In reality, anti-Israel is not the same thing as pro-Muslim. What is bad for Israel is not necessarily good for Muslims. Maybe he means pro-Islamist. That would be closer to the truth. An example: when given a choice between recognizing the Magen David Adom and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society together, some Muslim states voted against recognition. In order to spite Israel, these states were happy to deny the Palestinians a symbol of the statehood that these countries claim to support and were willing to deny potential benefits to real, live Palestinians in need of medical care. While British journalists are not uniformly anti-Semitic, there is a discernable and long-running anti-Israel trend in certain major British news media. Even accounting for the prevalence of security and diplomacy stories in the middle east (as compared to Europe, Asia or the Americas, where there is a better balance), stories involving Israel even tangentially nearly always go out of their way to attack it. When was the last time you read/saw/heard a BBC story that actually took a positive slant toward Israel? What about Reuters? Guardian? (I'm not talking about negative stories about Arab countries or Palestinians or Jews in general - I mean actually positive toward Israel). What was the story about? How many really negative stories have appeared since that one? In my case, the last clearly positive Israel story I saw on the BBC web site was in June of 2006, whereas there have been many positively-spun stories since that time about truly awful murderous regimes. What's most appalling is how blatant the bias has become - that now, rather than viewing bias with concern, a journalists' union actually views it as union policy! -Zvi
