Israel - BBC Pro-Palestinian Bias

Look at how the BBC downplay this Palestinian massacre.

First the headline:

Five die in Israel suicide blast

No, they didn't just die morons, they were murdered by Palestinian terrorists.

Next the story:

A Palestinian suicide bomber has killed five people and injured dozens in the Israeli coastal town of Netanya.

The bomber attacked the Sharon shopping centre, the scene of previous bombings, at about 1130 (0930 GMT), injuring some 40 people, several of them seriously.


He was a terrorist who murdered innocent people.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad group claimed responsibility for the attack and released a video of the bomber.


They're not just a "group". They are a terrorist organization.

Heightened tensions in recent days have been marked by Israeli air strikes and Palestinian militant rocket attacks.


Notice which one the BBC put first when in fact the Israeli air strikes have been in retaliation for Palestinian terrorist attacks.

The Islamic Jihad group named the bomber as Lutfi Amin Abu Salem, from a village between the West Bank towns of Jenin and Tulkarm.


Sheesh.

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas condemned the Netanya bombing as an act of "terrorism" and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice.


Which is exactly what it is but the BBC don't want to offend their Palestinian brothers.

And this takes the biscuit.

UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, speaking for the European Union, condemned the bombing as "cowardly" and urged the Palestinian Authority to do more to prevent such attacks in future.


Yeah, like that's gonna work.
