The BBC’s pro-Zionist bias is well known, especially since Director-General Mark Thompson’s refusal in January 2009 to allow a public charity appeal for the people of Gaza following Israel’s brutal assault during Operation Cast Lead. Mr Thompson had argued that airing the appeal could compromise BBC impartiality.

It is a pity that the staff at Panorama, the BBC’s flagship current affairs programme, did not share their editor-in –chief’s concerns when they produced a documentary entitled “Death in the Med”, which was aired on 16 August this year. The programme, presented by reporter Jane Corbin, claimed to produce new evidence from both sides of Israel’s raid on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla “to piece together the real story for the first time”.

Canada’s War on Islam: The Case of Mahboob and Momin Khawaja

by Stephen Lendman October 8, 2010

The plain truth is that Western nations face no Islamic threat. Claiming one is a US-concocted lie.

by Haitham Sabbah March 2, 2008

But the death or illness of Palestinians doesn’t interest the media much… Israel is the victim; how could the victim do anything wrong? It’s a dilemma, so it just ignores it.
