sooner or later, U guys gonna know that Israel was involved in the poisoning of this leader...

All very well on the part of the BBC to admit their bias,would be even better if they were to balance their views.Sadly the BBC still as the same agenda. Difficult to change when most BBC journalists, editors & managers are far left. For a corporation paid for by tax payers, they do a poor job in representing people's views in a fair manner. A lot of programmes on the BBC directed to islam, none to the Jewish faith and hardly any on the Christian faith. The bbc takes great care in pronouncing Arabic names, wish they did the same when speaking English.

for poisoning, your rais died from aids http://crookedtimber.org/2004/11/05/we-have-met-the-enemy-and-he-is-gay/

The many signs that it was AIDS which killed Arafat are too strong to ignore. Arafat liked having sex with young teenage boys and at least one of these must have given the old crook the AIDS virus. Soon the truth is bound to come out for all to know.

We have the same problem in the United States, with reference to bias in the news media. Even though the Columbia Broadcast System (CBS) is a public corporation (Viacom), one leading (now former) broadcaster had fake military records pertaining to National Guard Service of President George W. Bush, right before the 2004 elections in the U.S. Isn't it nice that we now have the internet, and , in particular, for the Israeli newspaper Yehdiot Aharanot for reliable news.

no wonder it stands for """" britiish bull crap""""

The only tragedy, as I see it , is that Israelis hadn't killed this murderous pedophile thirty years earlier. The world would have been a much better place if the grandfather of terrorism hadn't tought the Islamics the world over how well the terrorism pays.

If one put your mind in a bird's body, it would fly backwards. There are many Palestinians who not only admit, in their inner circle, Israel did not kill Arafat, but say among themselves: Thank god this corrupt man is not with us anymore. And by the way, as an Israeli, I am really sorry Israel didn't kill that arch-terrorist as soon as his terror campaign started on 9/2000. Lives of many Jews and non Jews would have followingly been saved.

its well known that news services like the BBC, Biased Broadcasting Corporation, CNN, the nazi news channel, PBS, The Palestinian Broadcasting Service are biased.

so they admit it, so what? admission of the truth doesn't strenghten or lessen the truth that they are biased.

''Arafat: A Fond and Tearfull Farewell to the Bum-Cruncher''

In short, the BBC sucks. The government should privatize them and fire all the useless bums that otherwise would be unemployed!

Glad you agree. I too am overseas. Watching BBC world is like watching AL JAZEERA, but in English. Britian is mentioned as a side item. BBC is very good at demoralising our troops, that makes headlines.

Blaming the mossad doesnt count...try be more creative

Yes, well we know who all these rentacrowd complainees are, there are plenty of Zionist clones around in New York and elsewhere. What is shocking but doesn't really surprise one is that the BBC takes such orchestrated e-mail protests as a reflection of public opinion. One thing is for sure: no tears (of sorrow at least) will be shed by the world's reporters when Messrs Nethanyahu, Sharon, Mofaz, Peres...make their final exit; just cheering!

If the Israelis had wanted to kill Arafat they would have done so decades ago. I know the truth hurts the members of a "culture" where homosexuality is heavily stigmatised, yet even more heavily practised, but the notorious paedophile died from AIDS. Trust the Beeb to appoint a dumb broad to that job who was -- are we amazed? -- not up to it.

Speaking as a gay man, just because you don't want the old crook, don't blame him on us. Your comment is rather like claiming that some hated European leader must have Jewish ancestry. Shame on you.

It defines the Arabs who bomb London are "terrorists" and those who blow up the Jewish kindergartens in Tel Aviv as "militants". The UK has a long history of hatred toward the Jews and it is manifested in the BBC.

Thanks Andy, watching the anal BBC world news makes me nauseous. They represent everything that is wrong Britain. Instead of pointing their fingers at everybody else's misery, why don't they ever criticize illiteracy, racial hatred, prison conditions, and the sizeable poverty in their own backyard? The BBC is nothing more than a state run media outlet run by a bunch of public sector losers armed with a GUARANTEED US$600 million monthly budget with little or no accountability! There main competitor these days is Al-Jazeera! Remainds me of the good ol' Pravda from the soviet times....

geeez...how long did they expect the old bastard to live? he was OLD! Everyone dies eventually....I'm just sorry the old bastard lived so long.

CORRUPT TO HAVE SCORES OF ARABISTS BUT NO jUDAICAists ON ITS STAFF. BRIDDLED WITH THE SILVER OF TAX PAYER MONEY BITTER AGAINST ANYTHING FOR CIVILZATION AGAINST THE TRIBAL HORDES. That sums up BBC who has fallen light years since it bouyed spirits during the Battle for Britian and other noble stands of the British Empire. It not only wants to tear down everything British it also wants to replace it with a Muslim Empire. Churchill would be rolling in his grave

Duh!

PLETT: Palestinian Loving Editorializing Tearful Terrorist. Much like Tony Blair when he referred to some plan of the E.U. (right after London bombing) as a step toward peace in "Palestine" as opposed to peace in Israel or even peace for "Israeli and Palestinian" peoples. Now "Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkies" refer to more than to the WWII Vichy French. Mitchell

AIDS and when the proof does come out they will claim it was an Israeli child that gave it to him in order to kill him. The BBC and the "palestinians" have a common trait, they can't tell the truth and they can't recognize the truth.

If he died of poison, it's because he bit his own tongue. That venomous, corrupt, foul creature is now rotting in hell, where he belongs. It's so nice not to see his drooling, sputtering visage on TV anymore.

The Beeb is (metaphorically of course, it doesn't even serve one useful purpose) nothing but a fishwrap. If you are interested in the Beeb's and the anti-Israel/-American rants of other media, you are cordially invited to join me at my Blog "Roncesvalles". At the risk of sounding corny or over the top, similar to the historical/mythical Roncesvalles, we are at a point where we have to fight for our lives against the "howling, jeering forces of bararism" (John Derbyshire in "Hesperophobia") and the self-hating traitors in our midst. http://editrixblog.blogspot.com/
