"... the Israeli state has successfully intimidated the BBC into presenting the theft of Palestinian land and the caging, torturing and killing of its people as an intractable "conflict" between equals. Standing in the rubble from an Israeli attack, one BBC journalist went further and referred to "Gaza's strong culture of martyrdom". So great is this distortion that young viewers of BBC News have told Glasgow University researchers they are left with the impression that Palestinians are the illegal colonisers of their own country. The current BBC "coverage" of Gaza's genocidal misery reinforces this."
(John Pilger)

I've been wondering; as the BBC does all in its power to cover up the atrocities and to lay the blame for the conflict at the victims' door, could it be laying itself open to the charge of being an accessory to war crimes?
