  BBC: Obstacle to Understanding on Water BBC's Martin Asser observes that Middle Eastern rhetoric often casts Israel as a malevolent sponge sucking up Arab water resources. His article is a prime example of that distorted picture. BBC Amends Faulty Article on Iraqi Jews, Acknowledges Farhud After a BBC article whitewashed the persecution of Iraqi Jews, CAMERA's official complaint to the BBC prompted the broadcaster to acknowledge anti-Jewish discrimination and a brutal massacre in Iraq. Border-line Improvement at BBC "Obstacles" Series Of all the installments of Martin Asser's "Obstacles to Peace" series, the "Borders and Settlements" section is the most balanced. Though it lacks the vitriolic language of the other reports, it nevertheless has serious shortcomings. BBC: Obstacle to Understanding on Refugees In light of Martin Asser's May 24, 2007 Obstacles to Peace: Refugees" feature, which employs the most extreme myths and cliches about the Palestinian refugees, its no wonder "there is no Arab-Israeli issue that remains as utterly divisive as the fate of Palestinian refugees." BBC: Obstacle to Understanding on Jerusalem The BBC News Web site's series about obstacles to peace in the Middle East finds one culprit: Israel. Terrorism and incitement to genocide are not part of the one-sided equation. BBC's Profiles Obscure Reality More than a year ago (2001-2002), BBC posted on its Web site several profiles of Middle Eastern leaders and groups. The profiles whitewashed Palestinian terrorist figures while, at the same time, harshly disparaging the Israeli prime minister. Despite letters to BBC about its unfair and biased features, the profiles remain unrevised on the Web site. Unfortunately, the misinformation in these features has been quoted and repeated as fact in English language newspapers across the world. For BBC to post such blatantly biased profiles is a violation of its own ethical code of impartiality, accuracy and fairness.
