The New York Sun's Daniel Freedman, noting that "BBC reports need often to be taken with a block of salt," says that even if true, he doesn't "see what the big deal is. The Kurds have been victimized and betrayed by almost everyone. We'd be happy that Israel is teaching them how to protect themselves."
Here's the big deal: The BBC is announcing that its reporting "is set to cause serious problems for the Kurds," will deal "a serious blow to efforts for national reconciliation" in Iraq, and "will be like the smoking gun the Arab media has spent years looking for."
It certainly sounds to us as though the BBC, far from merely reporting the facts, is pandering to Arab anti-Semitism and making an active effort to promote discord in Iraq and retribution against the long-persecuted Kurds. Such despicable behavior doesn't deserve the label "journalism."
Glad the WSJ is finally noticing what I've been saying for nearly 3 years now.
