Challenging the BBC on Israel
(JNS) Melanie Phillips - For decades, the Western media has acted as a malevolent echo chamber for the demonization of Israel. Channeling Palestinian Arab propaganda as if it were fact, the media has twisted the Western mind, inciting it to hate Israel and give Israel's Palestinian Arab persecutors a free pass. Arguably, the BBC's coverage of Israel has caused the most lethal harm. Over the years, the BBC has broadcast incendiary and emotive footage that is sometimes no more than "Pallywood" fiction. It fails to report most attacks on Israelis while, at the same time, unforgivably presenting Israeli military actions to stop these attacks as if Israel were the aggressor and the Palestinians its hapless victims. There is no other country, cause or people that the BBC misrepresents so obsessively. The writer is a columnist for The Times-UK.
