Why does the BBC not report the death-cult Jew-hatred that airs on Hamas TV? http://t.co/iMkoSWujEa, http://t.co/9IezfW3WKG @HughSykes

@4d2b @allanholloway Maybe because #genocide blog was so surprising (& retracted), but the bile of those videos is routine and nothing new.

And yet totally and completely central to the whole Israel/Palestine question….Hamas intends to wipe out Israel…..the BBC refuses to report that…..Hamas launches rockets in their thousands and Israel defends itself…..BBC reports Israel the aggressor…..Public demand anti-Israel action.
BBC has utterly failed in its job to educate and inform people of the real context to events and why Israel fights Hamas….leading to rising anti-Semitism, especially in Europe, and increasing attempts to undermine Israel as a nation state.

That seems a very significant exchange with Hugh Sykes. It needs wider circulation ?

The notion that what is ‘not news’ ((c) A. Newsroom Tealady, and now Mr. Sykes) for the BBC includes ‘routine’ material such the above, is very much news to me.
And, I suspect, a few others.
Our Hugh may come to regret that little dismissal attempt, at least in such unfortunate terms.

That’s a load of bollocks! Reporting that bile on al beeb would absolutely be new because I don’t ever recall al beeb reporting Hamas death cultism previously?

Always a joy to see Douglas Murray on telly.
He was briefly spotted between Kirsty Wark and that tartan windbag Ming Campbell…but hardly allowed to speak-and certainly without being shouted down and harried by the useless wark.
Anybody keeping tabs on % time given over to anyone who dares to speak up for Israel?…% interruptions and canards thrown about by opposing speakers as well as their BBC handlers…sorry “interviewers”.
An utter disgrace this interview-but Murray must know the score before he goes onto such loaded anti-Israel sites of Hamas suckings like the Newsnight Show.

Unfortunately for my blood pressure I watched the BBC
10 pm “News”report from Gaza by Orla Guerin. (Does anyone else get infuriated by her droning voice?) Following showing the terrible devastation and suffering of the poor Gazan’s she finished her report with IDF troops singing on bus. Very subtle ..not.. The only missing item was the following…Do you agree? Gazan militants about to attack the Nazi’s?

GALLOWAY TO LAUNCH PUBLIC ENQUIRY INTO BBC
[Reader warning: Link to Respect Party website]
This could be fun. The Bradford West MP had previously announced that he is refusing to pay his licence fee until the BBC demonstrated a more impartial standard of broadcasting on the conflict.
Another Russell Commission?

As hoots go, that is a full owl sanctuary.
‘he will establish his own public enquiry’
His own enquiry, eh? Public taken as read being Gorgeous. Let’s see who covers this.
More interesting is the other stuff in there which will rattle the BBC’s cage as it goes beyond ‘offending all equally’ balance issues, namely the fee protest and this:
‘The BBC has been dogged by scandals in the past year and has faced questioning on its integrity, from the child abuse scandal to questions about executive pay-offs, with licence fee payers increasingly turning their backs on the institution in favour of other media outlets.’
That is essentially apolitical and fact-based.
Ouch.

And surely Galloway will be allowed to summon witnesses-him being Palestinian Royalty an` all.
And , of course, a good pretext for George to find out who lives where, and to forward any details of their daily routines to his Bradford buddies.

To the BBC the hatred towards Jewish is “mundane.”
They have, internally, normalised such bigotry. Speaks volumes about the BBC mentality and how they are unfit to be a public broadcaster.
