BBC antisemitism

We mustn't forget that grandmother of all institutionalised antisemites, the BBC. Virtually every news item that can be slanted against Israel, is slanted against Israel.

Just 2 examples out of thousands (incidentally, they also demonstrate that the BBC doesn't understand the difference between news reporting and editorial comment):

1. Lebanon 1982, a BBC reporter stands in front of bombed buildings in Tyre, and says:
"Once again, Israel has decided to cock a snook at world opinion".
This would be despicable as an editorial, but as so-called 'reporting'??? The hack knows what Israel has 'decided' to do? And moreover, that its decision involves naked aggression even though the peaceful world has tried to stop the war? And of course, that there's been no aggression by the Arabs that triggered this war?

2. On the BBC website 2006: Maale Adumim is described, supposedly factually, as an 'illegal' settlement. There is a tiny comment to the effect that Israel disputes this.
Note well: not 'Some people/governments/what-have-you claim that it is illegal' but 'it is illegal'. The BBC is now the arbiter on this fact, not an unbiased commentator - and of course, it is judge/jury/executioner (well, it would love to be, so great is its puffed-up self-importance) on this issue AGAINST Israel.
The fact that Maale Adumim is not illegal by any sane criteria is neither here nor there in this case: it's the BBC's constant bias that is important.
