UK Jews: BBC biased against Israel

As the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is set to welcome former Times newspaper editor James Harding as its new director of current affairs, Jews in the United Kingdom are likely to be hopeful that the broadcaster is more friendly to Israel in its news coverage after a report found that nearly four out of five Jews believe the network is biased against the Jewish state. …

The report, based on an online poll by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research, found that even though most Jews believe the BBC doesn’t support Israel enough, they still watch it anyway, with 88% tuning in, compared to only 49% for ITV and 44% for Channel 4. …

It’s not as if they can choose not to fund the BBC. It’s state media, then again, they could just dodge taxes like most of the population. I wouldn’t want to pay taxes to such a pathetic government either.

BBC is biased against Israel that stands stalwartly in the way of the evil Muslim Arab horde taking over the tiny, but highly important nation. This nation actually produces important contributions other than child bombers and errant missiles.

I believe, having stated the above, that ABC,NBC, CBS, MSNBC and a few others in America are biased against Israeli Jewry. With a paragon of Jewry in America like the Cheshire cat-like, grinning like an idiot Chuckie Schumer what leftist jackass would be biased against this evil turd?

Israel will soldier along and overcome this if the US will just stay out of its way with the usual meddling and mucking about the region in a juvenile attempt to thwart the destruction that will surely rain down upon the damned evil Muslims.

(How’s that for a too long sentence filled with hyperbole?)

A clue. The whole world needs several of them, but the world would rather walk without the light; those of the world prefer the darkness...

Short answer: any of my fellow Jews waiting for the world to become more friendly to our religion is stupid or on drugs. Or a Liberal (but I repeat myself). “Hoping” a new broadcast boss in an increasingly Islamic/Jew-hating nation will fill that role is a waste of neurons.

So, now tell us something we don’t know.
