“No one should expect journalists to be as high-minded as Nick Davies. Theirs is -or should be -a murky, occasionally mucky, job done by people short on scruples and long on curiosity, suspicious of everything and everybody, and of favours most of all.”     Daily Telegraph       Wonder what attracted the BBC to their new business editor:   BBC business editor Ahmed and links to top … Continue reading →

    Thanks to jackde for linking to the below where it is explained how Hamas plan to take advantage of Israeli rules of engagement which limit their use of force due to the presence of civilians when they return fire on Hamas, any resultant civilian casualties will help to slow the Israelis down as they have to treat them, and the destruction of homes will increase hatred towards Israel … Continue reading →

    The above Tweet from Hamas is interesting…it shows that not only do they target civilians but that they relish inflicting terror and fear upon them. No doubt the UN will be making some strong statements about such war crimes and the BBC will be buttonholing Cameron and asking him if he believes these are war crimes.   Meanwhile the BBC has been busy broadcasting pure Hamas propaganda all … Continue reading →

  We are always being told just how crowded Gaza is….but that’s not really true in comparison to other places…..London, spread over a vastly bigger area, is still more crowded whilst Jordan is vastly underpopulated by comparison with only 68 people/km²….Jordan actually being ‘Palestine’ why then do all those Palestinian ‘refugees’ not find themselves a home there? Somewhere on 5Live yesterday we were told that there is open space in … Continue reading →

          The BBC’s Ian Pannell claims that Hamas made no claim about capturing an Israeli soldier, a claim that mislead everyone including the IDF into thinking he was a prisoner:       Obviously he hasn’t read Hamas’s Twitter feed:       So did the Israeli’s invent the story of the captured soldier or were they lead to believe that by the fact that he … Continue reading →

The BBC has lovingly lingered on UNRWA condemnation of Israel for hitting a THIRD UNRWA school. It’s all part of the “damn-Israel” meme that the BBC has spewed out during the latest conflict. However, for some reason, none of the world class BBC journalists felt inclined to ask UNWRA why it has allowed at least THREE of its schools to be used to store Hamas missiles. Further, why has the … Continue reading →

    The BBC’s Jon Donnison shows he doesn’t care a jot about the Israelis…it’s all their own fault…   Hmmm….wonder if we can blame the BBC et al for all Hamas’ actions now that they have the BBC in their corner? Will the Israelis then be ‘reaping’ what the BBC has sown?  Of course they won’t be called Israelis then…just refugees, displaced persons…or corpses. I wonder if he thinks … Continue reading →

                          England cricketer Moeen Ali, of Pakistani ‘heritage’, and a Muslim, wore wristbands that said ‘Save Gaza’ and ‘Free Palestine’.   Both are highly political statements, in particular the ‘Free Palestine’ one which cheerleads the destruction of Israel as ‘Palestine’ is considered to be from the ‘river to the sea’ and the State of Israel itself is considered by … Continue reading →

I can see that the current Open Thread is bulging at the seams so time for a new one! As we prepare for another week of BBC bias, THIS is where to detail it and debate it.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-QIPE53aTc     The BBC did nothing to dispel the Palestinian Pallywood propaganda that claimed an Israeli sniper killed an unarmed man despite the huge response to the video and its uptake by mainstream media. How different the BBC reaction when a small video goes on-line showing a boy firing an RPG on a beach with a few claims that it is a beach in Gaza. Israeli shells … Continue reading →
