Of all the BBC correspondents, Kevin Connolly is the most blinkered. I have complained several times, without getting anywhere. He really should be redeployed to somewhere where his biases and preconceptions do not affect the content of his reporting. The BBC does have some good correspondents who sometimes report from Israel-Palestine in a reasonable, objective and balanced way. Jeremy Bowen files excellent reports; Lyse Doucet and Orla Guerin strike me as trying to do an honest job. But it seems to me that these correspondents are getting less and less exposure on Israel/Palestine and the ones, like KC and Hugh Sykes, who basically regurgitate the Israeli mainstream or government view are being given most of the airtime. Based on my listening to Radio 4.

I made a complaint about a report by Hughy Sykes which was a gushing view of how Kibbutzim are adapting to modern society without mentioning their racially exclusive population. It's like praising South African wine and food in 1980 without mentioning the apartheid system. The reply ignored my complaint and talked about the occupation, which was irrelevant. I escalated, and got the same reply. I have now referred it to the BBC Trust on the main ground that I expect a response which acknowledges the point I was complaining about, not addresses some other point, as well as reiterating my original complaint about the broadcast. It's astonishingly hard work to get to that stage and I can't say that I'm optimistic. More people need to get stuck in.

easy mistake to leave a shade of alternate meaning in a hurried conversation - Humphrys is certainly not a active pro-Israel supporter and is punctilious when it comes to deliberate bias. It's just a unfortunate nuance that escaped him. The BBC as an institution of the British State of course is bound by its national laws and overarching spirit as a nation - that really can't escape being biased against the Palestinians ; it's the nature of organisations based with thin State machinery to serve their long term "health" by following State policy. The British State is fundamentally pro-Israel because its own national interests cannot be undermined by proxy through "illegal" actions. Watching the BBC in action is like stepping into one of those Japanese survival games you have to be informed, motivated and concerned with every word they broadcast to understand their pusillanimous approach to the Palestinian question.

The BBC loyally promotes the Israeli state's narrative, no matter how meretricious and deceitful the claims. And "Today" leads the pack. So notorious has the corporation become that Britons routinely discount the Beeb's Middle East coverage. BBC attacks on Jeremy Corbyn have become an hourly feature of the broadcast day, while Conservative government policies are given emollient treatment and extensive airtime. The whole operation has become a rancid right wing relay station, and that's without even factoring in the dozens of cases of high-level rape and sexual abuse which reflect a long-standing culture of impunity. Billions in forced tribute are extracted from an increasingly unwilling public, to finance cooking contests, auto shows, dance competitions, and an unending stream of war-mongering propaganda. Time to call time on the racket. This is one state asset which deserves a sell-off.

From early years I believed that BBC was the most honest news media in the world. However, with advent of the internet revolution I compulsorily daily read other than BBC, NYT, Reuters and AP also Dawn(Pakistan), Al-Jazeera and RT to get a balanced opinion from which in my opinion is a well informed true picture of the situation.
The BBC reporting I have found widely lacking neutrality in coverage of the Palestinian's and Kashmirs' daily struggle to get their UN recognized rights which are being trampled and also being brushed under the carpet by the world opinion makers.
It is a moral obligation of human beings to raise voices for human rights and equality and for true awareness of facts. Awareness will in-turn change the world opinion as in general very vast majority of humans are good at heart.

You would think the BBC would be keep to keep their last little bit of credibility after breeding JIMMY SAVILLE and maybe stop covering things up and hiding the truth... BBC is worse than tabloid trash... in future I'll get my news for the national inquirer as it's more honest the the BBC. #boycottBBC!

The Palestinians are the people of Palestine the land that is illegally occupied by a foreign Army, they have been oppressed and victims of genocide - to make it clear genocide is the deliberate killing and ethnic clearing of a large group of people especially those of a nation or ethnic group!the news of this genocide has been unreported or bias towards the occupying army simply because of the power Israel wields in the West. It is a typical David and Goliath situation guns against sling shots - so sickening and a manifestation of the worlds present difficulties caused by the West!

What actions are the BBC Taking to prevent this happening again?
The presenters should be at least be given a final warning as this is not the first time that this has happened and Kevin Connolly moved.
John Humphrys is in any case far too confrontational and should retire and one has to question Sarah Montague's impartiality on this subject
The Today Programme should make a statement and an aplology at prime time.
