Path of righteous hatred

sue at Is the BBC biased? - 13 hours ago

(H/T BBC Watch) “The Left and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: The path to righteous hatred” by Jamie Palmer It’s quite densely written, but well worth the effort if, like me, you’re concerned about the BBC’s Bias against Israel. You might need to be familiar with the past 300 years’ history to properly appreciate the references. Oh, and if you’re familiar with the BBC’s selective reporting, that too, would help. “Israelis are subject to a disinformation campaign of incomparable viciousness, some of which is antisemitic.” That alone leaps o... more »
