      BBC Accused of Bias—Again


      The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has been accused of anti-Israel bias for the third time in recent weeks.  British-Israeli Attorney Trevor Asserson has charged the BBC’s Arabic-language “Hadith al-Sa’a” (Talk of the Hour) program with broadcasting pro-Hizbullah and pro-Iran coverage during the Second Lebanon War.

      According to Asserson, the BBC station’s commentators made no attempt to hide their pro-Hizbullah bias during the war.  He has called on the British government to revoke the station’s broadcasting license in response.

      The BBC network was recently caught falsely claiming that Israel had destroyed a terrorist’s house in Jerusalem.  In addition, the network accused Israel of deliberately killing civilians in Gaza.
