The UN, of course, is renowned for being a relentless enemy of Israel. So thelatest report castigating Israel for committing "war crimes" when all it did was try to clean out the Hamas sewer that is Gaza comes as no surprise. BBC relish at this report has been obvious all day. The chance to morally equivocate between Israel and Hamas is one they cannot resist! I think there are some in the BBC, and the UN, who get a perverted kick out of accusing the very people who have been at the receiving end of the nost grotesque war crimes of committing the same even in truth when all they are trying to do is protect lives of innocents from the genocidal ambitions of Hamas. It is said that the UN investigation was set up on the premise Israel was guilty.Melanie Phillips calls it a show trial. Mark Regev says it was a kangaroo court. Members of the commission had already publicly declared their positions before the event. The record of Human Rights Watch and their employee Nazi memorabilia collector Marc Garlasco illustrate the dangers of treating such organisations and figures as infallible or beyond reproach, which the BBC tends to do. Both BBC articles mention that criticisms of Hamas were also made, but the captions and images lead the reader to conclude that the war crimes were all Israel’s. Judge Goldstone requires the Israelis and the Palestinian Authority to set up more investigations, but on Channel 4 news he has just accused Israel of bias in theirs. So if neither side can rely on the impartiality of the other, where does that leave us?

“HonestReporting will be releasing responses to the Goldstone Report within the next 24 hours. Stay tuned and be prepared to react to what will undoubtedly be a major story in your media.”
We are unlikely to hear much in Israel’s defence from the BBC, of that we can be sure.
