Shh the British don't need to know all the facts about who's talking to who in the Middle Esat

The BBC report that
"The head of the Lebanese Shia Islamist movement Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, has made a rare public appearance in the Syrian capital, Damascus.

Sheikh Nasrallah attended a dinner with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Both Syria and Iran provide the group with financial and military support. "
'If you can judge a man by his friends...'

The BBC have to remind everyone of the scum that they are dealing with; sorry this is the BBC so the scum are not who a sensible person might expect:
"Hezbollah fought a 33-day war with Israel in 2006 during which more than 1,200 Lebanese people, mostly civilians, were killed. Some 160 Israeli people, most of whom were soldiers, also died. "
The same old figures time and time again, no explanation of the definitions of civilians on the Hamas/Palestinian side or the Hamas tactic of using civilian human shields.

The BBC do report that:
"Before Thursday's dinner, Sheikh Nasrallah and President Ahmadinejad discussed "the latest developments in the region, and Zionist threats against Lebanon and Syria", Hezbollah's al-Manar television reported.

"If the Zionist regime decides to repeat its past mistakes, the region will finish it off," al-Manar quoted the Iranian leader as saying.

After bilateral talks on Thursday, President Assad said Syria and Iran were working together to confront "Israeli terrorism".

Both leaders dismissed US calls for Syria to distance itself from Iran, emphasising their "deep and brotherly" ties. "
But there is something lacking from that piece of coverage, something that can be found in The Washington Post:
"The presidents of Iran and Syria on Thursday ridiculed U.S. policy in the region and pledged to create a Middle East "without Zionists," combining a slap at recent U.S. overtures and a threat to Israel with an endorsement of one of the region's defining alliances.

...

Ahmadinejad, a Holocaust denier, spoke of Israel's eventual "demise and annihilation" and said the countries of the region could create a future "without Zionists and without colonialists.""

There you have a prime example of the BBC casting aspersions on Israel and ignoring what the people representing countries or organisations, two of which are on record as desiring the total destruction of Israel, are saying when they call for the Middle East to be in effect 'judenfrei'.
