(Haaretz) — “For me, personally, Arabs are something I can’t look at and can’t stand,” a 10th-grade girl from a high school in the central part of the country says in abominable Hebrew. “I am tremendously racist.

How Israel exerts its influence on the BBC
by Amena Saleem
In
the early hours of 12th November, around two dozen Israeli gunmen, one
disguised as a pregnant Palestinian woman, others wearing fake beards, invaded
a hospital in Hebron and gunned down a 28-year-old man.
In
a rare burst of reporting on an Israeli atrocity, the BBC ran an article on its
website headlined: “Israelis shoot dead Palestinian in Hebron hospital raid”.

It
was a straightforward headline which summed up the story. But later in the day,
