| The BBC website item "Talking
point" deals with the question "Are Israeli actions in Gaza
justified?" The article ends with the questions:"Do you think that the Israelis' actions are justified? Do you live in Gaza and have you been affected by the demolitions, or do you live in Israel and have an opinion on the issue? Send us your comments." A poll must be balanced. This BBC
poll is anti-Israeli biased instead. Look at BBC's questions. To be
balanced they should read: 'Do you think that Israel's actions are
justified? Do you live in Gaza and have you been affected by the
demolitions, or do you live in Israel and have you been affected
by Palestinian terror?' |
