I've just heard on the 12 noon news (Radio NZ) that it's Holocaust Remembrance Day. A man from the BBC tells us that in Poland, twenty Holocaust survivors gathered to "remember." One of them, a 94 year old woman, says that "she is reminded of those days every time she hears people shouting Death to the Jews on protests against Israel."
Remarkable journalism from the BBC, as compelling as their stories about "thirty beheaded babies" and "terrorists under the hospitals."
"I would also like to thank the BBC just for being the BBC: more than ever, it is a privilege to work for a news organisation which is sincerely and wholly committed to trying to understand and explain the world in an unbiased way." (page 5)
"The BBC is---probably---the finest news organisation in the world." (page 456)
