The BBC, ever mindful of British obligations to their swelling Muslim population, decided on its BBC Sport website to name the capital of every country participating in the London Olympic games except one: Israel. Even more incredibly, the site listed Palestine as a country and named its capital as East Jerusalem. But for Israel, a capital wasn’t even listed.
Israel’s government, angered by the
omission, responded with a letter by Mark Regev, the Prime Minister’s
Spokesman, to Paul Danahar, the Middle East bureau chief of the BBC:
Dear Paul,
I
am dismayed by the BBC’s decision to discriminate against Israel on the
BBC’s Olympic website. Every country (and non-country) participating in
the London 2012 games has been given a page on your website with
background information about the country, including mention of the
capital city. Every country (and non-country), except Israel.
Jerusalem
is the capital of the State of Israel, and accordingly we respectfully
request the immediate rectification of the matter.
The BBC then amended the website by
writing that Palestine, has an “intended seat of government - East
Jerusalem. Ramallah serves as administrative capital.” Israel was still
not given a capital; instead, the BBC said that it had a “seat of
government - Jerusalem, though most foreign embassies are in Tel Aviv.”
For decades, Great Britain has bowed to
the Arab countries surrounding Israel; as far back as the 1940’s the
British wiretapped American Jews who supported an independent Jewish
state, and when the war of 1948 started, the British supplied the Arabs
with arms. Thus it is not surprising that the British, who are now
threatened by a rapidly growing Muslim population, will do anything to
placate their Arab brethren, even denying the eternal capital of the
Jewish people.
