Shooting at Jews in Manchester is of no interest to the BBC

YNet news reports that:

'Unknown assailants targeted the Shaarei Torah Yeshiva in Manchester overnight Sunday, firing shots at the building before escaping from the scene, The Jewish Chronicle website reported on Sunday. No one was wounded in the attack.

According to the report, two cars were seen driving erratically around the yeshiva around 2am Sunday. "Some of the college's 170 students came outside the building to discover the source of the disturbance when a flash was seen and a shot heard coming from the window of one of the cars," The Jewish Chronicle stated.



At least one bullet casing was discovered by students on the road shortly after the cars sped off.
The website reported that large police forces arrived at the scene and shut the road leading to the yeshiva, which is the largest in Manchester.




Report on Jewish Chronicle

A teacher at a school adjacent to the yeshiva told Ynet on Sunday that five shots hit the façade of the building, which has Hebrew writing on it. "Since the incident it is impossible to access the street. Its been blocked off from all sides by police," he said, adding that lately there has been tension surrounding the Jewish community in the area. A Manchester court is currently in the midst of a trial against a Muslim couple accused of plotting to commit a terror attack against the Jewish community. Mohammed Sajid Khan, 33, pleaded guilty to the charges, while his wife Shasta Khan denied involvement.'



The BBC seem to have no record of these shots being fired at a Jewish place of education, even on the Manchester news page, let alone the England or UK front page.

But then why should the BBC cover real attacks on Jews in the UK when there are warnings about Islamaphobia to repeat over and over again?

If this had been a gun attack on an Islamic place of education you can bet your last dollar that it would be reported by the BBC, especially if there was a possibility that Jews were to blame.

I used to think that the BBC were just playing a dangerous game by denigrating Israel and by extension all Jews whilst at the same time minimising criticism of Muslims. Increasingly now I think that British lives are actually being put at risk by the BBC's biased reporting.

Exactly! BBC are so clearly antisemitic! The only attack I have seen on israel so far shown on th main page is the one about the jewish museum vandalism which they are blaming Jews for anyway!
