05-02-06 - Call terrorist acts sterrorism, BBC told BBC sources expressed surprise that the report accused the corporation of demonstrating bias towards Israel, contrary to the perception that the BBC is pro-Palestinian. I'm not surprised. There was a study done about this very topic in the UK which demonstrated their NOTED BIAS toward Israel. They are NOT pro-Palestinian as the pro-Israelis would have eveyone believe. The UK news sources are just NOT PRO-ISRAELI enough for the Israeli lobby's liking - and that is especially true for the Israeli lobby in America - where NOT ONE WHIFF of anything that would even remotely depict Palestinians as anything other than terrorists is allowed. A BBC official met with Ariel Sharon last fall, and since then the BBC coverage of the I-P conflict has grown MORE pro-Israel. I don't believe that that is a coincidence.

"It does not help Israel and it does not help American Jews to appear to be stimulators of any action against Iran," If the shoe fits.
