"Earlier this month, Israel launched a devastating bombardment of rocket-propelled grenades and machine-gun fire against a mosque in Rafah. The attack killed at least 22 Palestinians, including an 11-year-old girl. Over 100 more were injured and the mosque, which belonged to an Islamist faction, the Jund Ansar Allah, was left riddled with bullets. The adjacent building was destroyed. Yet Israel's disregard for the sanctity of a house of worship, and its contempt for the lives of neighbouring civilians, is unlikely to be the subject of any probing reports from Human Rights Watch."Oh sorry, my mistake.... That would be a story that the BBC would cover and would fulminate over and "Today" would aggressively interview Ron Prosor. However the truth us that I replaced "Hamas" with "Israel" in the above passage and deleted the word "rival" from before "Islamist faction".
So why are the BBC not covering this story? Could it be because it does not fit the narrative they like to spread? Maybe the Balen report would give us some answers...
More on BBC bias in their coverage of Israel tomorrow.
