BBC Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen hasn't had much to say about the news from Israel today on Twitter but he has had a fair about to say about the Brexit vote.
I think it's not hard to guess how he voted from this - and note the re-tweet for the 'second referendum' call:
I’m surprised Jeremy Bowen hasn’t picked up on the latest news that Labour is not overrun with ant-Semitism. It must be true. Shami Chakrabarti has said so and it was on the front page of the BBC website.

DeleteI remember just after Morsi and the ("conservative, moderate, and non-violent" / http://biasedbbc.org/blog/2011/11/30/jeremy-bowens-bias-revealed-muslim/) Muslim Brotherhood was ousted from the government by the Egyptian Generals, Abu Dagan (my new name for Bowen, Arabic for "Father of the borne grudge", I think) was heavily critical of such a denial of the democratic process. I would have had sympathy for his point if not for the fact that I knew of his extremism.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't like either result, so naturally democracy was denied in his view.
