A major global Jewish group listed the
BBC
third on its annual “Global Antisemitism Top Ten List,” prompting a flustered response from the publicly-funded British broadcaster.
Yes, all of us who watch TV in the UK have to fund this disgusting, utterly biased so-called news and broadcasting organisation.
The only groups more biased and hateful were, predictably, Iran and the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
Rabbi Marvin Hier, head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center,
told the
Daily Mail
that the
BBC
came so high on the list — just behind Iran and the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas — because it was “guilty of several incidences of antisemitism during the past year.”
“People might assume we would put neo-Nazi groups on our list,” Heir said, “but the
BBC
is there because when a globally recognized organization allows antisemitism to creep into its reporting, it makes it all the more insidious and dangerous.”
Hier pointed to the network’s widely-criticized reporting of an antisemitic attack in London last month, in which a group of men
made
Nazi salutes and yelled “Free Palestine” at a bus filled with Jewish passengers.
“The
BBC
falsely reported that a victim on the bus used an anti-Muslim slur,” he pointed out. “But what was heard on tape was a distressed Jewish man speaking in Hebrew appealing for help.”
Despite audio evidence, the
BBC
has refused to correct its report.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center also pointed to a scandal involving a former
BBC
journalist who was caught tweeting antisemitic statements like “Hitler was right.”
Hier echoed accusations that the network harbours a bias against Israel, citing a case in which a
BBC
producer claimed “an Israeli settler” had attempted to ram a Palestinian with his car.
“In fact, the car drove on to the pavement after an attempt by Palestinians to lynch the Jewish driver who lost control of the vehicle,” Hier said.
This is how a BBC press officer spun it:
He said: “Antisemitism is abhorrent. The
BBC
strives to serve the Jewish community, and all communities across our country, fairly with accurate and impartial reporting.”
Alan Franklin comments: Most people I know assume that everything the BBC puts out as "news" is slanted in favour of every disgusting trend in the modern world.
They have an agenda, as people who have worked there have revealed.
