BBC Headline Parrots Syrian Terror Charge Against Israel

The BBC has discovered the "T" word courtesy of the despicable Syrian regime.

By May 05, 2013

The BBC has noticeably failed to acknowledge that acts of terror against Israeli civilians are exactly that, and that Palestinians who murderously target Israeli civilians with knives, rockets and suicide bombs are terrorists.

However the BBC has discovered the “T” word courtesy of the despicable Syrian regime of Bashar al Assad that is responsible for indiscriminately killing men, women and children in a civil war that has cost the lives of some 70,000 people over the past three years.

Yes, that’s right – Israel is the one associated with terrorists. And how do we know? The Syrians said so.

Take a look at BBC News website’s homepage:

And the article itself:

That’s an awful lot of terror for the BBC that appears to be taking the propaganda of the Syrian regime just a little bit too seriously.

Could the BBC’s headline writers be any more pathetic?
