BAD JEWS..
It’s a recurring BBC theme – the alleged cruelty of the IDF. I was reading this nonsense on the BBC today.
The Israeli army has been accused of illegally detaining a five-year-old Palestinian boy for throwing stones in the West Bank town of Hebron. Israeli human rights group B’Tselem said the child should not have been detained because the age of criminal responsibility in Israel was 12. Video showed the boy taken into an army jeep accompanied by a Palestinian man.
It’s only when you get past this diatribe that you read the IDF explanation that this young boy was not arrested, he was not detained, he was simply returned to his parents. So this is a non story but the BBC gratefully take up the theme since it helps blacken the reputation of the IDF.
The BBC loves B”Teselem as they provide a stream of anti-Israel stories that the State Broadcaster can they take and utilise. B”Tselem is always presented as an impartial human rights group. The BBC chooses not to question the motivations of this group but you might want to have a look at this ..by way of balance.

Any from the home team, quite another.

If at all. At best. Or a Newsnight BIJ job.
It’s that balance thing.
However, this story being from a certain region and about the BBC rather than by it, we might expect ‘Sorrowful of Tunbridge Wells’ to soon appear and sadly advise that their years-long loyalty is at an end and they are having to call whoever it is that gets sites closed for hosting views other than theirs.
Probably a a bit of redacting afoot too, one shouldn’t wonder.

Not, currently, ‘obvious’ as such, really.
‘It is now Egypt who is blockading Gaza more than Israel ever has, causing major pain and disruption to trade, construction, fuel and power supplies and travel, but I guess we won’t hear that from the Israel-delegitimisers.
It’s a mystery.
According to Arab reports picked up by YNet, Egyptian forces in the Sinai killed and arrested some 200 Islamists, including quite a few from Hamas.
Cairo, 11 July (AKI) – A Christian shopkeeper’s headless corpse was found in the Sinai Peninsula on Thursday, the second slaying of Christian there since the military deposed Egypt’s Islamist president Mohammed Morsi on 3 July.
Should the equivalent progeny of Wayne & Waynetta be experimenting with some fireworks & a few nuts & bolts in the local undergrowth, or even an errant spray can near any ‘sensitive’ community installations here, one does not imagine they’d be sent away by local plod with a flea in their ear on par with getting caught engaged in some dubious scrumping.
I’d hazard said moppet, and especially any adult accompanying him would indeed have been detained.
And if the acronyms daubed did not fall under BBC-approved lists, far from leaping to daft defences, they’d be at the head of the pitchfork and burning brand brigade.
More than 100 wounded Syrians receive care in Israel
