JERUSALEM NOT PART OF ISRAEL

>> Friday, February 17, 2012

Did you know that the BBC doesn't think that Jerusalem is in Israel? Check out this excellent post over on The Elder of Ziyon.

Think that the BBC are assuming that Jerusalem is in all our hearts and that we are all Jews in spirit...so to confine it to a geographical location only shows our willingness to limit and constrain the Judeo-Christian ideal!
Either that or the wondrous Daniel Corbett took their geography atlas!
Only wish they`d produce a map of where Irans nuclear sites are sited.
Always get the idea that Bowen, Plett, Guerin know only too well.

Not even West Jerusalem, internationally recognised as part of Israel even if there's some international dissention about the east of the city.

Of course, based on what it knows it's doing only too well,  it's how it acts that is the problem.

You have to wonder who makes these decisions. According to the BBC it maintains Middle East bureax in Amman Jordan, Cairo Egypt, Gaza Middle East, Jerusalem Israel and Tehran Iran. So they maintain three bureaux withing a two hour drive from each other! That rather explains the paucity of reporting from North Africa and the obsession with Gaza, doesn't it?

I checked a few other sites, and all the global weather sites will find either Israel and suggest Jerusalem, a few that seach on city find Jerusalem straight away.
However, the Met office seems to share the BBC's inability to report the weather in Jerusalem. Definitely bias!

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
