The BBC splash this: Gaza conflict: Abbas backs Hamas ceasefire demands   But has the BBC reported this?…I don’t think so:   In an interview on 11 July with Al Mayadeen satellite channel, the PA President Mahmoud Abbas accused Hamas of being “merchants of war” and called on them to accept the Egyptian ceasefire initiative and proceed with political negotiations later.  Five days later, Tayeb Abdel Rahim, director-general of … Continue reading →

    The BBC has gone frontpage with the UN’s suggestion that Israel ‘may have committed war crimes’: UN’s Navi Pillay warns of Israel Gaza ‘war crimes’     Curiously no mention of the UN’s own war crime on the BBC….the hiding of Hamas weapons in one of their schools…for the second time…at least: For second time, rockets found at UN school in Gaza   Also where are all those … Continue reading →

    Don’t know about you but I’d drop my phone if I’d been shot and fallen to the ground….especially if I’d been shot not once but three times, apparently.  Having said that her indoors probably would cling on to hers hell or high water.   The BBC has remarkably played it cool with this video which claims to be of a Palestinian out looking for his lost family when … Continue reading →

    The BBC has often opined that Gaza is destitute and failing, lacking resources to build its infrastructure…indeed it highlights Ban Ki-Moon trying to blame the Israeli blockade for the rocket attacks on Israel: Mr Ban is due to travel to Israel for talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and meetings with Palestinian officials in the West Bank. Mr Ban said he appreciated Israel’s right to defend itself, but … Continue reading →

  The BBC has decided not to report all the words of John Kerry…just the ones that suit its apparent anti-Israel agenda. John Kerry is the US Secretary of State and is leading the effort to agree a peace plan between Israel and the Palestinians.  You might think his words would be worthy of some note by the BBC.  But no. Or rather, not all of them.   He said … Continue reading →

Listening to Lyse Douchet parrot the propaganda lines put forward by Hamas, one can be forgiven for thinking that there are in fact no Hamas terrorists in Gaza and that Israel only ever gives innocent people. When it comes to reporting what goes on in Gaza, the BBC show a level of bias that is so spectacular that it amazes.

Even the BBC cannot really hide the obvious fact that Miliband’s encounter with Obama was …. awkward! Have a read, this made me smile.

Quite remarkable that the BBC can produce this lengthy article on Female Genital Mutilation and never once mention the faith group that practises it with such devotion – ISLAM.

      Let’s think……. Hamburg/Dresden   D-Day     Nagasaki/Hiroshima   Vietnam   Afghanistan   Iraq     Guess we’d know what ‘you’d’ do. The same as the Israelis when it comes to defeating terror and a merciless and ruthless enemy which seeks to eliminate you……’never again’ is the Israeli response…and who can blame them.          

    Pounce originally came up with these figures in the comments and I was reminded of them by Is the BBC biased?: Analysis Of Gazans Killed So Far In Operation Protective Edge   From their figures, and I haven’t looked at the source myself, it looks like the Palestinian casualties are 14% male under fighting age (up to 17), 18% women, 6% male over age (over 60) and the … Continue reading →
