The BBC with a story they want to tell and a story that they happily do not report

The BBC are pleased to report that:

'Israeli orthodox rabbi stirs up racism debate

From a pine-covered mountaintop in the far north of Israel, the Sea of Galilee is just visible through the mist below.

This is the idyllic setting for Tzfat, as it is known in Hebrew, or Safed, as Arabic-speakers call it, a holy place for Jews. It is said to have been founded by a son of Noah after the great flood.

In the past few weeks it has also become famous for a decree made by its chief rabbi who instructed residents not to rent rooms or houses to Israeli Arabs.'

Do read the rest of the report, it's the usual BBC anti-Israel piece.

Oddly I can see nowhere on the BBC any report about Palestinian Chairman Abbas's statement pre the resumption of peace talks that:

"I will never allow a single Israeli to live among us on Palestinian land,"

So when a minor 'Chief Rabbi' makes a rule that at most will apply in one town in Israel, the BBC report the news. But when the head of the Palestinian Authority makes a statement that affects the whole of the Palestinian Territories that is not deemed to be news. Why?
