ABBAS MEETS HIS WATERLOO...

>> Thursday, November 05, 2009

The BBC has a touching eulogy to "man of peace" and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas here. No mention of this holocaust denier's support for genocidal terrorism against Israel, of course. The sanitisation of Abbas is, of course, not just restricted to the BBC, but it needs to be exposed wherever it is found and, of course, the BBC has a duty to provide a balanced portrait of this godfather of Palestinian terrorism. Naturally, it won't just as it constantly drooled over Arafat.

It's not a eulogy and it never calls him a man of peace. Did you leave your specs behind in Las Vegas?

Any holocaust denier who believes in committing Genocide against the Jews is a hero to the institutionally  anti-semitic  BBC.

Grant,

Exactly. That the BBC avoids dealing with Abbas's profound anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial is simply a plus.

David,

As with Arafat, Hamas, Ahmadinejad....... etc.

The only anti-semitic , holocaust deniers the BBC don't like are ones they can classify as "right-wing christian  ".

Oh, what it must be like to dwell in the bigoted, twisted little mind of a Beeboid !

<span style="">It may not be literally eulogistic, but al-Beeb does attempt to present ol' Arafat 2.0 as some kind of elder statesman, here as elsewhere.

BBC maths for beginners

Holocaust denial + Nick Griffin = bad
Holocaust denial + muslim psychopath = good

At least there aren't any rockets coming out of Abbas's patch.  That's a step up from the rest of them.

I'm taking bets. How soon before Abbas recognises the demand of the Palestinian people that he rescind his promise and remain 'leader'?

Mailman 11:32 PM, November 06, 2009  

Or whether he even stays in the west bank after he "retires"?

Some UN position, perhaps?

Nobel Peace Prize ?  Or has he already got that ?

i think you have put brown in the wrong list FLO.

Antony Jay

"But we were not just anti-Macmillan; we were anti-industry, anti-capitalism, anti-advertising, anti-selling, anti-profit, anti-patriotism, anti-monarchy, anti-Empire, anti-police, anti-armed forces, anti-bomb, anti-authority. Almost anything that made the world a freer, safer and more prosperous place, you name it, we were anti it."
Antony Jay, Telegraph, July 2007

Andrew Marr

"..the final answer, frankly, is the vigorous use of state power to coerce and repress. It may be my Presbyterian background, but I firmly believe that repression can be a great, civilising instrument for good. Stamp hard on certain 'natural' beliefs for long enough and you can almost kill them off."
Andrew Marr, The Guardian Feb. 1999

Jeremy Paxman

"But the bigger question is whether the BBC itself has a future. Working for it has always been a bit like living in Stalin’s Russia, with one five-year-plan, one resoundingly empty slogan after another. One BBC, Making it Happen, Creative Futures, they all blur into one great vacuous blur. I can’t even recall what the current one is. Rather like Stalin’s Russia, they express a belief that the system will go on forever."
Jeremy Paxman, The James McTaggart Memorial, 24th August 2007
