Remember Nick Robertson? He is the CNN reporter who took viewers on a lovely tour of southern Lebanon courtesy of a nice Hezballah man. Well, it seems that the same terrorist-sympathizing idiocy has taken hold of the world's other big news network, the BBC.
While listening last night to a BBC interview with Nawar al Sahili, a Hezballah party member of the Lebanese parliament, I was treated with not only the same old Islamist meme professing a love for Jews in theory, but a hate for the Jews who live in Israel today, but also a few good whacks on Christians in America, courtesy of the BBC reporter. A couple brief interludes went like this...
BBC: Now doesn't your policy open you up to charges of anti-semitism?
NaS: No. Listen my dear friend. It is not Jews that we are against. It is the Zionists...the Zionist leadership that we are against.
BBC: Doesn't Hezballah wish to implement Sharia law all over Lebanon?
NaS: No, my dear friend. We have Muslims, Christians, Catholic, Orthodox working together. Christians are know Shi'a and most support the resistance.
BBC: Now let's turn to the religious aspect of this...Many, especially in the United States, say that this a larger, global religious conflict between Christians and other world religions or something.
From there is goes on a bit longer. I'm not sure which is more appalling, that the reporter allowed a major Lebanese politician qua terrorist further the anti-zionist but pro-Jewish lie, or that the reporter himself tried blaming the whole thing on Bible-thumping Americans. It really does show the whacky ideology of much the media elite. Forget the fact that Christians, even fundamentalist ones, have yet to launch giant rockets into Tijuana for the sake of co-opting Mexico into a large Christian, biblical state. Forget the fact that it is a teeny-tiny minority of American Christians who hold to this whole apocalptic let's raze the Arab world and make way for Jesus idea. In fact, it is a rather large contingent of Muslims, especially the Hezballah ones, who ruthlessly fight for a Sharia-ruled world, in and out of the Middle East.
The elites can have all the fun they want with the End of Days Christians. Now is not the time for that. Now, like it or not, it is radical Islam which is using force to forward their ideology, not the Christian Coalition. What's more, I don't know a single Christian in office who believes America should be at war for the sake of the Second Coming. There are 23 Hezballah members of Lebanese parliament whose unity charter states that they must annhilate Israel for the sake of building a greater Islamic world, or Umah. Even the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmendinejad has time and time again urged this transformation and he wants to hasten it with nukes.
Reporters like the BBC stud and Nick Robertson sell out to terrorist propagandists for a couple of reasons. Because they're reporters they are supposed to believe that nobody is right or wrong. It's facts, only, mister! So for them there's little difference between Hezballah leader Nasrallah and Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister. Deep down, they probably do despise and hate Hezballah for the terrorists they are. Rightfully so, may I add. But they must, at all times, maintain a guise of absolutely unbiased journalism. They end up looking like sympathizers.
Secondly, it's a darn good scoop. And because journalism is all about the big scoop these days, it has become perfectly acceptable to let a terrorists tool around with you because you are getting a major scoop. The kind that will launch you into the journalistic limelight. So it doesn't matter what al Sahili & Co. really say as long as you're the man on the other end of the tele or microphone. That's why these jihadists can get away with articulating such rubbish as the idea that Jews are okay, as long as they stay away. Here we call that racism. If you try to murder them, we call that racist murder. I suppose at the Beebs, CNN, and the New York Times, it's better known as "resistance." Let's hope the west can put up their own resistance against such ninny-minded moral silliness.
