Impartial BBC to Fly Israeli Flag on News Broadcasts

Please support BBC impartiality by paying your £145 per annum TV Licence Tax

LONDON - England - In an effort to remain 'impartial' the BBC is going to play the Israeli national anthem at every news broadcast. In a further bid for impartial reporting, the BBC news logo will be offset in front of an Israeli flag from now on, according to the head of news programming.

Speaking from Tel Aviv, the BBC Director General, Yerachmiel Thompsonbaum, spoke of his disgust at being asked to broadcast a message of humanitarian aid for the dying thousands in Gaza after the Israeli bombing: "There has been a suggestion that we should broadcast a 'humanitarian' appeal for the thousands of people who are 'dying in Gaza'. There is no one dying in Gaza, there is no proof of this fact. In fact we feel that everything is rosy in Gaza and there is no need to help people who are doing fine. British TV licence payers can rest assured that we, at the BBC, are dedicated to impartial reporting."

The BBC has previously run appeals after wars in Africa and in the former Yugoslavia but has now drawn the line with Gaza's Palestinians.

Instead, starting from tomorrow, there will be a BBC tribute to all the brave Israeli tank crews, bomber pilots, artillery and soldiers who reduced the Gaza ghetto into a pile of rubble and misery.

"I think the BBC is right not to broadcast the appeal. The BBC should remain impartial. I would be disappointed if the BBC changed its mind," Feivel Goldberg from Golders Green, North London wrote on the BBC's website.

BBC news directors have also been ordered to change the news logo so as to accentuate the BBC's dedication to impartiality.

"The BBC news logo will be changed from Monday. It will incorporate the design of the Israeli flag and our news broadcasts will also start with the playing of the Israeli national anthem. Thank you for paying our huge salaries with your TV Licence so you can have an impartial news broadcaster," a BBC announcer told audiences last night.

Don't forget folks, Jonathan Ross is back again with his £6 million BBC salary after his little paid vacation. Keep paying the TV Licence, it is well worth it.

I have persuaded all of my friends and family to not pay the TV licence (TAX) anymore. No doubt we will be receiving threatening letters from the BBC sooner or later.

It's good to be impartial when the Israelis are the aggressors but not good to be impartial when the Arabs are the aggressors.

That's how impartiality at the BBC works.

The BBC have no problem whatsoever staging other fundraisers, yet won't do one for Gaza? The BBC is bowing to Israel and a government that is not even their own. Absolutely disgusting on all counts. The Israeli Army (after much American funding, I might add) is one of the most powerful in the world and if they wanted to take out Hamas, they could. Yet they don't. And why, you may ask? It's simple really. Hamas fire their handmade rockets that have killed not even a dozen people and Israel can use that as an excuse to kill thousands of Palestinians. FUCK ISRAEL AND ITS SUPPORTERS.

I've already pusuaded 20 of my friends and family to stop paying the horrible tv licence. This is a good excuse as any to stop paying. If everyone pursuades at least 20 of their pals to do the same we could have a good result.

The BBC has every right to protect Israel. We are the ones who are being attacked daily by the Palestinian Hamas terrorists.

The BBC has acted accordingly considering the terrible situation.

The Daily Squib however cannot be accused of being impartial can it?
