Tel Aviv Bus Bombing: BBC True to Form
November 21, 2012 16:28 by Simon Plosker
In the aftermath of a terrorist attack in Israel, the BBC can always be relied upon not to avoid clearly stating that a terror attack has occurred. This is the opening paragraph of the latest report on the incident:
At least 10 people have been injured in an explosion on a bus in Israel’s commercial capital, Tel Aviv, in what one Israeli official described as a “terrorist attack”.
The BBC still can’t bring itself to say outright that the bombing was an act of terror.
The article continues:
After the incident, near military headquarters, huge blasts were heard in Gaza – an apparent Israeli strike on the football stadium.
It suits the BBC’s view of the conflict to portray Israeli actions as vengeful retaliation. In fact, the football stadium had been the launch site for Palestinian rockets and would no doubt have been the target of an Israeli air strike irrespective of the Tel Aviv terror attack.
Once again the BBC is true to form.

The BBC is institutionally biased against Israel and has been for years. They advertise staff vacancies in The Guardian, which is vehemently anti-Israel. So the BBC hires only Guardian readers, thereby ensuring the political stance of their staff. And if they are not biased, as they themselves claim, why have they fought tooth and nail and spent hundreds of thousands of pounds of licence payers’ money, OUR MONEY to suppress it? As the Americans say, “go figure”.

n ext time israelis are being questionned they should start by asking the reporter questions instead
eg, as the israelis call this a terror attack, what would you call it? anything different or the same?
show the jew hating bastards, or as we say yiddified mamerim, for what they are
Geoff you are right of course about the spineless politicians in this country.
reporters are no better, they are so used to witholding truthful comments in arab countries for fear of their lives. this cowardice remains with the bile they throw up as comments

Forget the word ‘bias’; forget the phrase ‘double standard’. They are Jew haters.

Again very typical of the world presses and their agents in ‘negating’ Arab action against Israel while turning Israel’s defenses into ‘acts of terror’. In my opinion, to be on either side of this ‘conflict’ is ‘terror’/'fear’ of being killed or maimed for life due to the ‘bad attitude’ of radical Islam. All the time these arabs claim they are peaceful people, yet after watching documentaries from Gaza, these crazy hamas kill their own civilians who disagree with them. As has been said on this site many times, world leaders need to open their eyes and see the ‘truth’ and cut funding. If they can afford rockets and guns, they can afford food etc. God bless and protect Israel & citizens.

In these times of hardship, Israelis and Jews need to stand together. The actions of the BBC make me deeply ashamed to be a British citizen. But don’t worry. The term “Palestine” will only be said whilst there is still oil in the Arab world. When it runs out, the UN will no longer need to be bribed and we can go back to our prosperous lives in our beautiful homeland.
