BBC Road Warriors
November 21, 2004 15:53 by ManagingTeam
Last week, BBC correspondent Martin Asser described a taxi ride through the Gaza Strip emphasizing IDF checkpoints and the hardships they cause ordinary Palestinians (he didn’t acknowledge the army’s fight against Palestinian terror). This week, Beeb road warriors in Iraq reported that a cab ride from Baghdad to the city’s airport is the world’s most dangerous drive ($5,100 fare gives you two cars and several heavily armed bodyguards). Don’t miss the previous adventures of the Beeb’s road warriors in Gaza. Next up: a ride through Boston’s scandal-ridden “Big Dig.”

Whatever, Martin Asser. I went through the IDF checkpoints not too long ago with a Palestinian bus driver and Israeli tour guide. While they are a pain, they aren’t that bad. Now, I wasn’t going to blow people up so I’d imagine my checkpoint experience is a touch different from the Palestinian people’s experience. The IDF probably does racial profiling and such so I probably don’t look like much of a threat. Boo Hoo to the terrorists who never got through those checkpoints.

By admonishing checkpoints the BBC shows a callous disregard for the lives of Israelis. They believe that the convenience of “palestinians” should take precedence over the protection of Israeli lives. One can only conclude from that point of view a not so veiled anti-Semitism.
