Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

BBC refuses to allow Israeli minister to show victims of synagogue jihad attack — had no problem showing Gaza victims

Nov 18, 2014 9:04 am By Robert Spencer

The mainstream media cannot be trusted. It is clearly aligned with malevolent forces. Unfortunately, it still wields disproportionate power and influence.

“BBC to Bennett: We don’t want to see victims of terrorism,” BBC, November 18, 2014:

Interviewer refuses to allow economy minister to show photograph of victims of the terrorist attack at Jerusalem synagogue.

A BBC interviewer refused to allow Economy Minister Naftali Bennett to show a photograph of victims of the terrorist attack in Jerusalem in an interview Tuesday morning.

Bennett appeared on BBC World News after a Palestinian spokesman, who claimed that Jews were murdering Palestinians in Jerusalem.

The Bayit Yehudi leader responded: “The fact is that [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas] himself incites and tells the Arabs ‘take arms and fight the Jews.'”

Bennett’s comments echoed earlier remarks calling Abbas one of the biggest terrorists of the Palestinian people and blaming him for the bloodshed.

Then, Bennett lifted a photo of the scene of the terrorist attack, depicting a man in a tallit lying face down on the floor of a synagogue.

“You know, this individual came this morning to pray,” Bennett said, pointing at the man in the picture.

“We don’t want to actually see that picture, if you could take that down,” the interviewer shot back.

Bennett continued: “This individual came this morning to pray, just like many Muslims and many Jews went to pray this morning. The Muslims went home safe [sic], but four Jews will never come home again.”

The clip soon made waves on social media, after Bennett shared it.

British journalist Jake Wallis Simons, who has covered Israel extensively for The Telegraph, among other major news sources tweeted: “BBC refuses to show picture of murdered Jewish worshiper. Didn’t have a problem with dead Gazans, I recall.”

    BBC (via NPR) just last night
    [Nothing to do with Islam]

    Global Terrorism Index Report on Terrorism by Institute for Economics and Peace

    •82% of all deaths from terrorist attack occur in just 5 countries:
    (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria and Syria).

    •Last year terrorism was dominated by four groups:
    the (Taliban, Boko Haram, ISIL, and al Qa’ida).

    In 2013, 66% of all fatalities from claimed terrorist attacks were caused by four terrorist groups: the Taliban, Boko Haram , ISIL and al-Qa’ida.
    The primary targets of terrorist attacks are citizens and private property.

    The three main factors associated with terrorism ???????? (something missing here?)
    1 state sponsored violence such as extra-judicial killings
    2 group grievances
    3 high levels of criminality

      JB, they certainly did miss something in the cause of terrorism. The claim of economics is wearing thin. Fox is covering the attack now and mentioned the possibilty of hamas being involved.

    And this, from Muslim, unelected, ex-U.K Government Minister, Baroness WARSI-

    “TORY PEER CAUSES OUTRAGE BY COMPARING PROTEST TO MURDER IN JERUSALEM”

    http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/11/18/Warsi-Jerusalem-Comments-Compares-To-Non-Violent

    • Neil Jennison says

      Nov 18, 2014 at 9:45 am

      Warsi is a total disgrace. She was appointed Tory Party chairman a while ago in awful piece of gesture politics by Cameron…….just because she is a Muslim. She had previously failed to win an election to parliament and so was made a Baroness.

      Her time as chairman was characterised by serial mistakes and incompetence.

    I have put in a complaint re bias to the BBC.I suggest everyone complains about this and complains every time the BBC is guilty of bias.

    • Alex says

      Nov 18, 2014 at 10:56 am

      Good luck with that. You’re facing the powerful left-leaning media here (sorry for stating the obvious). Your opinion doesn’t count unless it agrees with theirs.

      • Neil Jennison says

        Nov 18, 2014 at 12:17 pm

        Alas true. I would point out that complaining about BBC l left wing bias would be a full time job. Some of us have lives to lead.

    Then there is the BBC {and the rest of the UK’s print and broadcast MSM} continuing insistence that muslim paedophiles and rapists are asian much to the annoyance of everyone else non-muslim from asia

    BBC’s political default position is one of empathy with Hamas and Fatah.

    The Guardian and BBC are not news outlets.. they are nothing more than a bunch leftist islamofacists cowards! The British should be ashamed of themselves.

        Well — at least pagans, wiccans, fabians and whatnots don’t appear to throw their beliefs in my face and proselytize me into numbness… Just saying …

    The appeasement of Muslim rape, terrorism and homophobic misogyny in the UK passed being beyond a joke decades ago. My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones today as a result of Islamic violence all over the World but especially in Jerusalem today. Muslim sicko’s will be celebrating the murders tonight.

    Screw the BBC. Read A Consequence of Apathy by NR Baldwin. The truth is out there.

    The BBC are anti-Semitic cultural Marxists. They tenaciously hold their narrative that certain groups are official ‘victims’ (the Pallies) and other groups are official ‘perpetrators (the Jews).

    Jews cannot by their definition be portrayed as ‘victims’ since that would contradict the Marxist narrative. Whenever Jews are victimized by an ‘official victim’ committing an atrocity, the Jewish victims are ignored and the ‘official victims’ are depicted as committing an understandable retribution… even though they are committing crimes against humanity.

    The anti-Semitism of the BBC is showing.

    • Bezelel says

      Nov 18, 2014 at 12:16 pm

      Agreed that they are anti Semite but I can’t see what they hope to gain from it, since the muslimes have no gratitude or mercy for the useful idiots.

        The agenda was put forward almost a hundred years ago. Have a read and see what the cultural Marxists at the BBC really want;

    “The mainstream media cannot be trusted. It is clearly aligned with malevolent forces. Unfortunately, it still wields disproportionate power and influence.”

    That’s because *we* don’t have the balls to stop their power.
    We, the free peoples of the West, must act. Our inaction is defeat and complicity.
    I call for a massive media strike.
    We don’t need their lies, we have the internet where we can freely choose our own trusted sources of information.
    Their power is the direct result of our hard-earned money. Period.

    Sad to say we have two enemies – Mohammed and Marx. What a shame they weren’t strangled at birth!
