt resorted to using Gas warfare in which to kill over 1500 people.
In Sept 1979, the PLO tried to take the kingdom of Jordan by force, King Hussain fought back and in the resulting blood bath over 20,000 people were killed.
Syria, in 1982 the city of Hama rose up against the Assads, they sent in the tanks and killed over 40,000 people
Iraq, in 1988 Saddam Husain decided to gas the people of Halabja resulting in the deaths of around 15,000 people
All of those countries cannot be deemed as free and anybody who dares makes a fuss (even today) is more than likely to disappear. Yet the fact remains with the exception of Saddam Hussein (who was judged by his own people) not one person has been vilified , never mind attracted the attention of the World about how they treat the little people. But they are not alone, look at Sudan, Algeria, Libya ,Turkey, Pakistan, all of whom have killed hundreds of thousands of people and yet nobody demands we do something about it. In fact with the recent exception of Gaddifi all of the leaders of those last few countries are lauded as world statesmen. But all have more blood on their hands than Israel.
And I only received a Grade 1 CSE History
Not forgetting all the muslim countries that are killing Christians without restraint. Including Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, Syria and all those other wonderful sanctuaries of islamic peace.
And Rowan Williams wants Sharia Law…the Bishop of Oxford wants muezzin calls to prayer…and no one says anything about the fact that there are no plans for a Cathedral in Jeddah…and neither of these two cringers and apologists would be allowed to set foot in Mecca or Medina-and nor could we!
Jesus must wonder why he ever bothered to stay up on that cross when the likes of Williams and Pritchard presume to speak in His name!
That would be a degree these days, a CSE(1).
Terry Deary in and David Starkey out…and that`s what we get as history.
“I only received a Grade 1 CSE History“
That’s OK – I suspect our emailer’s degree is in post-rational discourse
WHAT A CNUT! Well he’s certainly crackers (it must be a he) but also shows ignorance: Cnut was a good king of England and his commanding the waves isn’t what most people believe…
Brilliant update. It’s people like this who cause the BBC to think their coverage of Israel is perfectly balanced, as they get complaints from both sides.
This reader sounds like the virulent anti-Israel zealots who used to comment here as “ndm” or “ady”.
They do enjoy the “we get complaints from both sides, meaning we are completely impartial” argument, don’t they?
Yes, and without anyone knowing the number of complaints or how coherent or incoherent some of them are, it’s an impregnible defense for them.
Hats off to you mods running the shop – must be hard to deal with the non members of the reality based community.
Saying that, this one’s a hoot. Pro US, pro Islamist and pro Zionist.
I suspect someone’s managed to send emails from their institutional Playstation3.
Check meds and given the opportunity, DNR.
BBC is a pro Islamist and pro Zionist organisation
Quote of the year.
Evidence of mental health issues, right there
“Are there any English or Celtic contributors to your Zionist blog…”
Yep. I’m English. Next wacky question, please…
Yep, I’m English and half-Celtic.
Well I’m called English but my spirit guide says I’m a Lutheran Viking pacifist with full blown Vogon tendencies and have a full collection of mind defence equipment and tin foil so if any one can put me in touch with the above one true believer of the beeb then we can swap abduction story’s !
soz sarc!!
Typical BBC-er has to bring race into it !!!!
OK. Your correspondent is a nut but check out the latest installment of the Israel and Palestinian territories country profile http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/country_profiles/803257.stmhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/country_profiles/803257.stm– certifiable.
The division of the former British mandate of Palestine and the creation of the state of Israel in the years after the end of World War II have been at the heart of Middle Eastern conflicts for the past half century. Certifiable bullshit! Most of the conflicts in the Middle East had little or nothing to do with Israel. For example, the French-Algerian War, the Iran-Iraq war, the Morocco-Western Sahara war and let us not forget the Arab Spring.
The creation of Israel was the culmination of the Zionist movement, whose aim was a homeland for Jews scattered all over the world following the Diaspora. After the Nazi Holocaust, pressure grew for the international recognition of a Jewish state, and in 1948 Israel came into being. Culmination? Everything went downhill afterwards? Following the Diaspora? The Diaspora wasn’t an event but a condition and predating the Roman occupation. The reader could easily believe (and I suspect this was the purpose) that there was no efforts to form a Jewish state before 1945. The best one could say about this paragraph is sloppy and confusing.
Much of the history of the region since that time has been one of conflict between Israel on one side and Palestinians, represented by the Palestine Liberation Organisation, and Israel’s Arab neighbours, on the other. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced, and several wars were fought involving Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Much of the history has been of Israel building up a modern, democratic state with a strong economic base. The PLO was only formed in 1963 and just how much it actually represents the Palestinian s is a matter of dispute especially after Hamas became a genuine rival. BTW why are Egypt, Syria and Lebanon left of the map? Hundreds of thousands of Jews from Arab countries were also displaced and mostly absorbed by Israel. As were a million Jews from the former Soviet Union.
Palestinians in the West Bank, including east Jerusalem, have lived under Israeli occupation since 1967. The settlements that Israel has built in the West Bank are home to around 400,000 people and are deemed to be illegal under international law, although Israel disputes this.
What BBC article on Israel would be complete without this boilerplate?
