re: #8 Ascher

Do you seriously not understand how disturbing it is for a Jew to see evidence that an organization such as the BBC (publicly funded, no less) is willing to be ambiguous about Israel’s sovereignty; to see Israel treated on a separate footing than other sovereign countries? I found your response unsettling, to say the least.

As I already posted:

!srael’s financial centre is Tel Aviv,[18] while Jerusalem is the country’s most populous city, and its capital (although not recognized internationally as such).

The BBC likes to appear neutral. Argue about the wisdom of this particular decision if you want, my beef is with the idiotic knee jerk accusation of antisemitism against the BBC. It’s an old wingnut trope that belongs on Jihad Watch, not here.

And as I indicated earlier, if you had any real familiarity with the BBC’s output, instead of what you know from wingnut scare stories on the internet, you’d realise how silly the accusation is.
