Question:
Is Anti-Semitism not the main reason for scathing attacks on Israel by the British media?

I mean Muslims are wreaking in Britain. They are the single most dangerous threat to the British state, the enemy within, and the British Media keeping picking on Jews?

Is that all Jews think about anti semitism - Is that the first word out of your mouths when you are born? No one is allowed to ever criticise Jews ever and you know that. Jews own the media and there are rarely anti Jew articles so stop trying to attract more sympathy towards these people!

Why the marvel, that's properly favourite that the British are fairly anti-zionist (i.e. thinly veiled anti-semitism). The nationwide Union of newshounds grew to become into between the 1st British Unions to lower back a boycott of Israel at that's nationwide convention (the AUT grew to become into earlier even if it straight away merged with yet another union after the Union's member deliver overturned the alternative). How can a Journalist's union boycott a usa and nonetheless declare to be honest and independent? even if, the Union has to overturn the alternative while the best 3 information broadcasters in the united kingdom (BBC, ITN and Sky) all held their own votes and voted to overturn it, The parent grew to become into the main vociferous newspaper against the alternative (staggering, I did a rapid seek for a years articles stating Israel on their internet site and got here up with over a million,000 hits for a 12 months- i.e 365 days minus Sundays and yuletide Day). British anti-semitism isn't overt, even if, "anti-Israel" is appropriate. i'm no longer asserting that anti-Israeli is often anti-semitism yet singling out Israel while in comparison with the different usa in the middle East is anti-semitic. EDIT: An addition, on each and every occasion the BBC interviews Israelis they continually attempt to choose for people who the two barley talk English or have an incredibly heavy accessory and that they by no skill interview moderates only people who've extreme perspectives. They loathed Netanyahu while he grew to become into PM by using fact he speaks fluent English with an American accessory. Palestinians that are interviewed are often average and talk good English with very average accents.

No,of course it isn't.

British Muslims are a small minority and the overwhelming majority are as law-abiding as any other group.

Muslims are not "wreaking havoc in Britain".

This assertion is fantasy put about by Islamophobes who haven't done their research and are for the most part unfamiliar with the UK,which is why they exaggerate the level of Islamist terrorism to such an absurd degree.

The criticism is not about "picking on Jews" - a lazy smear intended to silence criticism of Israel.

It is about state-sponsored murder and abuse of European passports - and breach of a previous assurance by Israel that they wouldn't do it again.

The British are quite keen on the rule of law - and they don't like hypocrites.

It's you and people like you who are 'dangerous' to humanity and liberal thinking.



You have a sheer Islamophobia, and you can't just see that Israel did commit a crime by assassinating Al Mabhouh in Dubai. Dubai police say they have proofs Mosad is the culprit, and so everyone with a brain in their head can see the Zionist stamp on the crime.



Palestinians and Hamas are humans, just like you and I.



If there was nothing serious, why do you think Britain, the foster mother of Israel, summoned the Israeli ambassador?



Do you think that the Guardian is owned by 'terrorists', just because it does not reproduce Zionist versions of news?

Your paranoia is showing.



This is an important story if only because, as the article says, Hamas may now choose to extend its operations against Israel outside of that state. It is an escalation of an already serious situation, a direct provocation after a long period of relative calm.



We may never know, but my own thought is that the reason it was apparently so badly handled and so easily connected to Mossad is that Israel is hoping that it will provoke reaction and thus "justify" another "Cast Lead" or similar slaughter in either Gaza, the West Bank or even Lebanon - or perhaps all 3 together.



The story also talks extensively about "assassinations" carried out by British and American troops. Is that also "antisemitism"? It seems more like balance to me.

I agree with 100%, the British Media should stop focusing so intently on Jews and Gypsies, and start looking at Islam.

The violence and atrocities carried out in the name of the Murderous Prophet Muhammad (shame be upon him) is wreaking havoc in Britain.

Meanwhile, a Jew defends the homeland of Israel from vicious attacks or a Gypsy family buys a piece of land the media have a field day.

As an answer to your question, Antisemitism IS and Always was the main reason, just as the media also deliciously engage in and print stories of antiziganism against Gypsies, meanwhile, a some deranged Muslim is making a device to blow the crap out of some innocent soul.

Why? Because Muslims want us ALL to submit to the Quran.

Yeah, I'll submit it.

Right down the toilet.

Who said the Jews are Semites?

The Arabs (Christians an Muslims) are more Semites than mixed race Israelis.



Anyway, under what law, moral or authority the Semites are superior than non Semites?



Most importantly, the issue is, “Israelis and their supporters have used friendly countries passports to commit crimes and they have committed similar crimes before.



So let’s stick to the issue and stop re-ignite anti-Muslim prejudice and bigotry to hide Zionist crime spree.

The British media in general support Israel, and there are few attacks on it, scathing or otherwise. As for the reason for what attacks there are, perhaps the mass murder of Palestinian civilians might be one factor.



And what does 'wreaking' mean?
2010-02-19 08:23:35 UTC
It is. British media hates Israel because a deep-seated antipathy towards the Jewish people whom they have been attacking since 1940s. It's a pity because some of their best columnists are Jewish, but most of their columns get closed down due to pressure from owners.

Hi there.

It is not anti-semitic as such, it is kissing up to the muslims by the establishment.

So desperate to be politically correct, they bend over backwards at all points to placate them

and the negative approach to Israle is part of it. Sad but true.

Cheers, Steve.

PS The sad thing is, it won't work - they will take the kissing up and just demand more.

All pressure groups do this, they see conciliation as weakness.

Yes. Anti-Israel reporting is the most common form of modern anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is the only accepted form of racism. Anti-Semitic attacks are rising every year and are higher than they were in the 1930s. The Guardian is a left wing newspaper. Anti-Semitism is associated with the left-wing.

The British media have proven time and time again what treacherous cowards they are and what better way to brainwash the mass sheeple… The world knows who the enemy is but are prepared to sell their souls to join the hatred mob; whose only intention is to wipe Israel off the map… Sadly it is going to get far worse and WW3 is not so far away…

Can you imagine the uproar if instead this murder had been carried out by a muslim organisation But when Israel do it just a few cautious words in the Guardian hardly a mention in the Zionist owned press.

The plain fact this was an illegal act carried out by Israels own backed security and FULLY approved by its government .To add to this crime they even used the passports and identities of British, French,Irish and German innocent passport holders all living in Israel Does anyone find it just a little suspicious that no American passports were used. I wonder why ? Oh yes we must not upset our only real ally although Mossad have been caught spying on the US in the past Israels government have a lot of questions to answer over this latest sordid affair.

Facts are still facts whether Jews are involved or not. Do you seriously expect the press to always turn a blind eye to murder and genocide if it is carried out by the Israeli state?

Easy target and if they put themselves in the shoes of a Jew how then would they like to be picked on? they wouldn't - mind you the Jewish people are used to it. That's why they have their own State!

The british jews are the enemy within, how many jews do you know that mix in with the rest of the british community? Jews are only committed to the illegal state of Israel and demolishing palestinain homes for their own evil purposes.
