When Israel was defending itself from Muslim fanatics in Gaza you’ll remember the BBC bombarded us with the story 24/7 demonising Israel every second of the day. However, after a couple of days they’ve got bored of the mass-slaughter of Christians in Iraq and have moved on. I have deleted two Muslim acquaintances on facebook because deep I now know they support those barbarians in iraq. I was complaining of the bias coverage of Hamas and said that the BBC have been downplaying the genocide in Iraq by comparison; i also highlighted how moderate Muslims are very quiet in their protestations. All of a sudden one of these Muslims was on my timeline shouting about how ‘Israel is a gangster terrorist state and that isis is nowhere near as bad and that they have been caused by the west…’ and so on. I told them both to ‘F**k off,’ called them isis supporting scum and deleted them. I don’t think you trust many Muslims… I think deep down they hate the west.
Welcome to reality Brother.
This seems to have slipped under the B-BBC radar although as it is categorised as ‘Entertainment’ that may have been the BBC’s intention.
BBC to broadcast DEC Gaza appeal
Nothing like the hoopla that accompanied the BBC Trust’s decision not to broadcast the last appeal. What has changed since last time?
Did anyone catch the broadcast? iPlayer doesn’t work outside the British Isles so I am in the dark as to contents. The British Red Cross described it as Gaza and Israel Appeal so I’m curious if that curious piece of false advertising made it onto the screen.
I’m not interested in heartlessness exchanges with moppet-porn groupies, so if any are minded to try on such a basis, I won’t be engaging.
However, I am interested in the rules and precedents at play. And when these things can take place, when not, and why.
At any one time there is going to be something shitty going on in the world, and more often than not the human condition will have caused it or made it worse.
So the question is as much who decides what qualifies (or not) as much as in what way.
Like Superman saving a runaway train in the ‘hood, but letting the nuke take out that other place as he was then off dancing the night away with Lois to celebrate.
What makes this disaster more disastrous than others, as there clearly is a cut off point. Otherwise all broadcasters would be emoting 24/7 and no ratings to earn pennies for market rate salary negotiations.
The BBC claims to be unique, but as with too many other things, they seem to respond very quickly to the herd call if it suits.
If this, why not all others? Who chooses? And if that gets stuck in an FOI exemption loop I will wet myself laughing.
I do note this:
‘However, it is thought the BBC will shoot its own version of the emergency appeal, rather than take the version offered by the DEC.’
Meaning what? Extra Jezza, Jon, Wyre and Orla to ‘enhance’ the narrative?
Certainly such as this doesn’t encourage on objectivity:
‘More than 1,800 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and more than 60 Israelis, mainly soldiers, have died in the current conflict.’
Says… who, especially on the definition of ‘mostly’ and ‘civilians’, beyond total absence on context as to how actual innocents may have met their end.
‘An estimated 520,000 have fled their homes in Gaza following air strikes and rocket fire.’
Can’t help themselves, can they?
That surely should be ‘following indiscriminate rocket assaults provoking targeted air strikes of launch sites’.
If this is the calibre of ‘appeal’ the BBC is involved with I can only presume DEC is as we speak organising a volume discount with Hamas’ favoured rocket supplier.
and what about all the people in southern Israel who fled north ?
My Facebook news feed was just graced with a ‘Suggested Post’ (ie: someone paid them, a lot, to insert it) that was… how best to describe it… a war crime ‘claim’ by some Gazan outfit purporting to be news.
Not sure it had the desired effect as the comments did not serve their intended message well, many from what I’d guess was a usually empathetic audience base.
If this is where funding is being devoted, on top of astoundingly uncurious willing ‘reports’ from such as the BBC, appeals for more money for more of the same may well suffer if the provenance chain of donation to those clearly in need is not made a lot clearer than the usual Children In Need efforts.
I’d also like the BBC’s BFF social media buds at FaceBook to explain what measures they take to avoid any old thing going through their servers so long as it has enough $ attached.
It was only advertised here as a DEC appeal for Gaza, hence off switch.

Fun & games in the comments already.
I alighted more on this:
‘If the daily grind of those Eastenders living in Albert Square offends you, watch another television channel.’
There are many likely not offended by the activities of fictional characters created to drive ratings, but there may be a fair few less than thrilled that, to watch that other TV channel (live at least), they still are compelled to pay for Mark Byford’s comfy dotage, the BBC pension pot shortfall, Lord McAlpine’s compo, the settlement for the guy fingered by the remainaing market rates for DMI, etc…
BBC now calling these Isis vermin ‘rebels’. And very sad news about Robin Williams’ passing, BUT the BBC just had to get Obama’s name plastered all over the report.
As a matter of interest, if it was George W Bush, John McCain or Mitt Romney paying tribute to Robin Williams, would you have a problem with the BBC giving coverage to this?
ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
What you mean in the same way if it was them, you would be mocking and poking fun[like the entire BBC comedy output for the last umpteen years ] at them ?
Is it my imagination or have the BBC only really descided to pay attention to the atrocities of the ‘Islamic State’ since those atrocities have been carried out on the Yazidis? They were curiously quiet when those children being beheaded were merely Christians…
YES! I noticed this over the last couple of days: The majority of their reporting centres on the Yazidis’ slaughter but VERY little mention of the fact that thousands of Christians have been annihilated, too. They’re a disgrace! They even now use the term ‘religious extremism’ to describe Isis!
How self-congratulatory, self-indulgent and sanctimonious these lefty-luvvies are… who gives a sh*t if a man wants to dress up as a woman, but please spare us the gushing faux adulation:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-28743536
Willfully naive, just like all libtards.
I am pleased you have a new man in your life as I like everybody to have someone to make them happy AND it may mean you post less here. But don’t stop posting altogether as a little ridiculous posting brings a bit of light relief.
But how do we know you’re not the phoney!
Don’t let the he man get you pregnant, and I don’t think homosexuality officially exists in the Islamic world, so I think most Muslims would agree that your friend must be a white middle-class convert, and therefore racism does not come into it. I would expect you Scott, should also convert to Islam, but I do not think this would save you from the future British Islamic State death squads, because most Muslims have a problem with people like you.
But I do not have a problem with people who cannot reproduce due to a misdirected sexuality, as it is probably caused by hormones in the Water supply in the Thames area.
“…I don’t think homosexuality officially exists in the Islamic world.”
It exists – and how. As a gay man myself I have many gay friends, some of whom work for well-known international airlines. Some of those airlines fly to the Gulf States. You wouldn’t believe some of the (true) stories I hear from (male) cabin crew regarding the sexual peccadilloes of those Arab businessmen. One of my friends, a cute young black guy working as cabin crew, has been prepositioned several times actually on board the aircraft by these sexually repressed Arab men, and even offered money for sexual favours.
It seems there’s as much sexual and moral hypocrisy in the Arab-Islamic world as anywhere in the west, but almost certainly far more repression and closeted queers.
Why has BBC News spent so much time and given such priority to the death of Robin Williams. I glibly suggested to my son that it was so they could spend less time telling us how the nasty Islamic State Muslims are killing people. But is it because they are obsessed with celebrity or is there some other reason?
I was wondering exactly the same thing – just been listening to Radio 4 News and they went on, and on, and on. I have to say that Williams was never one of my favourite actor/comedians – I found him a bit of a pain. What made it worse this evening, was the news that Marcus Brigstocke says that Williams influenced him in his decision to go into “comedy”. Comedy? Brigstocke? do me a favour…
So Marcus Brigstocke made the decision to go into comedy. Any indication as to when he intends to commence?
he was a life long supporter of the Democrat Party. Im sure that this is just a coincidence as to why the bbc has gone overboard in their reporting of this mans death over the plight of Christians in the islamic world suffering genocide at the hands of barbaric muslims.
They’re competing for the freebe places to go to Hollywood to cover the funeral. Only 126 places left.
And in other, actual, BBC-related news…http://tradingaswdr.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/word-puzzle.html
Just a word of course, but BBC inquiries have been launched on less.
Maybe if all the senior talent, and market rates managing them, simply stopping saying or writing stuff?

Engage away chaps, all 141.. 7, 200+ of you!
Oh, what a nasty site this is. I’m out of here. Bye
OK, don’t let the door hit you on the backside as you leave!
arse, he meant arse.
Rofl.!
The latest BBC ‘pay your tv licence’ add is very, very, black.
Is that in a genre critical sense, or a profiling one? Either way, the BBC may again find itself in ironic territory.
Black like a certain flag?
Islam Not BBC (INBBC) politically designates the Islamic State (ISIS) as merely ‘militant’, not as the Nazi, S.S, fascistic-type, mass murdering Islamic jihad organisation it is.
So, can we expect INBBC to give broadcasting propaganda space to it, while Americans Geller and Spencer, opponents of Islamic jihad, remain banned from U.K?
“Islamic State supporters give out leaflets in London hailing the caliphate”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/08/islamic-state-supporters-give-out-leaflets-in-london-hailing-the-caliphate/comment-page-1#comment-1101759
C4News was covering this well . For a change.
Unfortunately the C4 interviewer allowed the Muslim spokesman to make a moral equivallence between Isis and the IDF in Gaza.
This is just intolerable and he should have been called out. It is also very detrimental to the peace in this country. The Christian Speakers’ chaplain is correct. What is happening in Iraq is evil and when, as sometimes happens,, evil appears in the world then we have no choice but to combat it.
There is then no time for liberal handwringing and moral debates. It is one of the liberal Westerner’s blind spots- a failure to understand that in this world there are evil people and evil days.
“of course we condemn Isis,
(uh oh! taqiya alert)
… but!” ……….. (told ya!)
I have to say it was pretty obvious it was a fake. It was not even amusing.
Whoever did it was just being stupid.
Ignore the attention-seeking troll
BBC news at 10 didnt even mention the genocide of christians in iraq, however, over on itv they reported muslims are murdering people, beheading men and driving around with those heads on their cars and the IS driving christians completely out of iraq
what a disgraceful organisation the bbc is in minimising the damage to their beloved islamic terrorists.
The bloody Islam obsessed BBC may distort reality but the rest of the World knows only too well what is happening by Islamic mayhem across the globe. I signed this petition recently (and I ignore anything on the BBC) as they cannot be trusted in peace or war. It’s all propaganda or silence to the ‘blob’.

According to INBBC lies:
Nazis + Islamofascists + Islamic jihadist mass murderers of Islamic State =
‘fighters’ + ‘militants’ + ‘rebels.’
At least they dare not call them “freedom fighters” …
for now.
‘The Times’ (£) Wednesday-
“BBC’s 100,000 TV licence letters a day”
[Opening excerpt]-
“The BBC is sending out almost 100,000 enforcement letters each day demanding payment of the licence fee. MPs and campaigners rounded on the corporation last night as it emerged that more than 46 million letters have been sent out by TV Licensing in the past two years.”
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/medianews/article4174711.ece
Second class stamps that’s £23 Million.
Perhaps a hospital could have been built with this, or used to reduce hospital waiting lists, or alleviate effects of the so-called ‘bedroom tax’? Not want to report this BBC?
“Secret files about BBC reporters vetted for their links to communism during the Cold War ‘were shredded in the 1990s'”

I think that even the Labour party is beginning to realise that Lord Hall and his cronies passionately believe in Communism. That’s why they are the last people left defending the idea that there needs to be no change to the way that the BBC is funded or administered.
If the PEOPLE are not forced to pay for the BBC, then Communism will also collapse at the BBC.
We can’t trust any Muslim in a position of power. When the chips are down they’ll put religion over country.
put, what they call, “religion” over
… EVERYTHING.
It is not “religion” …. it is totalitarian, encourages fascistic supremacism, paedophilia, discrimination, hatred, has brainwashing indoctrination and threatens death if you leave … it is a cult.
It has its cult leader, and praises the brainwashed, who kill others, and its own for its aims.
It s been the most dangerous threat to the non cult for over 1400 years, and is particularly a great threat today.
It’s Breakfast…it’s Robin Williams day two.
…and Lauren Bacall day one…
BBC TV News:
“GOOD MORNING…. YAZIDIS!”
“You know how whistle don’t cha Hamas? Just put your clips together and blow”
Endless endless foreign bang-bang calamity and celeb soap.
I don’t know how many readers were able to listen to the interview on Radio 4 with John Major, about his time as PM.
He came across as left wing as Ed Milliband! Pro mass immigration (based on his knowledge of immigrants of the 1950s!) wishes he’d spent more money on the NHS, and social housing, more money on education, and not happy with the Euro sceptics in his party who he thought simply failed to see the consequences of another European war.
No wonder he became one of the most hopeless out of touch PMs of the 20th century, although why Cameron choose to follow him instead of Margaret Thatcher is baffling !
Has Robin Williams died?
I don’t think so. If he had, I’m sure the BBC would have mentioned it.
The BBC briefly reported that the United Nations Human Rights Council has appointed an “independent commission” to investigate claims that war crimes have been committed in Gaza, though it chose not to look too closely at who will be on it. The commission will comprise William Schaba, a Canadian “ international human rights professor” who has been calling for the indictment of Netanyanu for several years; and Doudou Diene, from Senegal, who is a “UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related inteolerance”. (And surely the world could never have enough of those.) To continue with the balance, they also named Amal Alamuddin, a “British/Lebanese human rights lawyer and activist” but she has declined the invitation. This must be a disappointment to the UN because she is on record as saying, “I am horrified by the situation in the occupied Gaza strip…and strongly believe there should be accountability for crimes that have been committed”. (Not, please note, crimes that have allegedly been committed.) Though they will, of course, find someone else with similar views, sorry, someone else with similar vast experience. An “independent commission”? Yea, right.
‘Amal Alamuddin, a “British/Lebanese human rights lawyer and activist” but she has declined the invitation.’
And her being ‘too busy’ for this UN job must also be a great disappointment to the BBC

Foreign bang-bang, human rights lawyer, Holywood celebrity, Anti-Daily Mail… all in one package.
This lady is Chritsmas, Eid and Ramadan all come together.
