They sell lots of sardines and lox in this country. If we started looking we would find some more. Their GDP isn’t that big, any boycott would hurt them and fast.

There is a fantastic blog which documents the relentless left wing bias of the BBC on a daily basis, much of it anti-Israel and antisemitic.

There is a new front to the war against Israel. It is an economic front. The new tactic is to get European governments, and Europeans to boycott Israeli products. Norway has just capitulated to this scheme and has authorized the labeling of any Israeli products with a special sticker. In all fairness, Norwegian products should be boycotted, their consulates and embassies notified why. Turn-about is fair play.

PLEASE BOYCOTT ALL NORWEGIAN PRODUCTS AND LET NORWAY KNOW WHY.

The BBC is run by the Guardian reading classes for an audience that reads the Daily Mail & the Daily Telegraph. We know that it is biased but are wary of throwing the baby out with the bath water. After all, most of us in the UK read a daily newspaper. We know that they all have their axes to grind and keep that in mind when we read them. The BBC is institutionally biased in favour of socialism. So, in the case of the USA, they will always favour the Democrats. They don’t like the USA because it shows you can do quite well without being socialist. They have a major problem because socialism doesn’t work. In the end, their bias is counter-productive, because people don’t believe anything they say and often just stop listening. Our current government is just the same – no one believes a word they say.

Carol,

The USA is ready to ignominiously throw the Jews of Israel under the bus too. Depressing.

Jeremy Bowen may not be an anti-Semite…

He is, though, and he’s not the only BBC “reporter” that is – think of Orla Goebbels (Guerin) or Barbara “weep for Arafat” Plett, fortunately now shipped off to Afghanistan and Africa.

The BBC is not monolithic, and there are some excellent documentaries, including “Six Days that Changed the World” on the six day war. But the place is infected with leftist antisemitism, these days more common that right-wing antisemitism. Jobs are advertised in the Guardian, which says it all.

I believe the BBC even produced a report which found news coverage to be biased against Israel, then conveniently suppressed it. A fight is on in the courts to get it released. If it tells only a small part of the truth, that will be a start.

I think it would be great if the Zionists took over the BBC, the Islamists have been running it for years.

Turnabout is fair play.

It’s not just the BBC that is virulently anti-semitic; all of Europe is so and has been so for centuries. Post WWII Europe did not “see the light” and become largely tolerant of Jews. Rather, they stopped being PUBLIC anti-semites and became CLOSET anti-semites. All the same biases, prejudices and insults are bandied around when groups who trust each other get together. Let the topic of Israel or Jews come up at a small dinner or cocktail party and if no one reacts, the flood gates will open and all manner of hateful vitriol will pour forth! This is true in Germany (of course), but also anywhere from Austria to Norway and including all of Britain. None are above the name, Anti-Semite.

Yes, this is painting with a broad brush. Yes, there are many individuals who are definitely NOT Anti-Semites and who ARE sympathetic to Israel. But that’s not new; there have always been those who stood against the tide. But the ugly truth is that there is little difference in modern Europe from pre-WWII Europe with regard to common attituedes regarding Jews.

The Muslim world is a diseased old man wasting his last days railing against his condition and blaming his neighbors for his failures. And right there at his heels, barking furiously in unison with him is Europe, his always-faithful, mangy and toothless mongrel.
