Its shocking!
I know some reports from past events have been biased against Israel. ( as such )

BBC regrets headline that victimized Jerusalem attackers
News service admits it was inappropriate to ignore Israeli victim and focus on slain Palestinians who instigated the violence.
The BBC on Sunday apologized for a headline it published when reporting on a Palestinian terror attack in Jerusalem on Friday, admitting that its focus on the three slain assailants, rather than the Israeli victim, was inappropriate.

Israel lodges formal complaint over BBC coverage of Gaza violence. (9 August 2018, )
Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Thursday morning accused the BBC of deliberately lying about the recent violence in Gaza and southern Israel, demanding it change a headline that said Israel killed a pregnant woman and her child in Gaza, but omitted the Palestinian rocket fire at Israeli civilians that preceded Israel’s retaliatory airstrikes.

Israel raps BBC for ‘unethical’ terror attack headline
Al-Jazeera’s reporting sparks outrage on social media; neither network describes Saturday killings as terrorism.
They (BBC) printed:
“Palestinian shot dead after Jerusalem attack kills two.”

The Government Press Office on Sunday warned the BBC it could face sanctions for running a news headline highlighting the death of the Palestinian terrorist shot by police Saturday after fatally stabbing two Israelis, rather than the attack itself.

Officials in both the GPO and the Israeli Embassy in London asked the network to change the headline and it was changed at least three times, but each time to a phrase that did not accurately reflect the events of Saturday’s attack, the Hebrew language NRG website reported.
The network, which has a long history of alleged anti-Israel bias, claimed in its defence that the headline in question was written by a junior editor and was not the result of an anti-Israel agenda.

According to a GPO official, Israel expects an official apology from the network, and said the office was considering annulling the press cards of BBC journalists, a decision that if implemented would not allow the network to continue operating in Israel.

The Qatar-based network al-Jazeera also came under fire for publishing a similarly misleading headline on social media to its story of Saturday’s stabbing.

“Palestinian shot dead after fatal stabbing in Jerusalem; 2 Israeli victims also killed,” the tweet read.

Following the outcry, the network apologized and revised the headline to read, “Two Israelis killed in stabbing attack; Palestinian suspect shot dead.”

"The BBC is still investigating one of its journalists almost one week after it emerged she had tweeted ‘Hitler was right’. Tala Halawa, who is based in the West Bank city of Ramallah, is the ‘Palestine specialist’ for BBC Monitoring".

If this is correct and validated sinkov, she ought to be fired on the spot and left to rot in Ramallah.

[Balanbam00]

Its correct.

Palestinian BBC journalist tweeted ‘#HitlerWasRight’ in 2014 comment on Gaza war
Tala Halawa, at the time working for a Palestinian radio station, also wrote ‘Israel is more Nazi than Hitler,’ ‘Zionists can’t get enough of our blood’; BBC says probing matter.

Honest Reporting, an Israeli organization whose mission statement is “promoting fairness and accuracy in media coverage of Israel,” offered a screen capture on Sunday of a tweet by Tala Halawa, whose account on the LinkedIn social network lists her as a “Digital Journalist at BBC Monitoring,” a position she began in 2017.

Honest Reporting also cited what it said were additional 2014 tweets by Halawa, including where she wrote “Zionists can’t get enough of our blood” and “anti-Semitism melodrama is not trending anymore you stupid Zionists.”

Sack the bitch.

Sack the bitch.

You have to ask why she was considered fit for employment by the BBC in the first place BT, her views were known, she didn't hide them.

And the reason is, the BBC is infested with people who sympathise with her views. it would never occur to the mindset of those running the BBC that her views could be considered 'problematic'. She wouldn't have been awarded the position of 'Palestine Specialist' by accident, the hierarchy at the BBC would have thought her ideally suited to the job, the perfect candidate.

Six of us (shock, awe!) had a very pleasant dinner last night and the after dinner conversation found its way to anti-Semitism.

Please bear in mind we are located nearer to the Prestwich/Whitefield area than you are sinkov so we see the issue happening before our very eyes.

Sadly, we all had to agree anti-Semitism is rife in this country.

Two of our fellow diners happen to be Jewish, and some of the tales and testimonies they were telling were spine tingling and really quite shocking.

I can honestly inform you they are a lot more scared of people like Tala Halawa than Jeremy Corbyn. We have a problem in this country, it's the big elephant in the room, they worship some dude from the eighth century and we are not allowed to even draw a caricature of the guy in case we cause a riot.

We live in fearful times. Jews especially.

How data and AI drove the IDF operation in Gaza

https://www.ynetnews.com/magazine/ar...S6Y00#autoplay

A small rocket lands on the roof of a house in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, at the height of the fighting earlier this month. Fired from an Israeli military aircraft, it is designed to serve as a warning to the residents and neighbours of the house that an airstrike was on the way. The targeted house belongs to Muhammad Bawab, leader of Hamas' East Rafah Brigade.

Several members of the Israeli security forces, including reservists from the Intelligence Directorate and Shin Bet operatives, crowd together in a room, monitoring video footage filmed by an IDF drone hovering over the house.
The room is an "attack cell." "Bawab was in charge of the unit that seized the bodies of Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul," referring to the two IDF soldiers whose remains have been held in Gaza since the 2014 war in which they fell.

Now his home is seconds away from being attacked, as happened to many other senior officials of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The mission is halted when an officer says that the drone's operator has spotted a group of people under a palm tree near the house and that they are at risk of getting hurt.

The latter picks up the phone, dialed and began speaking in Arabic with a distinct Palestinian accent, his tone soft and courteous.
The person on the other end is Bawab's neighbour, whose number the Shin Bet obtained before the operation, should such a situation arise.
"You are under the palm tree, near the house. Go away, there's a one-ton bomb coming and you are going to get hurt," the Shin Bet operative says in Arabic. The neighbor assures him that he would move the group of people away, and after several minutes they begin to disperse. But the drone operator sees three people still at the scene and informs the officer they are not leaving. The people in the room decide to launch a small rocket at the nearby road to make them truly understand they are in danger.
Fif**** seconds later, an aircraft launches an anti-tank missile that does not spread shrapnel when it explodes. After it hits the nearby asphalt, the people under the palm tree start scattering.

The head of the cell nods to the other officer, who gives permission to the pilot to attack.
The room falls silent as a timer started counting down 15 seconds. The bomb hits, sending plumes of smoke into the air from the rubble of the house.
The "next thing" the army and the Shin Bet are working on is a strategy to prevent the massive rocket salvos without using ground forces to neutralize the launchers. Military officials are also sure that what the army has demonstrated it can do during the fighting in Gaza could also be implemented in a possible war against Hezbollah or even Syria or Iran.

I do know the area BT, we always drive through it on our not infrequent visits to Manchester. Mrs S invariably comments as we drive through, 'Jewish people never cause us a problem, just like the even more numerous Chinese, they just go about their business and get on with their lives', I tend to agree with her, which is always a good idea anyway.

When you need security guards to protect the congregation who wish to peacefully practice their religion, we are in trouble as a society sinkov.

What I fail to understand is why a political party built on the premise of law and order allows this $hit to happen? Perhaps they are more anti-Semitic than Comrade Corbyn never was?
