BBC FAILS TO REVEAL TRUTH ABOUT HAMAS

BBC FAILS TO REVEAL TRUTH ABOUT HAMAS\

In a report on Hamas by BBC News online on the 7^th February 2013, those reading the article were not given an accurate picture about the activities of Hamas or what it stands for. A link to the article can be found on the BBC website here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-21363104

The report in question failed to highlight Hamas’s continued opposition to the peace process due to its commitment to the destruction of Israel and its clear antisemitism as shown by its own charter, which refers to the antisemitic forgery, The Elders of Zion. In doing so the BBC is once again demonstrating bias against Israel, meaning it is failing in its own charter commitments to accurate and balanced reporting.

Chairman of the ZF (Zionist Federation), Paul Charney said, “Yet again in its coverage of Israel, the BBC is letting down the licence fee payers by providing a false picture of Hamas that ignores the fact that it is a violent terrorist group committed to the destruction of Israel. “

The Zionist Federation and all its members will continue to call on Israel to be given a fair hearing in the media.
