Husam Zomlot, Palestinian ambassador to the UK stands up to the BBC for its biased coverage

The media, with its agenda and biased coverage, tends to manipulate the masses by giving them only a one-sided story, often woven into fabrications of lies, so to gear the thoughts of the same masses. As witnessed how the lying media coverage depicted the the 2018 migrant caravan, the propaganda machine will use the same tactics, with maybe some additional computer games in order to deceive the public and give them a different version from what is truly happening in Israel. During war, word of mouth is of no value, and even what we see may not be true. Governments are adept at manipulating.

Here is what Husam Zomlot, a Palestinian diplomat, academic and economist who was appointed Head of the Palestinian Mission to the United Kingdom in October 2018 had to say on air to the BBC for its biased coverage:

“How many times has Israel committed war crimes, live on your own cameras? Do you start by asking them to condemn themselves? Have you? You don’t. You don’t. No, no, I’ll answer that question, you don’t. You know why I refuse to answer this question? Because I refuse to answer the premise of it. Because at the very heart of it, is misrepresentation of the whole thing. Because it’s the Palestinians who are always expected to condemn themselves. I mean, come on, this is a political conflict. We have been denied our rights for a long time. You bring us here whenever there are Israelis who are killed. Did you bring me here when many Palestinians in the West Bank, more than 200 over the last few months? Do you invite me when there are such Israeli provocations in Jerusalem and elsewhere? Because what the Israelis have seen, which we started by saying tragic, the last 48 hours, the Palestinians see every day for the last 50 years. You know the situation in Gaza, you have just described it. This is the biggest open air prison. Those people, 2 million have been taken hostage by Israel for the past 16 years.”
