Bias BBC Not Mentioning Who Bombed
Oct/04/03
BBC hits a new low and manages not to mention that it was a Palestinian who carried out the attack:
While Arab boys that are caught in the Arab Adult vicious human-shields during Israeli anti Terror operations are clearly DEFINED, and marked as 'blaming' Israelis immediately.
From a non-jewish Israel supporter in London:
The BBC coverage of the latest suicide bombing atrocity was reported
without ever mentioning the word "terrorist" or "murder" but instead
focussed on what (they speculated) Israel would do in retaliation - as if this
was the story itself. They then focus on the family of the dead terrorist
and the murderer herself and then very quickly mention the innocents
killed.
If there is justifiable reason for British troops in Iraq because Saddam
proffered a threat to the security of my country (thousands of miles away)
then surely attacking Syria for exactly the same reasons is justified. Well,
no, not according to the impartial BBC. Still, why should they care about
double standards when constant reporting from the West Bank etc. is so
one sided, anti- Israel and pro terror.

I clicked on an another article linked to this one about the bombings, about an Israeli strike at a terrorist training camp in Syria. Predictably, the BBC put "scare quotes" around Israel's description of the camp as a terrorist training facility," as if to say to the readers of the story THE ISRAELIS CLAIM THIS IS A TERRORIST CAMP, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT IT IS NOT. It meanwhile puts no such quotes around such emotionally loaded propaganda terms used by the Arabs as "occupation."
But then again, what else could one expect from the Beeb? This is the same so-called "news service" -- how do you like THEM scare quotes, Beebsters? -- which during the Iraq war had some snide Clyde on its World Service watch-able here in the US reading the war news with an ill-concealed smirk and sneer of disdain and mockery toward any official statements coming out of Washington, London or Central Command in Quater, but credulously -- even eagerly -- repeating bogus propaganda coming from Baghdad and elsewhere in the Arab world.
It's the same so-called "news service" which provided a priceless propaganda platform for so-called "Baghdad Bob" (Iraq Disinformation Minister Mohammed Saaed al Sahaf) to spew his nonsense (including his claim that American soldiers were Baghdad Bob's unintentionally hilarious claim about the U.S. troops being "not within 100 miles of Baghdad, even as US tanks were leisurely driving right by the outside of his Propaganda Ministry!) by carrying his live briefings, uncensored and not even modified with a Joe Isuzu-like "he's lying through his teeth" Chyron crawl at the bottom of the screen underneath, without even an effort to put his obvious spin in some sort of truthful context (I SOMEHOW DOUBT THAT THE BEEB WOULD HAVE LET NAZI PROPAGANDA MINISTER GOEBBELS USE THEIR AIRWAVES FOR PROPAGANDA AGAINST THEIR OWN SIDE THIS WAY DURING WWII IN THE NAME OF A PHONY "OBJECTIVITY" OR "EVEN-HANDEDNESS" OR "FAIRNESS" -- OR THAT WINSTON CHURCHILL WOULD HAVE TOLERATED IT FOR EVEN ONE SECOND THE WAY THE POLITICALLY CORRECT SOCIALIST FOP TONY BLAIR DID!)
Don't forget also, this is a so-called "news service" whose London headquarters, I am told, has a special "Prayer Room" designated for "Men Only". Who is praying in this room who might have a problem having women around? I doubt it's any Orthodox Jews or conservative Christians! I'll leave you to guess whom the Beeb is going out of its way to flatter, appease and ass-kiss with this misogynistic gesture!
