the BBC has lost all credibility in its reporting of operation Protective Edge. It does almost nothing to present the suffering on the Israeli side and simply falls for propaganda fed to it by Hamas which manipulates the media under duress and the gun.

Publish the Balen report. I am disgusted by the BBC's biased reporting of the situation in Gaza.

It is not only the blatant, but also the subtle bias in news reporting that needs to be addressed - perhaps the Balen Report looked at this - it needs to be published for us to find this out.

"If Hamas does not like you for any reason all they have to do now is say you are a Mossad agent and kill you." — A., a Fatah member in Gaza. "Hamas wanted us butchered so it could win the media war against Israel showing our dead children on TV and then get money from Qatar." — T., former Hamas Ministry officer. "They would fire rockets and then run away quickly, leaving us to face Israeli bombs for what they did." — D., Gazan journalist. "Hamas imposed a curfew: anyone walking out in the street was shot. That way people had to stay in their homes, even if they were about to get bombed. Hamas held the whole Gazan population as a human shield." — K., graduate student "The Israeli army allows supplies to come in and Hamas steals them. It seems even the Israelis care for us more than Hamas." — E., first-aid volunteer. "We are under Hamas occupation, and if you ask most of us, we would rather be under Israeli occupation… We miss the days when we were able to work inside Israel and make good money. We miss the security and calm Israel provided when it was here." — S., graduate of an American university, former Hamas sympathizer.

The publication of the Balen Report would probably be extremely damaging to the reputations of some of the present and previous highest profile BBC news presenters, reporters and editors - that is why the report will never be released to the public. We need a whistleblower or someone courageous enough to validate and verify all of what we believe to be the truth!!!

Why won't the Balen Report be released? What are you afraid of? Afraid that the bias of the BBC along with all the media in USA is extremely biased against Israel which is leading to anti-semitic feelings and activities. Shame on the BBC! Release the report!
