BBC Watch ran this story yesterday of an incident which happened 2 days ago, and the BBC has so far failed to cover.
We have posted numerous examples where every time a Palestinian is injured or killed by Israelis, this immediately becomes headline news. No matter if the Palestinian(s) were provoking Israel in some way. This is especially true where a Palestinian youth or child is concerned. Just the kind of story the BBC love to vilify Israel with.
So what happens when a Palestinian purposefully shoots a 9 year old Israeli girl in the head, and the Palestinian authority lauds his action?
As far as the BBC is concerned, it didn't happen.
Robin Shepherd at The Commentator picks up on it.

It's not BBC bias against Israel; it's hate
If a 9 year old Palestinian girl had been shot by Israel, and the government had gloried in it, this would be headline news, worldwide. The BBC is shameless in its bigotry
Some readers may have little daughters of nine, younger or older. Regardless, you have the capacity for empathy? Palestinian children count just as much as any other. They suffer under the currents of history, in our view mainly due to their own leaders.
But no matter, a child is child. Unless she's an Israeli Jew, the BBC and most of the Western media appears to believe. We will keep this brief, but it is truly shocking and disgusting. As we reported here, a nine year old girl was shot by a Palestinian sniper while the supposedly "moderate" Palestinian Authority circulated on Facebook a celebration of the would-be child murderer, thus:
"The sniper of Palestine was here. He saluted Hebron, and rested in El-Bireh. He left the signature of [real] men in different parts of the homeland. He saluted and left, and moved on to a different place, with a new signature, as he tells the stories of those who love the homeland."
If Israel had sent a sniper to kill a little Palestinian girl that on its own would have been major international news. If the Israeli Cabinet had gloried in it, this would have been top news for days or weeks on end. A UN resolution would not have been out of the question.
BBC headlne? Not at all.
Since she's a 9 year old Israeli Jew, no-one cares. The BBC isn't biased. It's possessed with hate. And since they know this story -- from us and others -- there can really be no other conclusion than that.
Or do you have a better explanation? Journalistic integrity just ain't one of them...
