BBC employs Hamas terrorist?

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 26, 2007 08:56 PM

Why does this not surprise me:

The Jerusalem Post casually reveals a bit of information that qualifies as one of the outrages of the year, in an article about a Hamas member who is supposedly trying to get BBC reporter Alan Johnston released: Israel lets Hamas member enter Gaza.

This particular Hamas member is employed by the British Broadcasting Corporation.

    I doubt that it is just one Hamas member on the payroll and no, I am not surprised because it explains a lot about the BBC’s hatred for Israel.

    My biggest question concerning the British is how the same people who withstood bombing and terrifying actions from the Nazis become so weak minded and act like why can’t we all just get along?

    Including with the terrorists who want to blow us up just like our American friends. You go from Winston Churchill, who would be called a war monger prior to Hitler’s war machine attacking, to surrendering at all costs to stay alive today?

    Doesn’t sound very stiff upper lip and British to me at all!

    To summerize JLEverts comments, our friends across the pond went from Winston Churchill to Ward Churchill in less than a generation.

    Maybe the BBC can trade him for Alan Johnston.

    The U.K. is currently being screwed by the Muslims population who moved there thanks to the generosity, the globalism, the political correctness of Her Majesty’s successive governments.

    The U.K. is screwed and it is beyond repair.

    Our only hope is that America doesn’t get screwed as much by the traitors politicians, starting by Bush.

    To the left leaning multiculturalists, Hamas is a virtuous group of social workers who just want to help people. Those leaners see what they want to see, so they are INCAPABLE of seeing the army of jihadists who will, in the near future, go toe to toe with British police and riot cops AND WIN (because they have stockpiled arms and coordinated their bomb making centers for full scale insurrections.) That is the Nazi way and Hamas is going to sweep itself into power in the British parliament the same way they did in the provisional government in Abbas’ circus. Appeasement only makes the monster bigger. Britain was the land of Neville Chamberlain before Churchill…so their reversion to the easy way is very British. No war footing…no British valiantry.

    I can’t seem to find any articles written by Alan Johnston. From what I remember, his articles have (had) an anti-Israel slant he was very pro-Palestinian.

    It’s a shame I can’t find his old articles to confirm this. It would be such a grave irony - he spends his professional career spitting on Israel and getting cosy with the Palestinians, then he gets nabbed by the Palestinians and has bombs strapped on his chest.

    I know it’s cold and crass, but I have no sympathy for the BBC correspondent(s) operating in the middle east. Hopefully, this will be a wake-up call for them.

    A long long trail of the BBC’s anti-Bush, anti-Israel, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity slant has been recorded at the Biased-BBC site. (www.biased-bbc.blogspot.com).

    In amongst the archives are plenty of examples of Alan Johnston’s pro-Palestinian reports.

    A fish rots from the head. Currently, The head of Middle East broadcasting for the BBC is Jeremy Bowen - with a far worse and more pervasive record than Alan Johnstone. Starting with his complete misreading of the 1967 war in the book he wrote - and which he reprised this year on all BBC channels. “It was Israel that caused it all, then and now” is his underLYING theme.

    Someone has left this post at the Biased-BBC blog site :

    “BBC Jobs
    Broadcast Assistant - Gaza

    BBC News needs a local Broadcast Assistant to work closely with our presenters, news and production teams in Gaza. As part of the team you’ll be developing programme ideas, recording interviews, setting up guests, supporting programmes and helping to bring about the destruction of Israel so that the banner of Allah can be raised over every inch of Palestine. You’ll have a good broadcasting voice, a passion for life and local news in Gaza, and a keen desire to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth in accordance with Allah’s wishes. Good keyboard and Katushya skills an advantage. “

    JohninLondon — Just split my sides laughing.

    Britain has always proven herself to be strong in times of crisis and will eventually wake up, overcoming the current state of Idiocracy she now faces.

    As for the BBC and its obvious ties to Hamas, there are only three words fit to describe such an egregious, criminal offense: Oh…My…God…

    Since the BBC has such a liberal bias, shouldn’t this be classified as cronyism?

“I have been dressed in what is an explosive belt, which the kidnappers say will be detonated if there is an attempt to storm the area,” Mr Johnston said. “They say they are ready to turn the hideout into what they describe as a death zone if there is an attempt to free me by force … It seems the answer is to return to negotiations, which I am told are very close to achieving a deal.”
