PROTESTING OBFUSCATION…

A Biased BBC reader writes;

“On 24 July 2014, the BBC website had a headline (together with a large picture) “Pro- Palestine Protest Halts Maccabi Haifa Match.”

The picture shows a “Pro- Palestinian” delivering a martial- art style kick into the chest of an Israeli soccer player. Unlike other news sources which described what happened as an attack, the BBC called it a “protest”. Nowhere in the report is the word attack used.

I would suggest that by downgrading what was clearly a violent assault into a mere protest, the BBC is very possibly legitimizing such actions in the eyes of those who would wish to carry out similar violent acts.

Surely this kind of biased and even incite-full reporting undermines the credibility of the BBC which is publicly funded and even possesses its own “heavy mob” in the form of the TV Licensing authority to bring in the “BBC tithe” from those who might very well just simply want to detoxify their minds from this kind of yellow journalism by receiving news and culture from other channels.”

    The BBC really ought to be prosecuted for inciting racial hatred.
    Their perpetual 24/7 shilling for Islam and its scorn and trashing of Israel and the Jewish people will surely be bringing assaults, desecrations and violence…ending in God knows what.
    The national broadcaster of the country really has no place in inciting assaults and abuse of the Jewish community and its friends and supporters….its lack of context, its use of loaded and prejudicial language is a disgrace.
    Doesn`t take too much analysis to bring a prosecution, surely.

      Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement) and IS (formerly calling themselves ISIS) both want a caliphate to replace all states in the area. They don’t seem to have agreed on who will be the Caliph.

        They don’t seem to have agreed on who will be the Caliph in their caliphate, but they certainly agree on who the ‘hate’ refers to: anyone who doesn’t accept their medieval barbaric world.
        But to the bBBC it is all enlightened and our fault for taking an ‘Islamophobic’ view.

    As raised elsewhere, there’s also this quaint interpretation of events…

    “It seems that no-one was seriously hurt in the incident.”

    Beyond how the ‘reporter’ (my quotes) felt “seems” covered matters reportage without further ado, it appears the BBC Editorial Guidelines do permit estimates of injury to go down as well as up, depending on who is drop kicking who.
    Only surprised they didn’t get creative eith ages as they do, and try and suggest it was a child on young reservist expression of frustration.
    No inappropriate deli products were abused in the match though, so further outrage was averted.
    Only surprised the local plod and a UN team were not on hand to assess just how badly the poor kid’s sole was damaged when the Israeli’s chest hit it back.

      Still, if you are going to ‘protest’ (albeit with the enhanced BBC version of the democratic right to wave a placard, namely flat out assault and battery – Dave & Theresa’s mates at UAF no doubt noting what can be done vs. the version that hits the ‘news’) this way, Austria seems one heck of a symbolic country to kick such targeted activity off.
      Can’t wait to see how the BBC gets its spin around a book burning or Kristallnacht re-enactment.
      Of course, they simply need to repeat (and often enough) what a certain fellow in charge of propaganda did not so long ago.

    Bearing in mind who’s side the BBC is on what’s sad for me is that the real message being sent out from the BBC in this article and photo is “look what we did to an Israeli!!”.

    It’s basically gloating over the fact they managed to assault an Israeli.

  7. No surprise. The BBC took two days to stop calling the 2011 riots “protests”.
