The BBC's definition of a ceasefire 'holding' is instructive

The BBC report in a piece headed 'Gaza crisis: Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement holds' that:
'A ceasefire between Israel and the Islamist Hamas movement that runs the Gaza Strip appeared to be holding on Thursday.

Israel radio said some rockets had been fired from Gaza, but there was no sign of an Israeli response.'
So the ceasefire is holding because Israel hasn't responded to Hamas rockets. However the firing of Hamas rockets does not break the ceasefire!

Just as before the recent Israeli retaliation, the BBC will minimise coverage of rockets fired from Gaza at Israel, will minimise coverage of other attacks on Israelis launched by Palestinian terrorists BUT will be ready to cast the full glare of their news coverage if Israel dares to retaliate.

The BBC is institutionally anti-Israel, that much is clear.
