Category Archives: anti israel at all times.

B-BBC readers may recall a small furore over my tweet a few months ago that the Hate Flotilla should be stopped in it’s tracks and “no messing this time”. Gosh but the BBC were so VERY keen to hear what I meant by that with my political opponents claiming that this was “incendiary” and indeed verging on “bigoted” and “hate speech”. I rather got the impression that the dear old BBC seemed to relish this dross, almost as if blackening my name was a good day out for them, perish the thought.

Anyhoooo…I’m waiting for the BBC to move on the news that the head of Amnesty’s Finnish branch, Frank Johansson, has told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday that he stands by his statement that Israel is a “scum state.”

“Scum State”? Oh dear – sounds a bit…incendiary to me, maybe even a tad bigoted and possibly “hate speech”. Can’t wait for those eager beavers at the BBCto get an Amnesty spokesman tomorrow morning on to ask him to condemn Johansson. 

And so the week draws to an end on Today and what better way to conclude things by providing Lord Patten with a soapbox from which he can advance his endless attacks on Israel – this time without any pesky dissenting voices…via technical breakdown, natch.

His Lordship has been off to Gaza again to see his pals there and naturally is back to ensure Israel gets the blame for the self inflicted problems of Hamastan. At one point Patten, to his monumental shame, chooses to equivocate between the credentials of Hamas and Israel. If pushed, I reckon Patten believes Israel to be a terrorist state. He also side steps the issue that Hamas seeks the utter destruction of Israel whilst claiming that Fatah are the good guys when in fact they continues to deny the reality of the existence of Israel.I find Patten absolutely repellent and yet the BBC cannot get enough of him. I wonder why?

As we all know, Israel never gets a fair chance on the BBC. With Israeli PM Netanyahu visiting Obama today, it was predictable that the BBC would use the opportunity to get stuck in and so they did! Just listen to Jeremy Al Bowen here — quite stunning in the tone and substance. Bias incarnate.

The BBC must love it when one of their liberal Jewish journalists takes the opportunity to plunge the knife into Israel. Tim Frank plays the role perfectly here.. Franks is clear; Israelis are dysfunctional, shameful, forcing a ‘blackness’ over the ‘occupied territories’. Palestinians get all the sympathy, Israelis all the blame. Fair and balanced?

Interesting catch here by another eagle-eyed B-BBC reader…It related to this story.

Scroll over to the Jon Donnison “analysis” box…  

“The BBC’s Jon Donnison, in the West Bank town ofRamallah, says it is not yet clear exactly what happened. 

But it is not uncommon for the Israeli navy to open fireon fishing boats it feels are too far out at sea, he adds.”

I was reading the BBC’s coverage of the Quartet’s condemnation of Israel for daring to build in Jerusalem and came across this sentence...”That move undermined efforts to restart indirect Israeli-Palestinian talks” But did it? Wasn’t the firing of rockers from Gaza into Israel another reason to conclude that “peace talks” are being undermined from THAT side? The BBC is always in such a rush to damn Israel, 24/7, isn’t it? I wonder why the BBC hates the Jews so much?

“….the last line in a report on an IDF soldier who posteddetails of a military operation on Facebook reads: “Reports on whether the targets of the raids aremilitants or civilians are often contradictory.”  The article thereby seeks to imply that the IDF targetscivilians for which there is simply no evidence.
