Guardian of British Distortion

Honest Reporting shows why, thanks to dog trainer newpaper, The Guardian, Britions hate Israel.

They start with a recent poll showing British feelings toward Israel.

A new, comprehensive poll of British opinion on foreign nations was just released by The Telegraph. The results: Israel is considered by Britons the #1 'least deserving of international respect,' the 'least beautiful country,' the country Britons would 'least like to take a holiday in,' and would 'least like to live in.'

How did this British animosity toward Israel come about, with Israel ranked worse than Egypt, India, China and 20 other countries?

Then they contrast the same incident between the IDF and Palestinians as reported by the Guardian and The New York Times.

Here is a gist of the comparison but be sure to read the whole thing.

First the Guardian.

The Guardian report 1) presents as established fact a 'mistaken killing' of innocent Palestinian children, 2) reverses the actual series of events ― IDF response named first, Palestinian mortars second, 3) describes the Israeli civilian target of the Palestinian mortar fire as an Israeli 'position' ― falsely implying a military target, and 4) calls the IDF response an 'attack,' while the Palestinian mortar fire (against civilians) receives no such derogatory description.

Now the NYT.

Note that the Times account acknowledges 1) who started the violence ― Palestinians targeting Israeli civilians, 2) the IDF claim that its tanks actually struck the mortar-firing terrorists, and 3) the all-important issue of terrorists firing mortars from the midst of Palestinian civilians, thereby endangering innocents' lives.

They sum it up this way.

Now we understand the results of the UK public opinion poll. Years of reports such as today's from the Guardian have left Britons with a highly distorted understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

HonestReporting asks: How much longer will an irresponsible UK media continue to deceive the British public by blaming Israel for all the region's woes?

And how much longer can they and the BBC continue to deceive the British public about America. It's time we put a stop to the outrageous acts of the media.

Be sure to read about Melanie Phillips article on the media's abuse of power, wherein she ends with this warning.

In the war that has been declared upon the free world, the western media’s abuse of power is perhaps the most lethal weapon of all.

There is no "perhaps" about it. For too long they have wielded the power of the pen. Like the dinasours, their time is passing.
