1. Ben Wedeman`s Biased
   CNN Documentaries

   Sunday, September 10th, 2006

   “No. For both Wedeman and the Palestinians share the same view. That the latter have the right to carry out terrorism against the Israelis. That`s only to be expected and human. “

   But Israelis, naturally, have no right to prevent, deter or respond. That, CNN viewers are taught, is inhuman.

   Hey, be sure to email me if you ever come across a pro-Israel CNN documentary from Wedeman, will you? I wouldn`t want to miss it.

2. Target Israel. CNN Strikes Again

   Sunday, September 10th, 2006

   There was this sad farmer at the fence pointing to his agricultural holding across the way. Before Israel had intruded its anti-terrorist barrier into his life it had only taken 5 minutes to get to his land. Now he was forced to a crossing point where he was checked and searched. So it took him all of 45 minutes to get to his land. CNN wanted the world to see what terrible people these cruel Israelis occupiers are.

3. Why I Won’t Talk To The BBC
   By Douglas Davis

   Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

   “In my judgment, the volume and intensity of this unchallenged diatribe has now transcended mere criticism of Israel. Hatred is in the air. Wittingly or not, I am convinced that the BBC has become the principal agent for reinfecting British society with the virus of anti-Semitism. And that is a game I am not willing to play . . . “

4. The BBC’s Hatred For Israel

   Monday, June 5th, 2006

   “Throughout the intifada, the BBC repeated ”“ with no corroborating evidence ”“ the worst Arab fabrications and calumnies. In its expositions of the background to the conflict, it always endorsed the Palestinian narrative, though it must be aware that it is historically false. “

   “BBC openly serves Arab Palestinian interests. This is its mindset. If this is disputed let the BBC hold its record up to the light of public scrutiny and be judged. In its Report let your Review Panel publish a list of every relevant Mid East documentary BBC produced over the last 10 years. Categorized by the Panel to be pro or anti Israel – or objective ”“ should you find any.”

   Solidarity With Palestinians

   Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

   “The Jerusalem Post reported today (24.05.2001) on a Hamas gathering to honor journalists “for the special role they have played through their cameras, pens and skills, as well as through their rare courage and daring by their joining the nation struggling fiercely against the enemy.”

7. The BBC’s Hatred for Israel
   By Daniel Doron

   Friday, December 2nd, 2005

   “A recent BBC film Israel’s Secret Weapons, devoted to exposing Israel as a prime international threat worse than Saddam Hussein, is a prime example of how the European media vilifies Israel. The film was made prior to the American invasion, as part of an effort to delegitimate American efforts by showing that US ally Israel is by far the greater offender, and if anyone should be bombed Israel should be first. “

8. Disputed or Occupied Territories –
   Who Knows Best?
   BBC or James Baker,
   Former Secretary Of State?

   Thursday, December 1st, 2005

   “Baker replied, “They´re clearly disputed territories. That´s what Resolutions 242 and 338 are all about. They are clearly disputed territories.”

   The British Mandate recognized the right of the Jewish people to ”˜close settlement` in the whole of the Mandated territory.” “The Jewish right of settlement in Palestine west of the Jordan river, that is, in Israel, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, was made unassailable.” Eugene Rostow Former Under Secretary of State 1966-69

11. “Can The BBC Operate
    Responsibly?”
    By David Seaman

    Tuesday, July 15th, 2003

    “Criticizing Israel’s policies is the BBC’s prerogative. However, an accumulation of grievances over a number of years leads us to believe that the BBC has crossed the line from valid criticism into vilification and demonization of the State of Israel, to such an extent as borders on delegitimization of the nation itself. A direct cause of incitement, such treatment reinforces acts of anti-Semitism and violence against Israelis and Jews worldwide.”

12. Jenin, The Massacre That Never Was.

    Sunday, June 2nd, 2002

    “Still in hot pursuit of the massacre that never was the BBC aired this “authoritative” scoop on April 18:

    “A British forensic expert who has gained access to the West Bank city of Jenin says evidence points to a massacre by Israeli forces. BBC must get their dig in. Here they say “gains” access, as if he had to do this illegally or dangerously. (In the next sentence however, we find that Israel had granted him access.) “Prof Derrick Pounder, who is part of an Amnesty International team granted access to Jenin, said he has seen bodies lying in the streets and received eyewitness accounts of civilian deaths. “The truth will come out” – Pounder”
