The BBC has been branded antisemitic by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and placed third on its annual “Global Antisemitism Top Ten” list, according to a Sunday report.

First and second place went to Iran and the Gaza-based Hamas terror group, respectively.

The head of the organization, Marvin Hier, told the Daily Mail that “people might be surprised to see the BBC on our list, but the decision to place the BBC at No. 3 came after months of intense debate and discussion.”

“We believe the BBC has been guilty of several incidences of antisemitism during the past year,” he said.

“People might assume we would put neo-Nazi groups on our list,” Hier told the paper, “but the BBC is there because when a globally recognized organization allows antisemitism to creep into its reporting, it makes it all the more insidious and dangerous.”

The BBC Ignores 99 Percent of Attacks on Israelis. - Jan Shure (Jewish Chronicle-UK)

There were 189 terror incidents against Israelis in June - more than six per day. These included 117 attacks with petrol bombs, 42 with pipe bombs, 16 arson attacks, 11 shootings and two stabbings. There was also a rocket attack directed at the city of Ashkelon.

 The BBC failed to report almost any of these, though it was very quick to record injuries or fatalities which result from Israel's counter-measures.

 BBC News reported just 1% of the terror attacks against Israelis, but it reported 89% of the resulting actions by Israel.  

 Few aspects of the BBC's editorial stance better illustrate its role in fanning the flames of anti-Israel feeling - and thus, indirectly, fanning the flames of anti-Semitism.

This cavernous imbalance in reporting damages Israel and harms Jews, because of the blowback on Jewish communities.

That Israelis experienced more than six terror incidents per day in June is the kind of context that is vital to enable BBC viewers to make a fair judgement on Israeli actions.

 Its omission massively manipulates reality in favour of Israel's enemies. That is immoral.
