Attacks on Israel are not news

A Grad missile is launched from Gaza into Israel and damages apartment and leaves eight people being treated for shock; not a word on the BBC. Meanwhile the Israel Foreign Ministry instructed Israeli ambassadors to file an immediate complaint to the president of the UN Security Council and the Human Rights Council in Geneva following the Grad missile attack in Ashkelon and also the mortar fire in the western Negev on Friday. "In the complaint, Israel will emphasize that the grad missile launch on a city the size of Ashkelon, is a clear attempt to kill men, women and children and is a clear violation of international law and sheds light on the murderous, barbaric and violent intent of the missile attack," said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Yossi Levy. And not a word on the BBC... Well not quite true, not a word until they can report the Israeli response of launching air-strikes on Gaza. Thus the BBC headline 'Hamas fighter 'killed' in Israel air strikes on Gaza' and the first lines
'Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip have killed a Hamas fighter and wounded several other people, reports say.

Missiles struck central Gaza and Gaza City late on Friday; tunnels on the strip's southern border were also hit.

The strikes came after a rocket fired from the coastal enclave by militants earlier on Friday hit the Israeli city of Ashkelon on the Mediterranean coast.

That attack caused no casualties but damaged a building and cars in the city, 12km (7 miles) north of Gaza.'


The BBC where Israel is always at fault.

It's the way they tell 'em!

Bloody disgraceful BBC anti-Israeli propaganda, as usual. It's lucky for them (& unlucky for Truth) that Cameron has been twisted by the FCO Arabists into an anti-Israeli view too, otherwise we might be seeing the coalition enforce the BBC's charter - you know, balanced reporting, that sort of thing.
