BBC PRO-ISRAEL?

One of the stories in the past few days which made me blink was the assertion from the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) that a BBC "Panorama" programme was to be broadcast in a week or so is too "pro-Israel."  Now, anybody who knows anything at all about the BBC would realise just how absurd this proposition is - but it seems to have caused "handbags at dawn" between the multiculturalist-worshipping BBC and the Jihad-understanding MCB.

Rottweiler Puppy covers the issue very well here - and guess what, after a bit of a Mexican stand-off - the BBC looks like it has blinked first. In true Dhimmi-fashion, the Panorama programme will be re-edited to accommodate the MCB's sensitivities. Allah's well that end's well. Isn't it?

And Kirk Douglas claims that his career was a victim to Hollywood anti-Semitism.

The article is very very good. I am passing it on to give it more exposure...

Ah yes, Rotpup - the man who gloated and celebrated the death of Britain's most notorious Brazilian 'criminal' the increasingly revealing truth of which should shame the many people here who blamed him , when it looks as if virtually everything in the original information was utterly wrong.

Colm:
The leaked documents bear out our suspicions right from the start that there was much more to this than seemed at first - now it seems that the information *released* in the immediate aftermath of the shooting - was almost completely untrue.

I have a "strange" set of beliefs (as some of you will already have guessed!) One of those beliefs is that our own world is not terribly far removed from the world into which we pass on death. I believe that we should never speak ill of the dead as we may face them in time to come and make reparation for how we treated them.

On a more secular level, to attack a person's character after death - when they cannot respond - places an onus on others to defend them and is certainly not something which anyone should enter into lightly, especially when based on no evidence - but rather on their own highly coloured and in this instance totally unfounded belief.

Its summed up in that hackneyed phrase -"what goes around, comes around" and I have seem much evidence in my own life that thinking or acting with ill-will rebounds in a very tangible way.
