If you haven't spent approximately seven minutes of your life watching the following exchange from a few days ago (just after the very real possibility of some hostage releases became relevant) between Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy and Sky News presenter Kay Burley, you might not be aware of (or following) the current anti-Israel bias WRT the pernicious Jews' pernicious hostage pernicious negotiation pernicious position.

You may have thought the BBC was in a class by itself on this matter.

But, No.

Sky News to BBC: Hold My Beer.

Honestly--even if you're an anti-Israel shill--it beggars belief. At least, if it doesn't, I'm very clear that I don't want anything to do with you:

If your life is so full, fun, and rewarding, and if you only have a moment to spare, perhaps ignore Mr. Levy's poignant remarks in opposition to this miserable woman's bitter questions, and start at 4:17 with Ms. Burley's reference to an (unnamed) "hostage negotiator."

Kay Burley: I was speaking to a hostage negotiator this morning. He made the comparison between the 50 hostages that Hamas has promised, promised to release, as opposed to the 150 prisoners that are Palestinians that Israel has said that it will release, and he made the comparison between the numbers and the fact that does Israel not think that Palestinian lives are valued as highly as Israeli lives..."

Mr. Levy's bug-eyed, disgusted, response speaks for itself.

Nevertheless, and for emphasis, I'll speak for myself too, and say simply that:

A member of what passes for a major, influential news channel allowing such a libel to pass without comment and without even rationally checking it at the door also speaks for itself. Given Ms. Burley's history (readily available on the Internet), I'm not surprised.

But what I think isn't important. Or surprising. What is important is that many who were born after me, who don't pay as close attention as I do, or who come at the matter from an ingrained, non-factual perspective--even a few of you here--find her attitude perfectly OK. And that, if we don't complain about it, shout about it, and lay down a marker, they and you will take the field. That's important, too.

So here it is. Complaint. Shouting. Marker.

That is all.

    I thought at one point that Sky News was positioning itself to be the alternative to the BBC based on not being predictably horrible.

    So much for that.

    I very much hope they realize she needs to be torpedoed.

    Yeah. You're not the only one.

    She is evil and deserves more than what she will get.

    Every last Palestinian sympathizer is pro genocide.

    There is no middle ground.

    Support for those monsters is support for genocide.

    The moral idiocy is sumpin' else.

    Mark Twain's quote comes to mind: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
