Israeli government compares BBC coverage to Nazi propaganda

The government of Israel has cut ties with the BBC for what it says was news coverage that competes with "the worst Nazi propaganda".

"In the guise of journalistic integrity it lends support to evil portrayals of Israel and the Jewish people which has been done before in the gravest circumstances," Mr Seaman [an Israeli government propagandist] added.
The BBC's "crime" - something surely worthy of Goebbels himself - was to run a documentary about Israel's illegal nuclear program. It's good to see that the state of Israel is so keen on maintaining a proper historical perspective on the Holocaust.

Seaman added that the government of Israel will not work with the BBC until it reports the news in a "professional and balanced manner" - i.e., until the BBC abandons critical coverage of Israel and reports only Palestinian crimes. It's also good to see that the Middle East's "only democracy" is so keen on promoting free speech and journalistic freedom as well.
