UK - BBC backing terrorists

again.

In this puff piece on Hezbollah, not once does the BBC use the word "terrorist". This dispite the fact that Hezbollah has been designated a terrorist organization by the "... United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada, Israel and Australia". Further, "On March 10, 2005 the European Parliament voted overwhelmingly (473 in favor, 8 against, 33 abstain) on a resolution branding Hezbollah in whole as a terrorist organization." And "The EU has also decided to block Hezbollah's Al-Manar television from European satellites..."

What label does the BBC put on Hezbollah?

But pressure on Syria to withdraw its 14,000 troops deployed in Lebanon presented Hezbollah with a serious challenge: how long it could it remain a guerrilla movement without endangering its growing role as a mainstream, albeit religious-based, political party?

The BBC also wants you to believe Hezbollah has widespread support in Lebbanon.

In March, after weeks of unprecedented anti-Syrian demonstrations in Beirut, Hezbollah proved it, too, had people power on its side. Hundreds of thousands of its followers poured on to the streets of the capital in support of Lebanon's historic and strategic relationship with Syria.

What the BBC doesn't tell you is that tens of thousands were bused in from Syria and the Syrians had not left Lebanon at this time. A later demonstration produced hundreds of thousands of protesters against Syria and Hezbollah.

Hezbollah remains a potent force through terror with the backing of Syria and Iran.
