BBC accused of bias against Israel

BBC accused of bias against Israel http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,1183300,00.html: Israeli officials boast that they now have only to call a number at the network's headquarters in Atlanta to pull any story they do not like.

"...A week earlier, when a 12-year-old boy, Abdullah Quran, was stopped while unwittingly carrying explosives at an army checkpoint, Israeli embassies called news editors to insist they cover the story and warn that failure to do so would be viewed as bias against Israel.

When several news organisations failed to report it, an Israeli newspaper called for their correspondents to be expelled, including Sky's Emma Hurd and Stephen Farrell of the Times..."



"When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle." Raphael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defence Forces, New York Times, 14 April 1983.

"the describtions and smells of Arabs and all Palestinians being terrorists and Europeans born anti-semites Don?"

Are you saying i said any of that ??

please provide proof.

that was quite a backhand accusation....I really hope you have
some proof I said ANY those things.

:shrug:

.

Bluesoul never said you said that, so why should he provide proof of something he never said?


Violet...

"As nice as the <sic> describtions and smells of Arabs and all Palestinians being terrorists and Europeans born anti-semites Don?"
The attribution to Don clearly indicts he had expressed some of the previous ideas.

EDIT: italic trouble.

And anyone who's been around this forum a while would know exactly who he was referring to...

Violet...

he didn't say it. File this under tough sh!t. If it didn't sting, there wouldn't be complaints.

from being among people in the Middle East are tobacco and talcum powder (men) and perfume and incense (women).

As for all Palestinians being terrorists and Europeans born anti-semitics, only ignorant people say that.

even here on DU.

LOL ;) ha ha

"Sure, we are building an apartheid wall, conducting extrajudicial assassinations, and electing genocidal governments . . . but you're telling people about it! Anti-Semites!!!!!"

the story equals telling your interpretation of the Israelis? How very strange this logic of yours.

if you consider anything that does not resemble a re write of a sharon press release to be biassed
