Many thanks for giving me the web site which deals with BBC bias.

I recommend J Wire readeres take the time to have a look.

Bias is certainly alive and kicking at the BBC. All that is demanded is that reports be factually accurate and not misleading or deceptive. It is a simple standard for the media to apply. Why is it so difficult to put into practice?

Perhaps the BBC and all other media should engage the services of volunteer Jewish and Arab scrutineers to whom articles are submitted prior to publication to check their factual accuracy with a deadline being required for any objections being required.

The editorial policies of the BBC and the History Channel have clearly failed to prevent the publication of the offending articles I have taken objection to. Maybe independent review as suggested above is now required to try and ensure this unfair practice is ended.

Once published it is very difficult to undo the damage.

This does set the record straight and ensures that readers researching this particular article in future will get the full story.

Two little words can make a difference.

Well done BBC

Now we will have to wait and see what the History Channel does.

Thanks J Wire for running first with this story. It shows that even in far away Australia we can make a difference in ensuring fair and accurate reporting by the world media.

Thank you for referring us to Melanie Phillips article. It is a brilliant exposition detailing the success that Arab propaganda has wrought and points the way to countering such lies and misinformation. It is a wake up call to Israel and those who support the right of the Jews to have their own national home and to ensure it prospers in the future..

Everyone should read and digest its contents.

You are not so bad yourself and are to be admired for your outspokeness. Keep writing and get others to join you.

Invariably those who write anonymously hold views that would damn them in the eyes of their friends, families and associates if they outed themselves publicly. They are gutless individuals living double lives. The internet has given them a platform to spew their hatred. Where they are openly avowed Jew-haters I simply don’t commun icate with them. Their posts stand to condemn them without me having to say a word.

I would rather spend my time in dicussions which seek to resolve the Jewish-Arab conflict – not promote its continuation by using false and misleading propaganda.

“We are living through a global campaign of demonisation and delegitimisation of Israel in which the western media are playing a key role…”.

4000 words, but worth reading each one of them.

At least you have the decency to acknowledge that warnings were given to vacate the building but were ignored by the Britiish. The carnage that resulted could have been avoided if those warnings had been heeded.

Ugly things happen in war and unintended consequences occur. This was such an event.

To equate this incident with the attack on 9/11 on two commercial buildings containing thousands of civilians – carried out without any warnings – indicates that you may be one of those Arab propagandists who seek to spread misinformation with the intention of misleading public opinion. Is that why you choose to remain anonymous?

“The fear and xenophobia of Jews in Palestine” was alive and kicking in Palestine well before 1946.
Try the Arab riots in 1920 and 1929 and the Arab revolt between 1936-1939. The Jews returning to their biblical and legally sanctioned homeland were never welcomed into Palestine by the Arabs. That attitude was to subsequently cause – and is still causing – death, suffering and untold misery for hundreds of thousands of Jews and Arabs.

Your comments – like those of the History Channel – do nothing to assist in a resolution of the conflict. Rather they inflame and incite with the intention of prolonging the conflict by creating a series of myths which are aimed at denigrating Israel and justifying attempts to seek its elimination.
