I watched BBC 10 o'clock news last night and I was OUTRAGED by the blatant bias and double standards. I've been listening to the deafening silence from the BBC on the reality of the suffering caused by the collective punishment of 1.5 million Muslims in Gaza - thanks to this Action Alert I've now sent in a complaint via the BBC website. I'm sure if enough of you bother to complain they'll take it seriously. Thanks MPACUK for kicking me into action on this!

I just googled 'civilian killed Gaza January 2008 BBC' and the only reference I found was: "Clashes... near the Israel-Gaza border, with dozens of militants, and some civilians, killed in recent months."

Oh well, just some Palestinian civilians killed, no need to clear the headline news for them - 3 words in 1 article will do. We can't allow the BBC to treat Muslim lives like this. Is there not a hadith that says that these are more precious than the Kaba itself?

MPAC

I cannot thank you enough for being the only Muslim organisation naking a stand on this issue.

What we have all got to realise that the BBC has been infiltrated by Israelis. It wouldn't surprise me if people with dual Israeli/British nationalities actually work for the BBC.

Thus in the guise of the 'British' Broadcasting Corporation, they carry out their Tel Aviv masters' bidding.

How many Palestinians work for the BBC? Exactly.

Zionism is a virus that has so infested the British establishment that it will take years for it to be eradicated. Fortunately, now that British Muslims are getting more articulate and media-savvy (thanks to people such as MPAC), the Zionists' days in the limelight and their grip on the levers of influence, are numbered.

Then will the world have Shalom!

The BBC has given ample and critical coverage to the siege inflicted by Israel to the population of Gaza.

In this case, the death of one israeli made substantial news because this was the first suicide bomb attack in a year.
I hope that this brief explanation might help to dispel your persecution complex.

Let me add that from what I hear in muslim forums, rather than being outraged by the BBC double standard we should talk about the muslim double standards. For you obviouly the lives of a Palestinian is much more worthed than the life of a sudanese muslim or an iranian woman about to be stoned. Because I have never heard your outraged voice complaining about these muslim that must be certainly worthless.

And finally talking about different worth, let me remimd you that in your religion the word of a woman is worth half the word of a man. This sick idea was repeteadly confirmed by Ibrahim Mogra on BBC Beyond Belief programme in december.

I saw the headline news on bbc 6 o`clock news and i got so angry that i fired off email to complain about it there and then !! i am still waiting for the reply..I urge everyone to do so.. Well done to Mpacuk for bringing this to people`s attention.

I googled "civilian killed gaza BBC" and got 518,000 hits. Are you using some Google I'm not using?

This is nothing new and nothing will change until the government decides to do something about it.

funny how the BBC is getting investigated for anti-israeli bias..as i have said before hamas has got to take some responsibility for the suffering..the BBC is not biased against pals,,there are other news channels so just suck it up

I am completely disgusted at the BBC's biased reporting! Thanks MPACUK for highlighting this. I have sent my complaint and I hope other people reading this will also do so. The BBC is sure to take notice of this if enough people were to bombard them with complaints.

ABSOLUTELY MADE MY BLOOD BOIL!
But then like a typical muslim i didn't think i could do anything about it or exactly what. Remebered MPAC are usual pro-active like this and came on to the site to be pleasantly pleased!

Jzk ... have called them up with the help of your alert.

Well done guys.

You guys!

You just can't help letting the cat out of the bag, can you. Well as long as there's a delete key.

In keeping with this, I see you've hidden that virulently antisemitic, pro-terrorism video that you had at mpacuk.org/content/view/4361.

Oops - it's still on Google's cache.

Darn it - now you have to issue one of your "cut out and keep" apologies to offended Jews. I'm sure you've got a couple on file - remember the time you depicted Jews as having horns? Or that tasteless "pound of flesh comment" you er..accidentally ran.

Just fish one of those apologies out and adapt it. Say that you didn't realise the youtube video you linked to showed some Jews with a caption reading "pigs and apes". At the same time, say that you thought it was all about "peaceful inner struggle" Jihad (despite the touching tributes to terrorists).

Awaiting your next hit-and-run antisemitism article.

Im utterly shocked at the bias and hate coming from THIS website - possibly i should contact the Police as i consider this site a Hate site.

I have seen a huge amount on the BBC about the so called siege of Gaza of late. The website also has recently been displaying a great deal of material about the conditions in Gaza etc.

Thus it occurs to me that your complaint about fair and balanced reporting is extremely wide of the mark.

It is odd that your website rarely if ever contains material about terror within the muslim / Arab world. I don't recall seeing anything suggesting shock or outrage at the recent double suicide bombing in Baghdad in which scores of people were murdered by two Downs' Syndrom bombers. Why don't you condemn that?

MPAC and the BBC give much more coverage to the death of a Palestinian launching a missile into Israel than the deaths of a thousand unarmed Darfuri Muslims. Is an Arab life worth more than a Black life?

YOU ASK - Is a Jewish life worth more than a Muslim life..?

In Jewish law the answer is a very definite NO as taught by the rabbis and has been so for millenia. All life is sacred, whether Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddist, agnostic etc etc. There is absolutaely no one life more sacred than another of whatever belief. This is unlike Islam which encourages its followers to destroy any who either do not believe in the creed or will not submit (islam).

How interesting!

I wonder if the pro-Israeli posters above work for the BBC?

All sane human beings should condemn the evil activities of the Waffen-IDF!

And the BBC must start describing the Waffen-IDF as a'terrorist' organisation.

When the BBC next does a 'Children In Need' hoohah lets make damn sure they don't forget the Palestinian Children and what the beastly behavious of Tel Aviv is doing to them.

Anjum

what kind of sick planet do you live on?

You are a typical example of the paranoia that exists on this website.

There is no zionist conspiracy - if there was it would be so sophisticated that you wouldnt even know about it.

I suggest you research Darfur properly, when you do you'll realise the myth that is Arab v Black.

"...all parties involved in the Darfur conflict - whether they are referred to as 'Arab' or as 'African' - are equally indigenous and equally black...From the cultural point of view, one can be both African and Arab...The implication that these are two different races, one indigenous and the other not, is dangerous."

Mahmood Mamdani, Herbert Lehman Professor of Government and Director of the Institute of African Studies at the University of Columbia, New York.

"Characterising the Darfur war as 'Arabs' versus 'Africans' obscures the reality. Darfur's Arabs are black, indigenous, African and Muslim - just like Darfur's non-Arabs."

Alex de Waal, director of Justice Africa (London) and author of "Famine that Kills: Darfur, Sudan, 1984-5," published by Oxford University Press.

I can provide more if you want.

Next time, before you type, just try to use a little initiative and do a teensy bit of research rather than relying on what you've been drip fed by the mainstream media.

You might shock yourself and actually learn something

According to BBC ethics 1 Dead Israeli = Escalation of violence. 72 Dead Palestinians = 0.

The truth is that journalist are no longer true principled journalists. Instead many unfortunately think that they are playing to an audience that holds the same bias and values as themselves.

For example how many sport commentators are truly unbiased, especially when England are playing. Equally so how many journalists believe they are playing to an all white audience.

Much has been made of muslims being brainwashed but if trying to turn fiction into fact as some journalists try to do, and that on national television, isn't brainwashing then what is.

I think the fact that pro-Israeli commenters are so upset by this Action Alert just proves how effective this type of campaigning can be.

Sorry but Muslims pay the licence-fee just like everybody else and we're not going to see this kind of anti-Muslim bias and "just suck it up" as you suggest.

Brothers and sisters - get emailing and calling the BBC now!

I think we can judge from this very website, how Zionists are ACTIVE for their cause. And Muslims even on their OWN WEBSITE are sleeping.

I feel sorry for the Palestinians, Im not surprised they are siffering when Muslims are so pathetic at defending their own brothers and sisters.

I for one however have emailed and called the BBC to show my utter disgust at their racist policy of highlighting Jewish life over the Muslim one. Disgusting!

Won't Hamas be disappointed if its suicide bombings don't get much media coverage?

Zubair - I was commenting on the lives lost on Dharfur and asking why the life of an Arab (Palestinian) combatant is worth more than the lives of a thousand (Black) Darfuris.

I was not commenting on the ethnicity of the perpetrators in Darfur.

Your comment is fairly typical of those I read on this site - 'Darfur is complicated, so if hundreds of thousands have been slaughtered and millions made homeless you can hardly expect us to be concerned.'

Some Muslims clearly regard their *own* lives as worthless, since they are prepared to end them in acts of murder.
Don't bother contacting the BBC, they're under the PC/Muslim thunb already.

..for the record i couldnt care less about israel,,and as for zionism i dont agree with it,i just hate the double standards of muslims,,all religion is bogus,,so drop the superiority complex with which muslims are renowned 4..

The fact that there is no electricty, less water, food for the majority (palestinians) because of blockades from Israel goes to show that there is a lot of oppression, there should be no zionist/islamist conspiracy and we should help the people in need, so obviously PALESTINIAN.

Dave,
Despite the wonders of propoganda the loss of power was limited to Gaza City and represented only that which is generated locally. Israel and Egypt continued to supply the 80% of Gaza's needs as usual. Water flowed except in Gaza City due to the loss of locally produced electricity.
Interesting to note that Egypt now repiorts that approximately $1millions worth of counterfeit currency was used by Palestinians to buy goods from the little shops in Rafah after the break-out. Not a very nice way to treat your friends and neighbours.

**** off you muslim scum! al-taqqyi the lot of you should be thrown into the sea! you bunch of waffen SS.
