The BBC and their choice of words to omit from an article

The BBC report on the arrest and hunger strike of Khader Adnan in the usual fare from the BBC, a one-sided piece of pro-Palestinian propaganda. Here's the whole text of the BBC piece, reproduced complete for a reason:

'A Palestinian prisoner being held in Israel without charges or trial has begun his 10th week of a hunger strike.

Khader Adnan has not eaten since mid-December when he was arrested by Israeli forces at his West Bank home.

Doctors say that after 64 days without food the prisoner is at immediate risk of death.

Israel says he is a security threat. Its high court of justice has scheduled a petitions hearing regarding the case for Thursday.

The group Phsyicians for Human Rights said after visiting him in hospital in Israel that he had lost a third of his body weight and was shackled to his bed.

He has agreed to take glucose and mineral infusions but could die at any time, the group said. It says Mr Adnan has suffered "significant muscular atrophy".

The 33-year-old baker is being held under what Israeli law calls administrative detention, meaning he can be held without trial or charges indefinitely if he is deemed to be a security threat.

He has been told he will be held for four months, although that could be extended.

Rally staged

Earlier this week thousands of Palestinians rallied in Gaza and the West Bank in support of Mr Adnan, who is widely believed to be a member of the militant group Islamic Jihad.

The group has said it will retaliate if Mr Adnan dies.

He is protesting against what he says was a violent arrest as well as his detention without trial.
Israel's high court of justice granted Thursday's petitions hearing in response to a request from Mr Adnan's lawyers, who are trying to secure his release.

The European Union's foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, said she was following Mr Adnan's case with great concern.

She said prisoners had the right to be informed of any charges and to be subject to a fair trial.'

Has there been some rewriting of the piece for the only mention of Khader Adnan's membership of Islamic Jihad is in the middle of the piece but the digest of the BBC article shows this information rather higher up the article

Here are some more facts about Khader Adnan that the BBC choose not to report:
1) Islamic Jihad has been labelled as a terrorist group by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada and Australia as well as Israel.

2) Islamic Jihad's avowed goal is the destruction of the state of Israel and its replacement with an Islamic state.

3) MSNBC, YNET, Associated Press, Xinhua News Agency and Bahrain Gulf Daily News all acknowledge that Khader Adnan served as a spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). Even The Guardian admit that he was a "one-time spokesman" for the PIJ in the past.

4) Previously the BBC have described Khader Adnan as a leader of the PIJ in the West Bank. This view has been shared by CNN and Al Jazeera and other news agencies.

5) In 2010, the Palestinian Authority arrested Khader Adnan and held him for 12 days, during which time he went on a hunger strike.

I wonder why the BBC have chosen to admit the above facts, it is almost as though they are following an anti-Israel agenda. What a shame that the Balen report has not been published, a report that no doubt clears the BBC of anti-Israel bias;l or does it?
