BBC radio 4 clearly hadn't said anything against Israel for some time so made headline news of Kirby's statement against the settlements ( about a week after he said it)<br />Yochanan Visser: reacting to the approval of 800 new housing units for Jews and 600 for Arab residents in the Jerusalem area, the State Department on Wednesday accused Israel of systematically seizing "Palestinian land." Apparently, State Department spokesman John Kirby based his statement on inciting and incorrect information he received from the Palestinian side. No settlement will be expanded outside existing zone plans. Furthermore, the announcement of the plan was, in fact, phase two in a long procedure that started in 2012 when a planning committee approved the proposal. His accusation that there is "a systematic process of land seizures" is false; the plan doesn't involve land expropriation. The only construction plan that is scheduled to be executed outside an existing neighborhood is the building of 600 units for Arabs near the existing Arab neighborhood of Beit Safafa<br />http://www.westernjournalism.com/obama-administrations-latest-attack-on-israel-based-on-palestinian-disinformation/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-75853793481880040202016-07-30T11:34:21.486+01:002016-07-30T11:34:21.486+01:00I have just come across this blog site which I hav...I have just come across this blog site which I have found very interesting. I am a Roman Catholic and very aware of BBC bias.. yes, and also aware of the at times serious failings of a very human Church; and also of at times, the actions of a naturally flawed Israel. <br /><br />However, I totally agree that there are narratives which the BBC and others here mentioned, obediently adhere to which for an extremely powerful world voice makes them irresponsibly dangerous. Truth is what we seek from such organisations, this should be the only agenda. Israel has been dishonestly made into a pariah state, and now the scapegoat for these growing evils.. ring any bells from over the centuries?Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07890825493180072828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-9393310820592900362016-07-29T15:45:00.049+01:002016-07-29T15:45:00.049+01:00It's all Israel's fault.

Not because he wants to be but because (a) he is a bit thick and (b) he's obviously not one of your "true believer" ideologues like, say, Jonathan Freedland. Anyway, on Wednesday he let slip re the economic figures "That's not what we thought was going to happen, doom and armageddon..." or some such. It was the "we" that was important, because it obviously signalled he was part of the gang who believed the Remain predictions. I suspect the "we" was just one of those BBC things = "us at the BBC" + "our mates who work for the Guardian, Reuters, Times, Mirror, Financial Times and Independent" + "Labour, Green and SNP - the people we vote for" + "all right thinking people out there".

He knows les bien pensants of the Radio 4 listenership will be appalled to hear the reference to Israel but that is his intention, so the truth sinks in...the terrorism we face on our streets is exactly the same as faced by Israel whether it be in Tel Aviv or elsewhere. <br /><br />I am truly appalled by the BBC's coverage of the IS offensive in Europe. <br /><br />They are really in PC denial, flailing around for any excuse. <br /><br />But, there is a wider issue, that the BBC and the all the rest of the MSM fail to address, that Jihad is conducted on multiple levels (quite like Bolshevist Communism was in the 20th century - using terrorism, formal war, agitation, propaganda, virtue signalling, the arts (ironically in Islam's case) etc).<br /><br />For me there is essentially no difference between the assault on the approved nudist bathers in Germany by followers of Islam, the campaigns to make Hijab wearing acceptable in the public sphere, special exceptions for Muslim schoolchildren from uniform requirements or lesson attendance, or BBC bake-off propaganda on its "sofa TV" output, or Sharia courts sitting in the UK, electoral corruption or the parallel school system - and acts of Jihadi violence. In fact in many ways the acts of violence are more easily dealt with, as opposed to what the Germans used to call the "Kulturkampf" as long as they are relatively low level as we have seen in the UK (something like a 9-11 attack is of course of a different order). <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
