Another British journalist hangs his head in shame over the NUJ. See YNet News, where Chas Newkey Burden heaps scorn on the British media’s view of Israel and describes some eye-opening experiences with editors and colleagues:
The evening after my return from Israel, I met up with some journalists for some drinks in the West End of London. I was again abused for my trip. Their hatred of Israel was matched only by their adoration of the Palestinians. One of them gushed: “Boy, those suicide bombers have got guts. I wish more people in the world had their courage.” Another of them erupted when I told him that most people in Israel wanted a peaceful settlement to the conflict.
