HALF THE STORY….

  By David Vance | October 31, 2011 - 8:16 am | , ,

When you look at this video and then you read this BBC story, you wonder if we are living on the same planet. BBC staff should don Keffiyehs when reading out every story on Israel as the visual cue for what is a patently underlying contempt for Israel and a cloying support for whatever trash the Palestinians put out.

    Yep David.  It’s quite clear from the BBC report that Israel is the side that broke the truce.  Even quoting a Palestinian source saying that they will abide by the agreement as long as Israel does.

    It’s wicked that the Kameraden at the BBC will deliberately frame their reports to make the opposite to the truth look like it is the real one.

    Thanks for keeping me in touch.
    I just don`t listen to the BBC when it comes to Israel anymore, so am grateful for their ongoing bias being recorded.
    Believe there will be a review of their coverage of the “Arab Spring”…can we guess what it`s conclusion will be boys and girls?
    Page 1 of the Big Green Book according to Beeb
    “on balance we think we got it/called it about right”
    The rows will now ensue whether “got it” or “called it” is the more “appropriate”…will Salford or West London win?

    On another tack…looked at my old Gadhaffi “Green Book”…90% of his views are bang in line with the BBC….empowering women, education, the certainty of Black Power and Islam in retaking Africa and Europe respectively…
    He really should have told Bowen about all this…he`d be a political refugee in Hounslow by now , had he done so!

    Islamic Socialism eh?…as long as it`s a lime green shade and not that dark one(is that racist, Father?)…the BBC and the Guardian will be craving its onset…Gadhaffi may yet turn out to be their John the Baptist, in effect!

    The BBC News site reported:

    Five Palestinian militants have been killed in a number of Israeli air strikes on the south of the Gaza Strip.

    The violence is the most serious since a major prisoner exchange deal earlier this month between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist militant group that governs in Gaza.
    Melanie Phillips is on the case:

    No mention of the Palestinian rocket attack on Ashdod last Wednesday. No mention of the 35 rocket attacks on Israel during the past day, nor the Israeli killed in Ashkelon. Instead, the BBC has given the false impression on its website that the Israelis initiated the attacks — and the only casualties it reported were Palestinian

    Since yesterday, the BBC have embarked on a new angle to this story:
    New Israeli air strike into Gaza after ‘ceasefire’
    It immediately tells us ‘One Palestinian was killed in a new Israeli air strike in Gaza, hours after Egypt apparently brokered a ceasefire.’
    So the gist is – even after ‘peace-loving’ Egypt brokered a ceasefire, the aggressive Israel launched another strike on peaceful Gaza.
    Only way down in the article to we get to
    ‘Israel said at 38 rockets and mortars were fired into southern Israel since Saturday, killing one man in the coastal city of Ashkelon. Four other people were wounded by the attacks.’
    Then even further down we get to ‘The spokesman said that the first attack, about midday local time, specifically targeted a cell responsible for a long-range rocket attack on Wednesday that exploded deep inside Israel. That attack had caused no casualties.’
    So ultimately we get to the real sequence of events – but in no way are these headlines, much less the article, intended to convey this at all.

    It’s fair to assume that the pro-Islam bias exhibited by the BBC, regardless of real context or adherence to our own values, will have ‘inspired’ many within the BBC, not to mention of course – it’s audience, to have a genuine anti-Israeli/Jewish viewpoint. So to give the benefit of the doubt, even if they never started out as anti-Semites, they sure are churning them out now.

    It’s the same with regard to Christians, whether to rid their audience of its influence to gain further sway themselves, and especially where Islam is involved, the BBC do their best to downplay or distort the ‘real story’, much like they do for Israel.

    This was recently especially evident following the Egyptian military’s attacks on the Copts there. Despite clear evidence of how these troops had purposefully run down protesters, no raised eyebrows at the BBC when reporting how the military denied intentional wrongdoing, and were going to investigate what had happened THEMSELVES.

    Lest there be any doubt


    So in their continuing efforts to promote any Islamic actions, so long as they stay on the side of the strongest, the cowardly BBC, who will no doubt be aware of this and similar videos, are doing their best to avoid further coverage. Even though their usual ‘human rights’ sources (especially when they report on the ‘real enemy like Israel’) sounded an alarm on this Egyptian military ‘investigation’, the BBC never murmured a word.

    Now the miltary have found a scapegoat, a blogger who was a thorn their side, and he is being blamed for the Copt disturbances.
    Scapegoat found: Egyptian military jails dissident blogger in “investigation” of its own massacre of Christian protesters
    Not a murmur from the BBC.

      With 3000 protesters marching through Cairo to show their feelings about the ridiculous outcome of this miltary court finding this bogger guilty, it’s a wonder the BBC can still remain quiet about it. I guess they just push their heads further up the Egyptians military backside.

    INBBC is ‘Organisation of Islamic Co-operation’ (OIC) compliant already.  
     
        
       
    INBBC rarely mentions the OIC, but INBBC acts as though it is a member: INBBC often takes its own global role as that of a state, a pro-Islam state, opposed to Israel – so ideologically INBBC is very OIC compliant already, and can easily conform to this –
