Agree that the reporting shows a definite bias. Without Israel fighting for it's very survival, the West doesn't stand a chance against Islam.

The BBC's coverage of the recent Gaza conflict quickly degenerated into a very biased narrative

Nearly all your reporting is in support of the Palestinians who have waited years to breakout through their tunnels into Israel

We believe that the tone of all the news bulletins tends to highlight the plight of the Palestinians without showing the similar actions in Israel.

Repeated lack of context to the history of unprovoked attacks against Israel. Also lock of investigation of Hamas' principles against Israel.

Still waiting for the Balen Report to be made public. Israel is fighting our wars (the West) we should show them a bit more respect. Shalom and Shana Tova, Happy Jewish New Year!

I pray that the one true God, the God of Israel will open the eyes of these people who wish to divide the land which is totally against the word of God . May God forgive us as a nation that has totally walked away from God's standard; we certainly deserved to be judged as a nation.

The BBC's coverage of Gaza conflict was hopelessly biased. They were used by the terrorist organization Hamas and little of the real truth came out.

I have been sickened by the mis-infortmation and bias shown by the BBC over the conflict in Gaza. Even Palestinians living in Gaza are now telling us the facts about the Hamas atrocities and war crimes. Why are you not able to at least seek the facts. This BBC propoganda only adds to the rise of anti-semitism in this country.

There has once again been a war between Hamas and Israel . Once again the BBC chose to be biased against Israel. The Panorama programme reported by Jane Corbin on the Terror Tunnels into Israel was still biased towards the Gazans. No mention made of the IDF hospital set up to treat injured Gazans. None came to the hospital because they were warned not to by Hamas. What about all the thousands of women and children killed by indiscriminate bombing in Syria. It is OK for Arabs to kill Arabs but when Israel does it the BBC is up in arms. All killing of civilians is wrong but at least Israel takes more care than most countries to prevent civilian casualties- more than the US and the UK and of course Syria.

The BBC biased reporting is in my opinion a criminal action in that it stirred up anti-semitic hatred on a gloabl scale The BBC with its Midlles eastern Staff should be proscueted

Where is the 'freedom' in the Freedom of Information Act if there has to be a wait of ten years for the publication of the Balen Report. It does not take that long for the ink to dry surely! Please let us see the Report.
