Who's really hit a nerve with Jon Donnison?


Someone is very sore about BBC Watch. You might also say #obsessed. 

Jon Donnison, though back in Oz (where his job is to report on Australian affairs), is still obsessively tweeting about Gaza at the moment. And about BBC Watch and CiF Watch. And, yet again, he's happily scrapping with an Israeli spokesman, this time Yiftah Curiel, Spokesperson of the Embassy of Israel in London.

Here's what's been happening so far:

@JonDonnison @BBCWatch you can surely appreciate the importance of media watchdogs, exposing bias, pointing to errors, fake photos etc...

@JonDonnison that’s a bit harsh on Mr Palmer.

 Jon Donnison ‏@JonDonnison  4h
@yiftahc @BBCWatch No. They're (she is) embarrassing. Do/does Israel a disservice. #crywolf

“@duncana_: @JonDonnison that’s a bit harsh on Mr Palmer.

I think @BBCWatch does an excellent job holding a mirror to the BBC. Not everyone likes what they see @JonDonnison #bias @yiftahc

  Jeff Gazzard ‏@JeffGazzard  4h
@JonDonnison @BBCWatch Unfair. CP was useless not barking

 Jon Donnison ‏@JonDonnison  4h
@yiftahc as an official representative of the Israeli govt, I am surprised you associate yourself with such a fridge, one trick pony group.

 Jon Benjamin ‏@JonBenja  3h
@yiftahc @JonDonnison @BBCWatch Quite right Yifta. If allegations r rebuttable, rebut away, but b prepared to face critics, b held to acct.

 Yiftah Curiel ‏@yiftahc  3h
@JonDonnison you obviously have deep personal issues with @BBCWatch, I'll leave you to it; be careful of the rocks and glass house though

  Jeff Gazzard ‏@JeffGazzard  3h
@JonDonnison @BBCWatch For clarity, elements of the Communist Party were too. Although not the underlying principles of Marxist/Leninism.

@JonDonnison @yiftahc @BBCWatch She's embarrassing you, that's for sure. #Shame to bias reporting.

  Neil Turner ‏@NeilofWatford  3h
.@JonDonnison Methinks he protesteth too much. Apologies to Shakespeare, but not to Donnison. Must be great to be totally unaccountable.

  Jon Donnison ‏@JonDonnison  3h
@yiftahc I am sure they/she feel (s) reassured that as on official representative of The Israeli government they/she have/has your backing.

  Murray Freedman ‏@fcdesign_murray  3h
@JonDonnison @BBCWatch Sounds to me like BBC Watch has hit a nerve. Why else would you keep mentioning it?

 Yiftah Curiel ‏@yiftahc  3h
@JonDonnison don't put words in my mouth; all I'm saying is, you are well placed to appreciate the importance of media watchdogs, R we done?

@JonDonnison I have yet to see @BBCWatch be wrong, but you are wrong all the time. Your biased reporting does you a disservice.

@JonDonnison @yiftahc @BBCWatch why a disservice?
