"This is notably true in the Middle East,
where the Israeli state has successfully intimidated the BBC into presenting the
theft of Palestinian land and the caging, torturing and killing of its people as
an intractable "conflict" between equals. Standing in the rubble from an Israeli
attack, one BBC journalist went further and referred to "Gaza's strong culture
of martyrdom". So great is the distortion that young viewers of BBC news have
told Glasgow University researchers they are left with the impression that
Palestinians are the illegal colonisers of their own country. The current BBC
"coverage" of Gaza's genocidal misery reinforces this."
