The BBC's institutional anti Israel stance is clear today as they headline the news from the Israel / Gaza border. Every civilian death is a crime, etc. etc.
Oddly I can't even recall the BBC's coverage of this attack by Saudi Arabia on Yemen:
'At least 20 people including the bride were killed when an air strike by the Saudi-led coalition hit a wedding party in northern Yemen, health officials have said.
The dead were mostly women and children gathered in a tent set up for the wedding in the Bani Qayis district, according to Khaled al-Nadhri, the leading health official in the north-western Hajjah province.'
Why the disparity in levels of reporting?
Institutional anti Israel sentiment - obviously.
Fear of criticising the Saudi regime - possibly.
Unwillingness to upset the Sunni Muslim population of the UK - possibly.
Anti semitism - possibly.
