The BBC is not a private organization but is funded by licence payers. There should be transparency, and the Balen report should be made public. Is the BBC trying to hide something?

Not only do the BBC broadcast creepy anti-semitic propoganda, they deny it. That in iself is an indication of guilt as otherwise they would be shocked or surprised. They appear to sneer about it. Creeeeepy!

A robust investigation into media bias against Israel is long overdue.

Sadly once again has failed to show even handed and accurate reporting from its reporters in Israel.

Why has the BBC been using tax payers money to prevent publication of "The Balen Report"?

My faith in the impartiallity of the BBC when Israel is concerned has been entirely eroded. As an example, recent reports during the Gaza conflict never led with the launching by Hamas of rockets. It was always Israel's air strikes "in response to ... " almost as an after thought. Jeremy Bowen has a lot to answer for as has Orla Guerin. When will the BBc return to balanced reporting viz a viz the Middle East?

The repeated broadcasting of images of wounded children play to the propaganda Hamas. The efforts of Israel to minimise casualties, while Hamas potentially maximised casualties by the use of Human shields protect its weapons stores & launch sites was underplayed. Mr Abbas, the leader of Fatah has laid such allegations at the feet of Hamas & exposed the corruption of Hamas. I found Al Jazeera had a more balanced reporting of the conflict than the BBC.

We both found the reporting on the gaza conflict to be totally biased in favour of the terrorist attacks launched from gaza by Hamas. Israel's response was completely within reason!

I personally have experienced hostility in relation to the anti-Semitic bias reported on the BBC news and radio. The BBC once prided itself in being unbiased and fair in its reporting and was respected internationally for its service. Sadly It has now become a source of distress to those on the receiving end of attacks and hostility as a result of this bias reporting. It is shameful and outrageous that such a powerful corporation should be allowed to continue unchecked and unchallenged. It brings shame on our nation and great misery to those who have to live every day in the shadow of anti-Semitism.

The BBC has little credibility when it comes to reporting on Israel. Key facts and basic truths are omitted so that the report is skewed and made to portray Israel in a bad light. This is as unprofessional as it gets!

BBC programmes do not portray the BBC as friends of Israel. This report should be published, so that the truth comes out.

When I watch the BBC coverage regarding Israel I see that the BBC has no concern for truth or facts, just their own anti-Israel, left-wing bias and I wonder why I am forced to pay for a TV Licence. The BBC reporting is an absolute disgrace.
