How the BBC reports the Eilat Terrorist Bombing

[Teddy Bear]

The final paragraph of the BBC online article on this story goes as follows news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6309029.stm

"The last suicide attack was at a Tel Aviv restaurant, killing 10 people. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in that time, mainly in the Gaza Strip. "

Now what do you think they're trying to say by that? No other Israelis have been killed by terrorists in that time? It's Israeli aggression that is the cause of this 'retalliation' despite that they gave Gaza completely to the Palestinians but have had nothing but grief from that area since then?

- Just another days output for the Blatantly Biased Corrupt BBC - and disregarding Israeli grief at this attack - they still need to plunge the knife in further.

Honest Reporting have picked up on the above observation with the following today:

The BBC's report on the Eilat suicide bombing reveals the subtle yet insidious attitude of the corporation in its final paragraph:



The last suicide attack was at a Tel Aviv restaurant, killing 10 people. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in that time, mainly in the Gaza Strip.

Is the BBC trying to justify or excuse Palestinian terror? Commentator Tom Gross points out much of the international media's failure "to note that dozens of other would-be bombers have been prevented from entering other parts of Israel in recent months due to Israel’s security fence. The media reports today have also failed to note that rockets continue to be fired almost daily into Israel from the Gaza Strip."

The BBC report not only lacks this context but appears to go further. If you agree, send your comments to BBC Complaints - www.bbc.co.uk/complaints
