Interesting omission in the BBC
Jan. 28th, 2011 05:43 pmI can't find the page, but I read a few days ago on the BBC website that a recent investigation into Israel's attack on the Turkish flotilla last year found the Israeli forces not guilty of wrongdoing. My mindset on the topic is that it doesn't matter what happened on the flotilla, since it's endangered Israel's relations with one of its few Middle Eastern allies, Turkey. But anyway, todday I was browsing the Al-Jazeera website, and found that this investigation was actually done by the Israelis.
I didn't go into too much detail, I know Al-Jazeera's stance on Israel and my stance is simply that if Israel carries on the way it has there isn't going to be an Israel in 50 years whether I support them or not, so whether or not they fudged the document is beside the point. My puzzlement is simply, why didn't the BBC say this? It seems like a pretty vital piece of info.
Anyway, just typing out loud here.
