The BBC are happy to report that they've found some Jewish Israeli extremists

This story is currently being pushed on the BBC Middle East news website, successfully so as it features in the top 10 most read articles. Well done BBC, they have managed to find a minor Jewish group and give them full publicity. Here's an extract from that piece:

'Rabbis Dov Lior and Yacob Yousef had endorsed a highly controversial book, the King's Torah - written by two lesser-known settler rabbis. It justifies killing non-Jews, including those not involved in violence, under certain circumstances.

The fifth chapter, entitled "Murder of non-Jews in a time of war" has been widely quoted in the Israeli media. The summary states that "you can kill those who are not supporting or encouraging murder in order to save the lives of Jews".

At one point it suggests that babies can justifiably be killed if it is clear they will grow up to pose a threat.'

Disgusting sentiments but have the BBC yet mentioned the recent opinion poll showing that '73% of Palestinians Want Jews Annihilated', have the BBC ever reported the genoicidal statements of various Hamas and Fatah leaders:

'Hamas cleric Ziyad Abu al-Haj's Friday sermon of 3 April 2009 in which he said "The time will come, by Allah’s will, when their property will be destroyed and their children will be exterminated, and no Jew or Zionist will be left on the face of this earth."?

Dr. Ahmed Yousuf Abu Halabiah, a member of the Palestinian Sharia (Islamic religious law) Rulings Council, and Rector of Advanced Studies at the Islamic University on 13 October 2000 "The Jews are the Jews. There never was among them a supporter of peace. They are all liars… They are terrorists. Therefore it is necessary to slaughter them and murder them, according to the words of Allah… It is forbidden to have mercy in your hearts for the Jews in any place and in any land. Make war on them any place that you find yourself. Any place that you meet them – kill them. Kill the Jews and those among the Americans who are like them… The Jews only understand might. Have no mercy on the Jews, murder them everywhere."

Another quotation from a Hamas/Fatah leader: "The time will come, by Allah’s will, when their property will be destroyed and their children will be exterminated, and no Jew or Zionist will be left on the face of this earth."

This is so similar to this long running complaint that I am tempted not to complain. However if I don't, who will? These people need holding to account.

Full complaint: This BBC article is currently being pushed on the BBC Middle East news website, successfully so as it features in the top 10 most read articles. Well done BBC you have managed to find a minor Jewish group and give them full publicity. Here's an extract from that piece: 'Rabbis Dov Lior and Yacob Yousef had endorsed a highly controversial book, the King's Torah - written by two lesser-known settler rabbis.

The summary states that "you can kill those who are not supporting or encouraging murder in order to save the lives of Jews". At one point it suggests that babies can justifiably be killed if it is clear they will grow up to pose a threat.' Disgusting sentiments and worth reporting BUT could you show me where the BBC have reported the recent opinion poll that showed that 73% of Palestinians Want Jews Annihilated? Could you also show me where the BBC have ever reported the genoicidal statements of various Hamas and Fatah leaders, such as these: 'Hamas cleric Ziyad Abu al-Haj's Friday sermon of 3 April 2009 in which he said "The time will come, by Allah’s will, when their property will be destroyed and their children will be exterminated, and no Jew or Zionist will be left on the face of this earth."?

Make war on them any place that you find yourself. Any place that you meet them – kill them. Kill the Jews and those among the Americans who are like them… The Jews only understand might. Have no mercy on the Jews, murder them everywhere." Reporting the vile comments of a minor Israeli faction whilst ignoring the more frequent genoicidal comments of senoir figures in the Palestinian leadership does not look like impartiality to me.
