As many have noted in the comments the BBC, at least on the web, has completely ignored the ransacking of a Tescos store by mostly Muslim ‘Asians’ in Birmingham….’a group of Asian men holding Palestinian flags came walking in and starting to push products over and getting aggressive with staff and shoppers.’
The BBC does however have this as their top story from Birmingham:
Thousands at Eid Mela celebration
Organisers say they thousands of people to attend Birmingham’s Eid Mela celebration.
Perhaps these Tweets from other Muslims show why the BBC is reluctant to report his story……
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Britain and in several other cities around the world yesterday to call for an end to Israeli military action in Gaza
According to police, more than 20,000 people marched from the BBC’s offices on Portland Place, via the US embassy to Hyde Park.
Here is some other context to the situation in Gaza that the BBC doesn’t highlight…..such as Fatah’s desire to keep the blockade, Fatah’s refusal to allow Gazans out of Gaza and the economic sanctions imposed by the US and Europe on Hamas:
From the Jerusalem Times 2010:
The Palestinian Authority is concerned about Turkey’s increased support for Hamas, a PA official in Ramallah said on Monday.
The official said that the PA leadership was “unhappy” with Turkey’s policy toward Hamas, especially with regard to pressure to lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip unconditionally.
The PA is also concerned the reopening of the Rafah border crossing to Sinai would enable Hamas to tighten its grip on the Strip.
“We wish to remind the Turkish and Egyptian governments that the border crossing was controlled by the Palestinian Authority before Hamas launched its coup in 2007,” the official added. “If the Rafah border crossing is going to be reopened, that should be done in coordination with us and not with Hamas.”
Azzam al-Ahmed, a top Fatah official in the West Bank, was quoted over the weekend as saying that he was opposed to the lifting of the blockade on the Gaza Strip until Hamas agreed to end the dispute with his faction.
Ahmed stressed that there was no humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip because the PA government was sending aid through Israeli border crossings.
Passports
Meanwhile, the Hamas government accused the PA of depriving residents of the Gaza Strip of passports. The government said the ban had been in effect since July 2008, effectively preventing tens of thousands of Palestinians from being able to travel abroad.
“The Fatah government in Ramallah does not care about the suffering of the people in the Gaza Strip, who are already under siege,” a spokesman for the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Interior said. “Every citizen is entitled to a passport, and no one has the right to deprive people of getting passports for whatever reason.”
Palestinian passports are normally printed in the West Bank. Hamas said the PA was refusing, for “security reasons,” to send thousands of passports to residents of the Gaza Strip who needed to travel.
According to the Hamas government, many Palestinian academics and “respected” figures have been denied passports by the PA government for the same reason.
Since the formation of the Hamas-led PA government on March 30, 2006, the United States has ceased providing both indirect and direct foreign aid to the Palestinians with the exception of some emergency humanitarian assistance. Following Hamas’s electoral victory in the January 2006 Palestinian Authority legislative elections, Administration officials and some Members of Congress warned the Hamas leadership that the United States would no longer provide assistance to a Hamas-led PA government unless Hamas changed its charter to recognize Israel’s right to exist and renounced the use of terrorist violence. On January 30, 2006, representatives of the Quartet (United States, Russia, United Nations, and European Union) conditioned future foreign assistance to the PA on the future government’s commitment to non violence, recognition of the state of Israel, and acceptance of previous agreements.
Updated to 2014:
U.S. Foreign Aid to the Palestinians
All of which shows that Israel is not alone in blockading and imposing sanctions upon Gaza….never forgetting that Egypt itself prefers to keep their border with Gaza shut as it does not like Hamas either.
So the ‘open prison’ as the BBC now like to call it, is not just a result of Israeli action, four years after Israel started the blockade Fatah stated that there was no humanitarian crisis as supplies were getting through, and Fatah blocked passports for Gazans to prevent them from travelling.
The protesters reportedly wanted Tesco to stop selling Israeli food. It’s a good thing they didn’t know that the store was founded by Jack Cohen.
oy vay
What the hell has it got to do with these Neanderthals what food is sold and what isn’t? if they don’t like it they don’t need to buy it.
If they don’t like our way of life then send them back to their caves in the desert where, as Marie Antoinette would have said, let them eat camel shit.
When are the decent people of this country going to take to the streets and counteract these criminal scum since our politicians and law enforcement agencies seem unable or unwilling to stop it?
If the food’s not Halal then I’m sure they’ll make it their business…
I noticed the annual baby name story in the week. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28799538
On downloading the list I was disappointed (but not surprised) to find that the most common boys name in both London and the West Midlands was…Mohammed… That’s the 2 largest population centres in the country. Not a word on the Beeb of course.
This is not about Palestine this is about Iran’s proxy war on Israel. They take their instructions from the Grand Sky Fairy: who gives a toss what they think (apart from staff in the BBC Newsroom) We live in a free country and they would have us become slaves to their warped mysogynistic homophobic medieval nonsense. If the media had any sense (which they certainly don’t) they would not report this. It only encourages them.
The Tesco stunt is a pitiful gesture as well as an undemocratic and criminal act. No wonder The Left love these Islamists so much.
If they really want to ban Israeli goods, they need to get a whole lot more serious….
‘So you want to boycott Israel?
So your organization has decided to boycott all products and services from Israel. Here is a list of activities that you now need to perform in order to comply with this boycott.
Part One – Technology and Food
First, remove all Intel Pentium and Celeron computer processor chips from personal computers (desktops, laptops and notebooks) as these were either developed or manufactured in Israel.
Note that the revolutionary new Ivy Bridge processor will be manufactured in Israel. Any computers running the Windows XT operating system must be turned off immediately as this was developed in Israel. All current Microsoft operating systems are not to be used as Microsoft is heavily reliant on its Israel R&D centre.
Step 2. Any computers that still work need to have their anti-virus software and personal firewalls removed as this technology originated in Israel……. etc. etc.
http://freeplanetickettonorthkorea.tumblr.com/boycott-israel
Firewall One, the most commonly used none Cisco Firewall is Israeli. I bet Marks and Spencer is sh!tting itself.
Of course one of the original founders, Michael Marks, was a Jewish refugee too. Indeed M&S has long been the object of ridiculous Boycotters – too Zionist don’t you know.
Do you keep a note of all Jewish owned or Jewish founded companys?
In happier days Jewish businesses were proud of that fact. As I know personally in my family’s history so whatever you mean by that comment it is distasteful.
Not to mention fabulous medical products and innovations, stents for heart surgery……as i type, i have a vacuum packed shell dressing, used by the British Army on my desk…made in Israel.
Anti-capitalist, anti-Shirley Porter, anti-big supermarkets?
Maybe these thugs were Occupy protestors three years after the event.
You know-that lazy timekeeping that the Middle East is known for.
So no crime committed-and that kind of logic helped prevent Muslim bombers from killing people at that EDL rally a few years back.
Basically, won`t be Islams fault, never is.
Now then Mr Tesco-what do you say to your recent poor performance for the shareholders you claim to represent?
And no mention of Islam or Muslims…got that?…you Jews deserve no better anyway!…this is London calling.
It appears that striking
terrormilitancy into the hearts of the Kaffir is what the Pro Palestinian camp are really after:Sainsbury’s strips kosher food from its shelves over fear of attacks by anti-Israeli protesters
Those funny Ethnic majorities in Birmingham.
A ‘vibrant’ experience for those Tesco customers.
There hve been no anti-ISIS protests in the West AFAICT.
Maybe it’s time a few Middle Eastern Christians living in the UK started playing tit-for-tat by trashing a few kebab shops, or even better, ransacking Qatari-owned Harrods.
There has been this one
http://leftfootforward.org/2014/08/demonstration-against-isis-this-saturday/
Thanks – nice to know that such events exist. Now it’s up to the BBC and the rest of the MSM to providesome decent balance. This could be a welcome start.
Did you just happen across that site, Chris, or is it one of your regular haunts? Just asking, as you seem keen to defend the BBC.
Certainly showing a relentless indefatigability today that must be saluted.
I look at it a fair amount. I also look at other blogs/sites like The Commentator, spiked, Archbishop Cranmer, Breitbart etc, plus the comment sections of the Telegraph, the Guardian, the Independent and the Daily Mail on a pretty regular basis. I like to read a range of perspectives.
Me too. I even listen to the BBC which has 70% of the nation’s news and current affairs coverage – I’d be daft not to.
Oh, but I do avoid BBC Asian Radio – I accidentally tuned in once and it had some bird wailing a song about ‘Why are we Muslims always being victimised’. Quite a catchy little number I seem to recall. As catchy as syphilis, in fact.
Mmmm…kebabs….any of you eat those horrible fatty things?….happy to see the shops trashed….usually staffed by surly muslim youths with hatred for us written all over their faces. Oh, and Sharleen….remember her?…..missing, presumed chopped up and put in a kebab. There will never be peace in this country until every muslim and mosque is banished from our shores, proscribe this so-called religion. It will not be done of course, our leaders are cowards and shirkers as to their responsibilities to us.
And another thing……news in that a bag full of severed cat’s heads has been found, in Brum i believe, missed the location, so appalled by the news. Found in an area known as the ‘Curry mile’. Near my neck of the woods, a curry house was prosecuted, a pet’s identity chip was found in a meal……what does that say? I never eat curries or chinese, another cruel race, if you do, remember the ‘chip’ and cats heads……mind how you go.
Manchester (on Saturday): http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/bin-bag-containing-severed-cats-7626419
But the bBBC has finally caught up with the story, an hour ago: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-28834632
Ta Arthur, Manchester, not Brum as i supposed……hey….brum has loads of curry houses too…..bet they are all scurrying round and clearing up right now……
If you eat their crap you’ll get all you deserve. Wouldnt touch it with a bargepole.
Ah,, but that would be a race crime. And any perp’ would be strongly dealt with.
Makes you think, how many PC appointments made to the magistrates, sharia justice for the kuffer ? And just think of the make up of a jury in the big cities, fair and balanced my arse.
You notice how there was alleged to be 100 protesters who entered Tesco and started intimidating the staff. Only 1 person was arrested. London last year Muslims chanting death to the kaffir, only 1 person was arrested.
Looks like the Police have instruction to make a single token arrest where Muslims are the perpetrators. Anyone know if this is official Police policy?
According to a friend who lives in North West town with a high Muslim population, official police policy is to let them police themselves.
Police themselves…? Yes, and thanks to that policy, hundreds of girls were groomed for sex with muslims with impunity for years. BNP flagged it up years ago…BBC, Guardian idiots dismissed it……Those police officers, Chief included, then and now should be arrested and charged with dereliction of duty.
One in a hundred?
By BBC Maffs, that could almost be around half.
The self-policing concept seems to be holding up well, at least until the breaking of the law stuff starts.
And Beeboid Scot, Labour Party fellow traveller, K. WARK, seems to be censoring this political repression at Edinburgh Festival:-
“‘THE EDINBURGH FRINGE HAS FAILED US – AND FAILED FREEDOM’!
http://www.spiked-online.com/freespeechnow/fsn_article/the-edinburgh-fringe-has-failed-us-and-failed-freedom#.U_EMQ8VdW9Y
The Edinburgh Festival a bastion of freedom?
You are having a laugh.
More laughs than at the terrible comedy shows.
I was going to comment on your post but can’t.
Deputy SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has told us that freedom of expression is not tolerated in Scotland.
I love listening to liberal minded people who subscribe to this warped mindset:
1) Muslims can only be victims of white people
(Lets play her at her own game, which is the bigger figure, Islamic victims of hate crimes in Scotland, or victims from Islamic hate crimes in Scotland?)
Well |Kriss Donald , the attack on Glasgow Airport and on the other side we have the jailing of two people for attacking a mosque with Bacon)
2) These people actually believe that a concerted effort should be made to stamp out attacks on Muslims, but tell me how many Muslims have been attacked and killed inside Scotland?
3) Listening to NS speak about the freedom of Speech, is that the freedom to attack jews. In Scotland numerous councils have a anit Israeli policy. The thing is, while these people claim to be only targeting Israel, they have no problem bluring the line between Israeli and Scottish jews. Scotland is a hotbed of Anti-Semtism and yet NS actually gets into bed with terrorist defenders in which to play the Muslim can only be a victim card so as to capture their vote.
4) I have no problem if Scotland gain Independance, however and a big however if they gain independence , no Scottish person should be allowed to move to the Uk if their economy goes tits up. We know it will, the SNP know it will and yet they still continue down the path of self destruction.
It is all about the need to preserve community relations. Many more Muslims than Jews in the UK so the latter are expendable. They are also peaceful and don’t get violent.
Our authorities and large companies are scared of trouble.
Sadly any hopes for community harmony ended with the killing of Lee Rigby. Following the usual dictum of a event that changes everything needing 2 -3 years to pass before the full effect is felt it is well on course.
I would like to be wrong but Idoubt it. The actions of Isis only make the situation worse.
The fools who trashed Tescos simply do not realise just how stupid they are.
The BBC/liberal media will try to hold the line but it is past time for that.
Welcome to the British Balkans circa 2014.
Couldn’t wait to see today’s BBC Midlands Today early evening news to see how they treated the violence.
Shock horror; Tesco Stores is the very first item!…hang on, its about Hereford Tesco giving local farmers and the like a one off chance to set up market stalls in their car park!
Over to the ‘red button’ no nothing there either, what a surprise.

I’ve now got one of these flying proudly over the croft.
Only £3.55 so if more people got one maybe we can show the Neanderthals that it’s not all one way.

I am wearing my Jerusalem bright red T-shirt every chance I can. I wish I had bought more.
If it had been EDL attacking a Muslim store there would be hell to pay and endless phone-ins and discussions on Radio and TV.
Its covered here (I know that the website wont count but Alan did refer to it specifically in his post)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-28833906
Ironic though that you mention the pro-Palestinian demo that started at the BBC. Why would a group of protestors pushing an agenda start their march at a broadcaster’s office? Could it be an attempt to get media attention. Did it work?
Because they’ve been complaining all year in their thousands that the BBC hasn’t covered their demo’s enough. Accoridng to your logic, the BBC must therefore be biased in favour of Israel. What other possible explanation could there be for the lack of coverage?
And what have they been protesting about? Not leat they’ve been protesting about BBC coverage which they say is pro-Israel!
So that’s another of Alan’s arguments dissolving like a wet fart.
Oh, and this must mean the BBC is biased agains the Tories, because what other reason could there be for the lack of coverage?
http://glynismillward189.wordpress.com/2014/06/28/6000-complaints-to-the-bbc-regarding-non-coverage-of-anti-austerity-march/
And presumably, now that the BBC has covered the Tesco demo, the BBC is biased against Muslims, what other reason could there be for the BBC covering the story??!
See how silly this all becomes?
The issue is equality of reporting. Would the BBC report an EDF protest that trashed a supermarket for stocking Arab products get so little coverage? I doubt it.
I just want the BBC to treat all bigoted nuts the same way. Too much to ask?
Why would a power company protest ?
‘See how silly this all becomes?’
Hope you remember those words when you find your arse on the wrong end of an Islamic nuke.
King, can you tell me the BBC figures for complaints for pro-Israel bias and anti-Israel bias?
No?
I thought not. That’s because they don’t keep them. They don’t keep any figures like this. Funny that, for an organisation that claims to be committed to impartiality.
A Tesco in Halifax also targeted.
https://www.facebook.com/halifaxpakistani
the use on the above site of “House Muslim” for members of thecommunity who fail to practice segregation is interesting. Reminiscent of the Left’s use of House N****r against Condoleezza Rice for her collaboration with Bush
Not reported in the BBC

Consequences of appeasing the islamo-fascists .
I sincerely hope all councils and business that follow the dhimmi line suffer huge monetary losses .
I may have missed it – what is it about Tesco that so upsets Pakistanis in Britain ?
It’s not just Tesco the Neanderthals are targeting.
The Waffen SNP support the COOP’s racist anti Semitism.
First the Islamo fascists dictate what we’re allowed to watch or not allowed to watch at the Edinburgh festival and now they are dictating what we’re allowed to and not allowed to eat.
Will someone please put a stop to this madness.

As mentioned previously, the idiot should boycott his iphone and computer due to the Israeli produced Intel chips.
This is just a rehearsal, a taste of things to come !
