Another biased headline from the BBC

While we still mourn the murder of the Henkins, and grieve for their family, there has been another horrific attack on Israeli citizens.  Today  Nehemia Lavi, 41, and Aharon Benet, 22 were murdered in a terror attack in Jerusalem’s Old City.

Benet’s wife was in serious condition and their two-year-old baby was lightly wounded.

This is how the  incident was reported by the BBC.

There were complaints.  So the BBC tried again.

And finally a third time

Thanks to those of you out there who attempt to keep the mainstream media honest

Journalistic Malpractice from Lyse Doucet of the BBC

The BBC's anti-Israel bias is well documented- with an entire blog devoted to fact-checking the network for "accuracy and impartiality" . 

BBC Watch has already pointed out the slant on Lyse Doucet’s promotion of her BBC Two ‘Children of the Gaza War’ programme

Of the 1,086 words making up that article, two hundred and thirty-six can be categorized as background information. The Israeli children’s side of the story is told in two hundred and sixty words and five hundred and ninety words are devoted to the stories of Palestinian children. One can only hope that the upcoming programme itself will show better balance.

Yet what the  Jewish Chronicle Online has discovered is tantamount to journalistic malpractice, and deliberately obscures and provides covers for anti-Semitism in Gaza.

A BBC documentary has substituted the word "Israelis" for "Jews" in its translation of interviews with Palestinians, its maker has admitted.

Lyse Doucet has stood by the decision to translate "yahud" as "Israeli" in subtitles on her hour-long documentary Children of the Gaza War, which airs on BBC Two tonight.

The correct translation for "yahud" from Arabic to English is "Jew".

The BBC's chief international correspondent said that Gazan translators had advised her that Palestinian children interviewed on the programme who refer to "the Jews" actually meant Israelis.

In one instance, a Gazan child says the "yahud" are massacring Palestinians. However the subtitles read: "Israel is massacring us".
