I was wading through this BBC item called “Gaza crisis: Toll of operations in Gaza” and was struck by a number of things. There is the usual refusal of the BBC to call Hamas terrorists for what they are – “terrorists”. There is the sickening adoption of Hamas supplied figures to the UN for casualties, suggesting that all the 76% of those killed are women and children. Yet this is readily refuted here. In every previous conflict, and AFTER the event, we discover that the majority of the dead were HAMAS terrorists. But the BBC pumps out this biased poison with aplomb, doing the Hamas PR department’s job for it.
NO TERRORISTS IN GAZA..

“doing the Hamas PR department’s job for it”.
… sure do
HARDtalk, turns into softball, ends with tea and cakes
Khaled Meshaal – Leader of Hamas
Two immediate questions come to mind
1/. occupation? what occupation? …
2/. … why no end to rocketing Israel?
… explain …
If the bleat is occupation, refer to Question 1
Two immediate questions not even asked
yet Meshaal spent half the time, whining about it.
hmmm Hamas charter?
result, “horse and pony show!
Jeremy Bowan should have interviews Marshaal in Arabicso as nothing could be lost in translation.
Assuming of course that the senior BBC correspondent in the Middle East can speak Arabic of course?
Mailman
Has the BBC reported that Hamas has used children to help them dig numerous tunnels into Israel and Egypt, a 2012 revealed in a paper written for the Journal of Palestine Studies.
The paper, titled Gaza’s Tunnel Phenomenon: The Unintended Dynamics of Israel’s Siege says that little had been done to stop the phenomenon of child labour during the digging of the tunnels by Hamas in Gaza.
In December 2011, the paper’s author Nicolas Pelham accompanied a police patrol in Gaza and reported that “nothing was done to impede the use of children in the tunnels, where, much as in Victorian coal mines, they are prized for their nimble bodies.”
He continued and said that “at least 160 children have been killed in the tunnels, according to Hamas officials.”
Since the beginning of Operation Protective Edge 21 days ago, IDF forces have uncovered 31 tunnels leading into Israel.
Although not reported by the BBC we know that Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as human shields.
“But why would you report this when you are sitting in the middle of the Gaza Strip, surrounded by Hamas gunmen?” — Reporter covering the war, who asked not to be identified!! I wonder why?
Besides the human shields story there is another item that the BBC has chosen to ignore: the extra-judicial execution of Palestinian “collaborators” during the last two weeks. The executions were reportedly carried out in the most brutal manner. Hamas has been shooting suspected “collaborators” in the legs to prevent them from moving around…before execution.. And Israel is the bad guy?!!
The question is…. Is the BBC helping Hamas get away with war crimes?
As with the Jimmy Saville “cover up”, BBC senior management will continue to have full confidence in their appointed underlings work, until it is shown up as a load of unmitigated lies that can not any longer be covered up.
Lazy recycling of pally agit prop – seems there is significant doubt over the claimed Israel killing of “16 children in a mortar strike on a school ” ie none. Its all phony. It’s how Muslims conduct war. Western media news are enablers of Iran’s war on Israel through its Hamas proxy.
It happened with Saville. It will happen with Palestine. The BBC will live to rue dancing to the Guardian’s tune.
every post in this blog in the last 2 weeks have revealed one thing,the absolute anti semtism,racism and hatred that has been unleached within the muslim community stirred up by white far left towards the jewish community not only in the uk bit all over europe,this hatred towards israel and jews has been bottled up since the defeat of nazism in 1945,the genie in the bottle of anti semtism and hatred of jews has exploded since israel decided enough is enough of these hamas terrorists and have decided to take them on and finish them of for good,never be fooled when you hear the jew haters say that they are only against zionists,that is just a cover for blatant anti semtism and racism towards the jewish community,we in the uk must stand side to side in solidarity with isreal and the jewish community living here in the uk and stand up to those islamists and the far left who are spreading these message of hate and division within the uk towards isreal and the jewish community who are under siege at the moment from the racists and anti semites.
All too true sadly. I have heard views expressed that I thought I would never hear and by such nice people. At least they think they are nice.
I am in no doubt that the liberal dominated media has made such views acceptable.
I wonder if our nice liberal friends would be prepared to accept such vitriol directed at them even when the speaker is unaware just who he or she is talking to ?
This is a defining moment for our civilisation.
No Western government or police force can be trusted to stop this hatred towards the Jews and their nation.
Dark days are coming.
At the same time the Liberals are obsessing about some inane comment by Clarkson. Most of us missed the reference and they know it.
What we are beginning to hear expressed openlyagainst the Jews makes Clarkson look like Peter Rabbit.
I agree dave s.
I’ve said this before, that the BBC is playing an extremely dangerous game.
The BBC despise the Nazi era from WWII and seem unable to let go off their obsession about it.
I don’t think it was because of the Nazis aggression and persecution of the Jews though. I wonder rather if it is because Hitler/the Nazis favoured a pure Germanic race which is the crime of all crimes in the the BBC world of “multi-culturalism”.
What’s my point?.
My point is Hitler stirred up the German people with propaganda and look what happened.
The BBC are stirring up the public/sheeple with their anti-Israel propaganda and the scary thing is it’s “working”.
I have seen a number of anti-Israel posts from “friends” on Facebook.
Sadly, they don’t know what they’e talking about and their posts went unanswered but it’s a small mirror of what we’re seeing in the wider world.
The BBC are enflaming anti-semitism against Israel and I fear not only that the damage is done but where it is heading.
Of course there are no terrorists in Gaza. All Israeli casualties have been caused by unarmed civilians, mainly women and children.
Keeping things in perspective.
When the current conflict blows over the Hamas supplied casualty figures will be shown to be over estimated both to numbers and composition. By then it will be of no interest and the BBC probably won’t report on it.
Iraqi casualties so far in July: 1,322 civilians BBC coverage, essentially nil.

“How the Media Is Helping Hamas”

‘Under international law, Israel is still the occupying power in Gaza, although it no longer has a permanent military presence there…..It retains control of the airspace, seafront and all vehicle access – including deliveries of food and other goods. All movement in and out of the Gaza Strip is controlled by Israeli authorities, except, officially, the pedestrian-only crossing between Gaza and Egypt…’
A viewpoint on Middle East which INBBC censors out:-
Pamela Geller has 11 min video of Robert Spencer-
“Check out Robert Spencer earlier today on Newsmax’s Midpoint. He is dead on in his analysis on the Middle East, and it is criminal that he is blacklisted from CNN, FOX, ABC, et al, in accordance with Hamas-CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood demands.
“The enemy determines who you see and hear. The best are blackballed. The trimmers are given center stage. The fact is, we have been right — about everything.”
