The misguided sympathy of this BBC reporter is palpable. He is blatantly on the side of the vicious here. Has he no concept that most "collaborators" simply want something done about the thugs and murderers who ride herd on them, who hide behind and amongst them, who destroy their neighborhoods and people? (Remember this guy?) Clearly to this BBC reporter, they are tainted...traitors. He has accepted terror's narrative.
Here is a "traitor's" fate in 'Palestine'...
Stigma of life in 'Traitors' Village' by Tim Butcher:
In front of a large crowd, Muhammad Mansour was beaten, shot at close range in the side of the head and then the mother of one of the men he betrayed was then called forward to stab his lifeless corpse and pluck out his eyes...
Via Melanie Phillips who notes something else odd about the report.
Sorry about that blank comment.
What I was going to say was that it reminds me of Menachem Begin's line about Sabra and Shatila, which went something like this: The goyim kill the goyim, and they blame the Jews.
I don't think anti-anti-Semite are welcome in middle east reporting. Think how much cheaper it is for networks and wire services to hire Jihadis, totalitarian propagandists and people too stupid to question them than it would be to protect and pay real reporters to go to the mid east.
If you had a sane reporter asking real questions, that would rock the boat so badly that they'd have to spend real money for reporting in the mid east. Also if you had sane reports, suddenly you couldn't sell your product in the mid east.
See? If you want to have a cheap and profitable news organization in the mid east then antizionism / apologetics has to be your product.
So much for the free press.
