BBC: The UN “Disputes” That Israel Killed Baby Omar
March 11, 2013 21:32 by Pesach BensonThe UN exonerated Israel for killing baby Omar Mishawari, saying he was killed by an errant Palestinian rocket.
But the BBC’s sticking up for its Gaza journalist, Jihad Mishawari, who insists the baby was killed by Israel. What makes him so sure?
Jehad Mashhrawi dismissed the UN findings as “rubbish”.
He said nobody from the United Nations had spoken to him, and said Palestinian militant groups would usually apologise to the family if they had been responsible.
Does Mishawari really believe that a terror group embedded among civilians over the years in houses, schools, mosques, hospitals, soccer fields, zoos, etc. is going to tell the truth about its errant rocket? Especially given the tearful image’s propaganda value?
Should I be grateful that the Beeb even acknowledged there’s another side to the story? After all, it’s the least Big Media can do.
BBC spin is as BBC spin does.
Meanwhile, the LA Times and National Post also picked up on the story.

From the Article:
“The Israeli military made no comment at the time of the incident but never denied carrying out the strike.”
this is akin to:
Journalist: “Did you kill baby jesus?”
Interviewee: “What?! no comment”
Journalist: “Interviewee does not deny killing baby jesus”

It really is about time that decent people started a boycott of the BBC.
For example petition your cable companies to drop the BBC, when PBS has one of their regular telethon fund-raiser’s offer to donate when they no longer carry the BBC news and write to companies that advertise on the BBC.
The BBC has undue influence throughout the Western world, and it uses that influence to peddle an anti-Israel agenda that has had probably fomented more Israel hatred than any other single source.
IT IS TIME TO STOP THE BBC!

The BBC has always been, is and always will be Israel hating. Even though this corrupt organisation is publicly funded (British tax payers) it is the face of HM Hlome and Foreign Offices. What has happened to the Balen Report, any ideas anyone? The BEEB has tried to stop this publication which only confirms its hate for Israel

The BBC reminds me sadly of the quick anti-Semitism of the British. They were the first European nation to expel Jews, in 1290. Regular vanguards of hate. It was well into the 1300s that in the rest of Europe the clergy got the peasants on a tear after a passion play to have a go at the Jews.
So much for progressives.
