BBC Radio4's Today programme had a segment today entitled Palestinian statehood dispute 'jaded', which can be listened to again following the link.
Breaking down this clip into its various components, we can see its full biased effect.
We start with Palestinian protesters clapping and singing while they approach a 'universally regarded as illegal' Israeli settlement. "Israeli soldiers disperse the tiny crowd with a couple of volleys of stinging, choking tear gas!” No background as to the problems that have been caused in the past by Palestinian protesters to justify the Israeli response.
Then we are treated to a discourse by the 'moderate' (according to BBC) Mustafa Barghouti, who urges the international community to become more pro-active in resolving the conflict there, perhaps in the same way they did in Libya. It goes without saying that Israel would be the equivalent of Gaddafi.
Then follows an interview with one of the (evil) settlers, justifying their claim to the land. How better to balance the evil settler than follow them with a left wing Israeli POV? Not surprisingly for the BBC, there is no point of view representative of the majority of Israelis that details the real problems in the scenario painted by the BBC.
Here's a very easy display that shows clearly why the agenda that the BBC constantly pushes on this issue is morally and ethically baseless.
On a similar theme to the Today clip is this one shown last Sunday (and available to listen again) called The State of Israel. Just examining a few lines from the explanatory blurb on it you can get the drift, the rest you can read for yourself:-
The Arab Spring has meant it has lost Egypt, a key ally. We know the BBC wants us to see the Arab Spring as a good thing, so does this mean the 'democratic' Arabs have come to their senses or lost it? No mention here of the Copts who also appear to have lost a key ally.
Turmoil in Syria threatens the stability of an enemy who was at least a known quantity. I thought the BBC considered that 'Turmoil' part of the Arab Spring. Maybe not enough 'oil' in 'turmoil' to justify international assistance there though.
Inept handling has destroyed the friendship with Turkey. So Israel has the legal right to stop any vessels from breaching its blockade, and because it later refused to apologise to Turkey from illegally trying to breach this blockade - Israel is inept.
Now the Palestinians are nominally united and rivalling Israel in international diplomacy with their quest for statehood. You'd have to be pretty thick and sick to think so, or just part of the BBC mindset.
