Listening to the BBC today I heard the news reporter say that Hilary Clinton had said:
Those who would try to disrupt the peace of people going about their daily lives are out of step and out of time
and that
... the best we can tell is that those who try to inflict harm on others and cause damage are funding their evil enterprise from criminal gains and we hope to see an end to all of that."
She was actually talking about policing in Northern Ireland, and it struck me that this rhetoric could equally apply to Islamic terrorists in Palestine, yet while there back in March, she made no such equation.
The BBC were happy to highlight the quotes above in reference to Irish terrorists, and it markedly showed the difference when reporting on Israel and the Palestinians. Why isn't the same view being applied - by both the present left liberal US and the BBC?
