The BBC humanising Palestinians after de-humanising Israelis

The BBC's reporting or the murder of five Jewish Israelis was noticeable for its lack of photos of the Fogel family, however the BBC's report concerning the death of two Palestinians killed by the Israeli military near the 'no go zone' does include a picture of one of the Palestinian dead along with the description 'Funeral of Emad Faragallah, one of two 17-year-olds killed at the Gaza-Israel border '.

Why has the BBC included this picture of a dead Palestinian killed for approaching the no-go zone fence subsequent to Hamas firing 50 missiles at Israel but not of any of the Fogel family killed whilst they slept? Other than a wish to dehumanise Israelis and induce sympathy for Palestinians I can think of no good reason.

So to try and counteract the BBC's dehumanising of the Fogel family...

The Fogel family have also released photos of the five family members murdered by Palestinians, I am till not sure whether I want to show them here but the family have given full permission for their use in order to report on the horrific reality of murdering children and babies in their sleep, "simply because they are Jewish."
So here is one of the photos that the BBC could have printed but didn't.

 That's what an 11 year old Jewish Israeli child who has had his throat cut looks like. That's what results from Palestinians teaching their children that all Jews deserve to die. The evidence is all over the internet, there's plenty of articles on this blog, just look around.

In the past I have accused the BBC of bias, now I accuse them of deliberately helping to protect Palestinian murderers from justified censure.

Who's innocent?

I have bloged before about the Islamic terrorist definition of 'innocent' but here's another example. Israelly Cool report from an interview by Gaza Dispatches with the first Hamas femaile minister, Jamila al-Shanti, amongst other things the first minister for women. Here's the relevant part of the interview:

'Question: Many people in America think that the September 11th attacks are similar to the suicide bombings in Israeli buses and coffee shops. They both kill civilians, like innocent women and children.

Answer: It’s different. How is it the same? The suicide bombings kill people who kill me….These women in the coffee shops also came to my land and came to fight me. Women in Israel are soldiers as well. The owners of the cafés built their cafés on my land and the attendants of the cafés come to fight me.

What about the children [who are killed]?

The children are killed by mistake. The children are not targets, but they die in the incidents.'

So women and civilians killed by Islamic terrorists are not innocent and their children 'are killed by mistake'. Remember this the next time you hear an Islamic apologist claim that Islam prohibits the killing of innocents.



For more on this suject area, may I commend this from 2011, this from 2010 and this from 2008.

Neda Soltani

A previously unknown woman has unfortunately become an internet star. Neda Soltani was protesting in Tehran when she was shot by a basij member apparently hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house.

This video shows Neda Soltani being shot:


This more disturbing video shows her bloodied body and should not be watched by the squeamish:


This video shows Neda Soltani at the protest before she was shot:



I hope that Neda Soltani did not die in vain and that the weak light of freedom is allowed to light up the dark heart of Iran.
