BBC Distorts Reality of Life in Hebron
(Honest Reporting) Emanuel Miller - A flashy new feature on the BBC website entitled "Hebron: One street, two sides," takes one of the most complex places in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and creates a spectacularly misleading and one-sided narrative. The presentation starts by describing Hebron as "the only Jewish settlement...in the middle of a Palestinian urban center." This is only half the story. In reality, Hebron has a Jewish history dating back millennia. The interactive website features nine video clips, of which seven are severely critical towards the local Jewish community or sympathetic with the Arab residents of the city. No video footage is taken from the Jewish community or pro-Israel organizations showing shootings, stabbing attacks, or riots.
