BBC Anti-Semitic? Israeli Government Lashes Out at Controversial Report

June 30, 2003 By Toby Westerman Copyright 2003 International News Analysis Today www.inatoday.com

A British Broadcasting Corporation report is drawing the wrath of the Israeli government, which hurled charges of anti-Semitism and threats of retribution against the British broadcaster, according to a report from the online version of the German newsmagazine, Der Spiegel.

The endless stream of anti-Israel and anti-Sharon dreck that the BBC airs and publishes can lead to only one conclusion, that the editorial attitude there is anti-Semitic. In addition, the charges that Israel is using "poison gas" (a charge others, such as Suha Arafat have made only to be proven to be liars) is especially toxic, considering the fact that millions of Jews were gassed in the Holocaust.

The BBC however, appeared to attack it's own government, the US and it's own armed forces during the Iraq war, so much so that most Brits were infuriated. It's a wholly leftist organ now, and needs a purge, in the vein of what has recently occured at the NY Times. And I predict that purge is coming soon.

While I have never read anything about a chemical or bio program, I am not sure why israel is so up in arms about the nuclear comments. Maybe the BBC report was much more inflamatory than was communicated here; I have seen BBC reporting in the past to be very sympathetic to the terrorists and palestinian civilians.
