Criticism of Slanted BBC 4 Documentary on Jerusalem and Zionism

BICOM: BBC 4 Documentary "Battle for the Holyland"; also Current Viewpoint
Attached are two excellent articles criticizing a recent BBC 4 documentary on Israel and the Palestinians and providing extremely well considered counter arguments to this sloppy documentary athat I urge all supporters of Israel and history to read, particularly kids going to college. For those Americans, Jewish and non-Jewish, who cannot believe how European public opinion can be so lopsided opposite American opinion when it comes to the issue of the Israelis and the Palestinians, read these pieces about this BBC propaganda. While they speak English with that British upper class, all-knowing accent that we have been trained to respect, the BBC has long been shameless in its one-sided unbalanced attacks on the legitimacy of Israel and, more and more, all things Jewish as well. This is the creeping anti-Semitism of the intellectual Left and their journalistic cronies, and it is nowhere more domineering than in Europe but it is spreading here. In the US the dominance of these elements of the Left are not as pronounced in daily life, though very prevalent on campus, where they are trying to convert the next generation of Americans to their cause. The only positive thing I can say about this is that in Europe the electorates of France and Germany have voted in governments that are more moderate and "less civilized" in their views than their Leftist elite. That being said, public opinion polls in Europe continue to be hopelessly poisoned against Israel (as well as the US), and documentaries like this one are a big part of the reason why.
