More unbiased reporting by the BBC

Just Journalism report that:

'BBC Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen has admitted in an analysis article for the BBC News website that the recent strain in relations between Israel and the US has been ‘enjoyable’.

In ‘Analysis: Bleak climate for Mid-East talks,’ published on Sunday 9 May, the head of Middle East coverage at the BBC examined the background to the recent resumption of (indirect) talks between Israel and the Palestinians. In an undeniably candid move, Bowen wrote the following:

‘It has been an unusual and enjoyable new experience to be able to look on as the Israelis argued with their most important ally. The fact that the dispute is over Jewish settlements is even better for the Palestinian.

His choice of words here reveals a strong personal sense of satisfaction at Israel’s diplomatic difficulties, not in line with the BBC editorial policy’

There is more in the linked article including Jeremy Bowen's lamentable attempt at an explanation.

'Jeremy Bowen responded to our report via email, saying that there was a ‘glitch in [his] editing process’ and that when calling a chill in U.S.-Israelirelations ‘enjoyable’ he had meant to attribute this view to the Palestinians. The article was subsequently amended on the BBC News website but no acknowledgement of an error was made.'

The BBC's bias disgust me in so many ways but their treatment of Israel is maybe the most disgusting of all their biases.



Thanks to Israelly Cool for the spot.
