Not Right: why did the BBC get the Israeli elections so wrong? | BBC Watch

A seriously good article by BBCWatch,  do read it all.

Here's an extract:

' Broadly speaking – and we see this reflected time and time again in its reporting; not only in relation to the elections – the BBC absolves the Palestinian side of the equation of any responsibility for the progress of the peace process (or lack of it) and turns Palestinians into child-like creatures lacking all agency. That approach was reflected in a strange report  which asked Palestinians in Gaza and Ramallah "what the results [of elections in Israel] could mean for them".

Twenty years of waiting for the Oslo Accords to produce positive results means that for many Israelis, the subject of 'the peace process' with the Palestinians is not the most burning issue on the agenda. According to the BBC's accepted wisdom, however, that is the only subject of importance – and one which it frequently mistakenly describes as 'Middle East peace'; as though the rest of the region were a bastion of tolerance and harmony.'

The BBC's hatred of Israel permeates so much of their coverage and one day I will post why I think the BBC hate Israel.
