GUEST POST BY PETER MULLEN
Here’s a
fresh piece of balanced and unbiased reporting from the good old BBC. The
Corporation’s support for the Palestinian cause and its hatred of
Israel admits no impediment,
not even when the BBC itself had to admit hiring lawyers at massive cost to the
licence-payer to suppress its own report revealing – you wouldn’t believe it –
its own bias against Israel
For its
latest trick, the BBC exults over the prospect of an alliance between the two
main Palestinian parties, Fatah and Hamas and reports Khaled Meshaal, leader of
Hamas as saying:
"We are consulting
about forming a government of national accord. Preparations for presidential,
parliamentary and executive council elections are under way. We are
reinvigorating the Palestine Liberation Organisation and organising its meetings
until new national council and executive committee are
elected."
This is
disingenuous even by the standards of BBC reporting on events in the Middle East . The Corporation consistently urges the
resumption of peace talks between the Palestinians and the Israelis but
perversely omits to tell us that Hamas opposes this effort for peace because it
has publicly and repeatedly committed itself to the destruction of
Israel
The description of
Hamas as terrorists is not my private opinion. Its members and supporters have
long been the promoters and perpetrators of acts of terror, slaughter and
mayhem. Moreover Hamas is officially designated a terrorist organisation by the
US , the UK Middle East more
than hot air, then surely, in their report of Mr Meshaal’s speech, they would
have reminded licence-payers of Hamas’ unreformed terrorist record and
ambitions?
