Media
Bias Against Israel
The
world community must be made aware of how biased the international
media, chiefly CNN, the BBC, the New York Times and almost
all the French and the British media are towards Israel.
It has been a longstanding fact of life, and we have almost
become accustomed to it.
But
on a recent visit to Europe, and the spate of serious anti-Semitic
attacks, including the burning of synagogues (8 in France,
with 26 more failed attempts, and attacks even in Britain!)
have convinced me, and others I spoke with, that we are
facing a much graver situation now. The media is not only
waging a war on Israel, but on the Jewish people. By presenting
Israelis as wilful murderers of children it reawakens old
atavistic anti-Jewish attitudes that in the past resulted
in terrible tragedies. Urgent measures should be taken to
counteract this media bias.

There is no doubt that Arab oil money plays an important
part in swaying the sympathies of radio, television and
the press. A massive budget is necessary to put matters
right. This is not an easy task.
