Natan Sharansky calls out the BBC for bias against Israel. Mr. Sharansky has issues concerning the Beebs coverage of the 16 year old whom the peaceful Palestinians sent to kill as many civilians as possible:
In comparison to other international news organizations, which focused on the use of children by Palestinian terrorist groups, the BBC portrayed the event as "Israel's cynical manipulation of a Palestinian youngster for propaganda purposes," he wrote.
Sharansky said such an approach "reveals a deep-seated bias against Israel. Only a total identification with the goals and methods of the Palestinian terror groups would drive a reporter to paint Israel in such an unflattering light instead of placing the focus on the bomber and the organization that recruited him."
The report, he said, "has not only set a new standard for biased journalism, it has also raised concerns that it was tainted by anti-Semitism."
Indeed. The BBC, and most American media for that matter, will always report on the Intifadah with a bend toward the Palestinians. They can never let the facts get in the way of a good story. Just a reminder, Holocaust Remebrance Day is on April 19. I will be featuring websites periodically that will make sure we never forget. Here's the first.
