Why is the BBC biased against rich Jew friendly Israel?
ON Israel and Gaza, the BBC is biased. Fair enough. But why does the State broadcaster pretend to be impartial? Israel is a foreign country. Why doesn’t the BBC just come out and say what side it is on? Cranmer opines:
“Israel pounds Gaza..”? (You may have heard that before..) Funny, isn’t it, how the BBC has never mentioned Gaza pounding Israel, which it does incessantly. Indeed, the sirens frequently wail in Ashkelon, Pit’hat Shalom and Shaar HaNegev, as Gaza pounds Israeli civilians of whatever gender, age or creed. But only when Israel justifiably retaliates does the BBC bother to report the ‘pounding’. It is as though these evil Jews were responding to a Palestinian peashooter with a nuclear bomb.
Words matter:
Tit-for-tat is never going to resolve this conflict. There is error on both sides: civilians are dying on both sides. But it must be observed that Hamas are awfully fond of using their women and children as human shields. Hamas don’t care if they kill or injure men, women or children; military or civilian; Jew or Muslim. The jihadi-Islamists of Gaza don’t really mind where their little firework display lands or who gets injured or killed. That’s why they’re now pounding Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. All they care about is terrorising the Jewish State and ending the Zionist conspiracy.
Yes, Gazan jihadi ideology is understandable; excusable, even, because Israel is the illegitimate state and occupying power, and the Jews are the main obstacle to world peace. It’s causal, you see. And the only resolution is the eradication of Israel, so the moment it lifts a finger to defend itself, it is criticised like no other nation on earth. Israel is the eternal aggressor; never the victim. Jews are perpetual occupiers and murderers; never the one suing for peace. The BBC/Guardian response inculcates the nation with the belief that Hamas are just poor, innocent Palestinians trying to do their best against the rich, powerful Jews who really rule the world.
Everyone takes a view. But the BBS bias seems clear. Tel Aviv is not Israel’s capital. The BBC has done this before. It’s no accident…

Not all Jews are Israelis and not all Israelis are Jews – it is perfectly valid to oppose Government policy and hypocrisy, be it Blair, Bush or Netenyahu, without having a pathological hatred of the people they profess to represent. Given that the current death ratio stands at approximately 40:1, the question of who is “pounding” whom seems to be self-evident – perhaps you could quantify just what ratio of fatalities would be deemed acceptable to those, who claim to represent “civilised” Western democratic sensibilities?

The Indie article was written 6 years ago.Any relevance to the main article here? Are you trying to suggest that one journalist’s views of another journalist represent those his media organisation, or indeed those of the whole nation? Could you be more explicit?

Anorak concerning quoted article from the Indie.The Jews in Israel are from east Europe and Russia not Arabia.

Israel is just like a bullied child, where the abused becomes the abuser.
The Jews should move on from the “Holocaust” and stop using Israel (Palestine) as a memorial to the past.
The dirt poor Gazanians have no place to go and the middle class Jewish hubris are using the sport of Shooting Fish in a Barrel to entertain their paranoid ambitions.

In Arabic the letter P is often pronounced as a B , thus the BBC is known as the Balistinian Bombers Comfort – no other network in the world has given more Comfort to the Bombers of Balestine ( Palestine ) than the BBC.
