This sketch appears to have run on BBC two weeks back. Actors impersonating employees of the Israeli Embassy inform unwitting shopowners that their property will be taken to make way for the embassy’s expansion. The degree of mockery of the religious rationales for settlements is staggering, and would never happen in the U.S. Now anyway.
Even more bracing is the blunt mockery of the use of the anti-Semitism charge to head off any criticism of Israel. “I’m finding that smile a bit anti-Semitic, mate, so you should really wise up with your face.”
Some of the lines:
“Before it was your land it was our land, so we’re really going to take what’s rightfully ours…
“We’ve got a very very old planning book, it’s about 2000 years old…
“‘This is our land as given to us by the almighty…
“Without putting too fine a point on it, mate, they’re going to bulldoze your land.”…
“Can I have a letter?”
“We generally go with bulldozers first, and letters later…“And you see all those olives you’ve got in the deli display there, they’re ours too…
“I’m finding that smile a bit anti-Semitic, mate, so you should really wise up with your face….
“You’re being a bit anti-Semitic. It’s only a conservatory.”
This is very funny, but it’s no surprise that it was tucked away in the relative obscurity of BBC3.
Where it really counts – news coverage – the BBC is unrelentingly anti-Palestinian, and becoming more so with every passing week.
Palestinian Ambassador to Czech Republic Jamal al Jamal has been killed in an explosion:

“A Palestinian official said: “This explosion happened at his house. He recently moved there. He was taken to hospital. An investigation is under way.”
A second Palestinian source said: “He moved an old case with him to the new house from the old house. And when he opened it, the explosion happened.””
the decades-long propaganda campaign by zionists to link zionism with being jewish has crumbled, but they don’t realize it yet hence their continued reliance on the “anti-semitism” canard … people are anti-jewish or they are not and much of the world now understands the difference between being culturally or religiously jewish and being politically zionist with all its inhuman excesses
They nailed it!
Nice to see someone extracting the Michael out of the occupation nation.
The whole absurdity of project zionism is out in the open and nothing will get it back in again.
Well done to the BBC.
