They cut Late Junction and amplify Israeli hasbara. That may seem like juxtaposing the apparently trivial with the deadly. But it is a good metric for describing the priorities of BBC management.

It’s Democracy Jim, But Not as We Know it
I object strongly to those who claim Israel is not a democracy. It is a democracy! But it’s an apartheid democracy. That’s the finer point they are missing.

Next Year in Palestine
“Next year in Jerusalem”, is a phrase that is often sung at the end of the Passover Seder and at the end of the Ne’ila service on Yom Kippur. It expresses the desire of Jews to return to Jerusalem. May every Jew understand that “next year in Jerusalem”, in peace and with the willing acceptance of …
How the Unfit Came to Rule the World
Once upon a time only the fittest survived. And once upon a time fittest equated to strongest. Since the beginning of time more or less, only the strong, violent, and fearless, who did not recoil at the sight of blood, torn flesh and shattered bone – who may positively have thrived at the sight of …
Need a Car? Israeli Historian Benny Morris Says You Can Steal It

The Mouse, the Hippopotamus, and the Grain Store: A True Story
If you listen to Israelis and their defenders, everything is the fault of the Palestinians. According to this narrative, they rejected a “generous” offer of 44% of their land in 1948 and have since rejected all overtures from an Israel eager for peace and coexistence. They allegedly resist unreasonably, irrationally, and violently against Israel’s settlement …
