BBC doesn’t mention Israeli heroes in pirate attack

It's unbelievable how anti-British, anti-American and anti-Israeli the BBC actually is. There's no way you can read a news article from the BBC and expect to receive an accurate accounting. It's shameful and those working for the BBC should be embarrassed.

Here's a great example from Don Surber.com:

The BBC account credited the “crew” of the Italian cruise ship, Melody, without mentioning it was really an Israeli security force that fended off a pirate attack near the coast of Somalia.

And you thought the BBC was only anti-British.

This was a pretty big deal. A private ship did not need military assistance on thwarting a pirate raid. The ship had 1,000 passengers and a crew of 500, plus and undisclosed number of security guards.

AP reported: “Domenico Pellegrino, head of the Italian cruise line, said Msc Cruises hired the Israelis because they were the best trained security agents, the ANSA news agency reported.”

The BBC report did not mention the nationality of the security team.

I wonder why?

I sent an e-mail.

The BBC report is here.

I posted the AP version (and my comments) here earlier.
