BBC propagandising on behalf of Hamas

The BBC radio news this morning reported that UNWRA had described "an attack" on a school in Gaza as a "war crime" and wanted Israel investigated for "war crimes". UNWRA was described as the UN agency devoted to helping the Palestinian refugees. Of course Jeremy Bowen was on hand to put forward his completely unbiased (sic) opinion. When the BBC described UNWRA as the UN organisation tasked with looking after Palestinians, it did not report the salient fact that in their own words "UNRWA employs some 24,324 staff, of whom more than 99 per cent are locally-recruited Palestinians, almost all of them Palestine refugees." Might the fact that UNWRA is 99% Palestinian make their views a touch biased? Might the BBC not think that fact worth mentioning? If not, why not?

It is a war crime to hide armed forces amongst the civilian population, so either Hamas is committing war crimes on a daily basis or the BBC accept that the whole population of Gaza are militarised. I would feel most unhappy with the second explanation, but the BBC will not criticise Hamas, almost whatever they do. The BBC were supporters of Hamas before the Alan Johnston kidnap but since his release they have become shameless in their support.

As well holding demonstrations in support of Israel I think that concerned Britons should hold a silent protest outside of the BBC drawing attention to the way that the BBC have been silencing pro-Israeli opinions in their coverage of the current war.
