BICOM

BBC’s recent behavior has left it with no defense against claims of pro-Israel bias.

The Israeli government’s use of SodaStream to greenwash the occupation may have fooled politicians and mainstream journalists, but activists aren’t duped so easily.

UK Israel lobby group BICOM ignores illegality of settlements as they try to defend the existence of a Jewish state in a two-state solution framework.

Palestinian rights organizations and British charity War on Want urge NLWA to shun Veolia for its complicity in Israel’s violations of international law.

A pro-Israel newspaper promoted anti-Semitic slander on their website Friday. The story’s headline claimed “Unanimous UK Jewish community support for Israel” for its current attack on Gaza.

The head of a UK Israel lobby group describes the Palestinian BDS campaign as “designed” to “distress…the Jewish community.”

Speaking to Israeli TV earlier this month British ambassador Matthew Gould said Israel was increasingly losing support among middle-ground politicians in the UK because of its aggressive settlement policies. His comments confirm other indications of increased mainstream support for Palestine in the political mainstream, as I showed in a feature for EI last month.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews (BoD) has launched a campaign to pressure the Church of England to reject a proposed motion expressing support for the well-respected Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI).

BICOM, the Britain Israel Communications & Research Centre, prides itself on “providing daily, expert news summary” to politicians and journalists in the UK. But when it comes to an issue as contested as Iran, what BICOM considers news suggests a problematic bias.

The Israel lobby group BICOM is organizing a five-day “social media delegation” of UK bloggers to “to Israel and the Palestinian Authority” starting on Sunday.
