"BBC World News broadcasts, seen in the United States on BBC World News America, didn't report on Israel's Independence day celebration but did remember the Palestinian “Nakba” which occurs at the same time and in reaction to Israel's Independence celebration.
BBC neglected to inform viewers that Ms. Habesch is a media-savvy forceful advocate for the Palestinian cause as vice president and secretary general of Caritas Jerusalem, a Catholic humanitarian organization. Ms. Habesch has also been associated with groups condemning Israel and, as a Caritas executive, she has voiced anti-Israel polemics. For example, in a 2002 trip to Spain, she falsely charged Israel with 'massacre of the Palestinian people' ( IPS-Inter Press Service, September 23, 2002). Yet Ms. Habesch has failed to speak up concerning the systematic persecution of her fellow Christian Arabs by Muslim Arabs which has caused Christians to emigrate from Muslim-dominated countries (including Palestinian areas) surrounding Israel.
...the BBC is deceptively omitting relevant facts concerning Palestinian Arab refugees and the forgotten Jewish refugees."
