'On 13 June 2007, the Israeli parliament chose the veteran politician Shimon Peres to succeed Moshe Katsav, who had taken leave of absence from the presidency earlier in the year after being accused of various sexual offences.
Mr Katsav formally resigned on 29 June after agreeing to plead guilty to several of the offences as part of a plea bargain that removed two rape charges against him.'
The equivalent piece about, the allegedly disease ridden and former terrorist, Yasser Arafat simply reads:
'Former Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, the candidate of the Fatah faction, won the January 2005 poll to replace the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.'No negative comment allowed there.
It also strikes me as odd that the BBC have one entry for Israel and the Palestinian territories not one each; why? Could the BBC realy not bear to have a piece about Israel without comparing the evil of Israel with the good of the Palestinians?
It is at times like this that I despair of the BBC. They are becoming more and more a force for evil in the UK, but what realistically can be done about the problem?

Don't pay the licence fee. Their royal charter requires them to be impartial, thus this bias (and their ongoing left wing bias) means they are in breach of the very charter that allows them, as a private corporate company, to extort us for money. Its a scam that you can opt out of.
