Four Palestinians killed in a refugee camp and yet the BBC are not covering the story; why?

Four people were killed in a Palestinian refugee on Monday and yet the BBC are not reporting the story; how odd.

Well it would be odd if the victims had been killed by Israeli soldiers as the BBC love to report such stories that show Israel as a brutal and vile regime. However in this case the Palestinian 'refugees' were killed in Syria by Syrians so the story is just not newsworthy to the BBC.

The Lebanon Daily Star has the story:
'Four people were killed at the Yarmuk Palestinian refugee camp in the Syrian capital on Monday after the funerals of nine people killed by Israeli fire on the Golan Heights, witnesses said.
  
They said two people were shot by militants of the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, and the PFLP-GC said two of its people were also killed.
  
Parents of those killed on the Golan blamed the heads of Palestinian groups based in Damascus, in particular PFLP-GC chief Ahmed Jibril, the witnesses said.
  
"Members of the PFLP-GC opened fire, killing two Palestinians," one resident of the camp said.
  
The group issued a statement saying that two of its senior men were also killed, naming them as central committee member Nasser Mubarak and Khaled al-Rayyan, an administrator.
  
The PFLP-GC in a statement accused "suspect groups... motivated by hostile feelings towards the resistance" of attacking Palestinian leaders.'
The Electronic Intifada has coverage and a very disturbing piece of video that is not a 'Pallywood production' as it shows one demonstrator being shot in the head; only view it if you have a strong stomach...


The BBC's transparent hatred of Israel blinds it to what else is happening in the world in general and the Middle East in particular; their news coverage is not impartial, it is designed to further a narrative.
