Anti-Israel BBC blocks legal director; several severe indictments

After 44 postings (click tag to scroll them) on the BBC  during which I gave it a more suitable title ‘Brainwashing Britons Cult’ when watching exposures of political rot in UK and USA, at long last there’s now a press focus upon the corporation’s blatant anti-Semitism. (It’s anti-Christian too!)

My monitoring this and its consequential inaccurate, biased reporting began two months less than thirteen years ago in my email Rapid rollover on today’s news, with a follow-up in August 2012 The biased BBC doesn’t know about Jerusalem.

Later I discovered helpful, informative websites Honest Reporting (see The picture that began it all in Sept 2000) and BBC Watch, which issued frequent in-depth scrutiny of its abysmal, journalism – as in this from exactly 11 years ago on 29th November 2012:

Is BBC’s coverage of Gaza ‘yellow journalism’?

BBC Watch has since merged with Committee for Accuracy in Middle-East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA), founded in 1982. Another valuable analytical site located in Israel is the Middle-East Research Institute (MEMRI) with its trove of translations from all publications in that region. Particularly noteworthy is CAMERA’s monitoring of not only media inaccuracies but also UK branch’s statistics of Palestinian casualties this year.

In those years I regularly read ‘ne plus ultra’ Caroline Glick who served ‘1994-96, as an IDF captain in the Defense Ministry as a core member of Israel’s negotiating team with the Palestinians’and ‘1997-98 as Assistant Foreign Policy Advisor to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’.

Also very well-informed is Sultan Knish, Daniel Greenfield’s pen-name and who is Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. You may like to read his brief historical synopsis Thirty years ago Israel deported hamas.

OCT-NOV 2023

Here’s screenshots of very recent items in The Telegraph online – and don’t miss the last item about Westminster’s ‘anti-Israel blob’ that’s a likely major contributing influence upon BBC’s anti-Semitism:

First, the blocking of a highly qualified, invited consultant from giving a valuable contribution to a BBC presenter:

“I had been watching the coverage that evening already in disbelief. I explained that now, more than ever, the channel needed me on to provide balance. There was a desperate need to keep to the BBC’s commitments of due accuracy and impartiality. I had already seen many online reports that the incident had occurred in the context of a barrage of rockets from Gaza towards Israeli civilian communities. The BBC’s line simply didn’t add up.

[Extract, emphases mine]
‘All of that is now over: Foreign Office orthodoxy is back with a vengeance. Lord Cameron’s first interview – with the BBC, appropriately – was hugely disappointing. He claimed the number of casualties in Gaza was “too high”, implicitly blaming Israel rather than Hamas, and accepting the terrorists’ propaganda at face value, by failing to realise that many fatalities are Hamas fighters and somehow forgetting that they use civilians as human shields.

The war would end were Hamas to unconditionally surrender and release all the hostages – why didn’t Cameron ask for that, rather than stating, insultingly, that he “stressed over and over again that [Israel] must abide by international humanitarian law”? Can’t he see that Israel is doing more than any other country to follow the rules of war, and that it is succeeding to an almost superhuman degree? Is the FCDO trying to harmonise British policy with that of Emmanuel Macron and other anti-Israel European powers?’

Foreign Office culpability is enormous and Allister Heath’s article ties in well with this by America’s Barbara Boyd in Some Real Facts About The Current Mideast War.

This may be enough to demonstrate that the BBC is an unreliable broadcaster of news.
