BBC Caught Lying Again...

...that's 1,501 lies and counting

Be honest:

Let’s imagine you are a journalist at the prestigious BBC. You are writing an article about Israel’s pager explosion attack on terrorists. Do you omit Hezbollah from the headline? Do you leave out the fact that this was aimed - with precision - at a terrorist organisation?

Without that detail, it might occur to the casual reader that those pesky Jews in Israel have been sneakily hacking the technology of random individuals on foreign soil. Perhaps the casual reader is not only unaware that Israel aimed its attack (a defence, really) with precision at terrorists but is now also staring at his phone and laptop, wondering if those evil Zionists have tapped into it.

For that reason, in addition to the simple pursuit of reporting the truth, I’d imagine you would include a reference to the terrorists in the article. With historical precedent in mind, you wouldn’t want to sow mistrust in the general population about the Jews.

That’s what the Nazis did.

But the BBC—the bastion of trust and integrity the world over—felt that such an omission was appropriate.

Why?

Don’t get me wrong, we can’t always fit the details in the headline. But this is a long one. 15 words. None of them mention terrorism or war.

It’s a pretty important detail.

The BBC article is about Israel’s response to Hezbollah, who are - lest we forget - a terrorist organisation that has been attacking Israel for a year (and many years before that). They attack innocent Israeli civilians so often that it is not even considered newsworthy. Did you even know that 60,000 Israelis have been forced from their homes due to Hezbollah? Since the Islamo-Woke alliance love to throw the word genocide around, I wonder…

In any case, Israel deals now with wars with the Triple H of Doom: the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas. Meanwhile, rifts with Iran and Iraq continue to escalate, and the Woke Left cheer on the most obvious “bad guys in a movie” imaginable.

Here’s my favourite aside in the article.

You see, the BBC weren’t able to interview the victims because of one unfortunate fact:

The victims are Shiite radical terrorists!

They force Sharia Law on Muslims. They believe their prophet can only return upon the destruction of Israel and that the Jews are blasphemers who must be wiped from the Earth. They actively encourage suicide bombers.

The aside about the security concerns reminds me of the recent Sky News report in which the voice-over painted the Islamist protestors as “defending themselves”. The piece had to suddenly go off air after the Islamists aggressively surrounded the female reporter.

I mentioned in a previous article that the BBC had already breached guidelines 1,500 times in its bias against Israel.

This isn’t going to stop.

Again - why?

The Power of Peer Pressure

Despite the stereotype about Jewish control of the media, the reality is that there are very few Jews in the UK able to influence the narrative. At 275,000 people, they make up about 0.3% of the population. Muslims stand at 4-5 million in the UK and growing much faster. It stands to reason that most journalists will know many Muslims but are less likely to have friends who are Jewish.

As the Muslim population grows, we are seeing this play out in the streets, with enormous protests for Palestine. Even people who would be thrown off of rooftops in Palestine support it through the likes of Queers for Palestine. This impacts policy, too, with politicians aware of a far greater voting share from Muslims. Hence, we see Left-Wing politicians coddling up to Imams and communities that would make Hitler’s eyes water.

That’s the power of peer pressure.

The Power of Woke

The woke separate everything into an oppressed vs. oppressor narrative. You get extra points, it seems, for finding a unique way to support a particularly evil regime. This is how students are taught to think—they value making a unique and compelling argument over truth.

It’s part of postmodernism.

I studied English Literature at university and remember feeling excited to find a novel angle (such as Shakespeare being gay) for old and established works. They taught me not to worry about whether my argument is true because they give extra credit for novel, twisted, convoluted thoughts.

If the bicycle is red, it is because it represents communism, anger, menstruation…anything, so long as it isn’t that the author had a red bike.

It’s an intoxicating feeling, but one that many of us shed after leaving university, when we come to value truth. However, those who progress into positions of power in media, law and politics are the most over-educated box-tickers on Earth.

Thus, they can tell us with a straight face that a big burly bloke called Roxy Tickle is a woman who should be allowed into the women-only app GIGGLE. Anyone with a brain can see that - even if we did apply their oppressed-oppressor narrative - the women are the victims here.

Similarly, it is pretty apparent that Islamism - with its 50 oil-rich countries, brutal dictatorships and Right-Wing religious fundamentalism, is not oppressed in this - or any - battle.

There are 2 billion Muslims in the world. They account for 25% of the world's population.

There are 14 million Jews. They account for 0.2% of the world's population.

This means there are 140 times more Muslims than Jews in the world. And the percentage of extremism in Islam is significantly higher and more dangerous than in Jews (most of whom are secular).

This is why, when I go for a walk, I see Palestinian flags attached to the bags of children, but my own family would never wear a Star of David necklace in public. You’d be a fool to advertise the Jewishness of your child.

None of this is to minimise the suffering of the Palestinian people. At the same time, I can’t see how Israel can do anything different. Even by Hamas terrorists’ statistics, Israel has a far lower civilian casualty rate than is seen in the vast majority of wars.

This time, they defended themselves with precision by placing small explosives in the pagers of terrorists. Even this has provoked cries of “war crime” on social media, and - as reported by the BBC - is seen as an attack on the Lebanese people.

I suppose its only choice, then, is to lie down and die.

My Viewers Did A Political Test (To Great Surprise!)

I filled out one of those political compass surveys to see where I fit on the right-left and authoritarian-libertarian continuums. It didn’t surprise me to find that I was slightly left of centre, and comfortably in the libertarian zone.

So much for all the accusations of far-right bigotry.

But what shocked me - and embarrassed me - was the response on X from my followers who took the test:
