The BBC invariably interviews 'liberal' Israelis and 'moderates' who mostly say the things the BBC wants people to hear in the West. The BBC creates a totally false version of Israeli public opinion. This is an exercise in propaganda. It makes Israel appear to be something it isn't, a normal western country controlled by liberal democratic western values. Very rarely does the BBC/Guardian feature interviews with people from the Israeli settler movement and the BBC is extremely careful not to challenge or provoke the 'moderate' Israelis it does choose to interview.
