a State that doesn't even exist, and attributing a capital in which they do not have sovereignty. Who runs that place, the Queen of Narnia?

How can the IOC accept a "Palestinian" team when the ICJ announced that such a State does not exist? And yet, there is NO Olympic team from Tibet, Basque, Kurdistan, Tamil regions, Western Sahara, or Kashmir.

1. Classic Anti-Semites 2. "Progressive" Anti-Jewish Racists 3. 7th Century-based Islamists No wonder, the news organization of this cesspool of humanity denies the Jews' capital city. In fact, I am surprised they even mention the name Israel rather the the Zionist entity...

No surprise here really. The official Olympic website was just as bad when it went online. This just helps to illustrate how much UK society is anti-Israel and very much in love with the Arabs. UK Media, cultural institutions, educational institutions etc are all anti Israel.

They are politically correct liberal apologists. Their compass direction of what is right and wrong has been distorted by their self brainwashing.

no wonder all they had slipped through their fingers. today, the brits are being held captive by muslims... Who could ask for more?

This illustrates why European countries dislike Israel so. Europe would like to keep the Muslims happy, and wish that Israel would just disappear, and Israel is still there.

THIS IS OUR CAPITAL CITY! the fact that most embassies aren't here, but our Knesset is, and that the Palestinians as yet have no capital, BUT their parliament is in Ramallah, is sad and confusing, but the BBC should maintain its reputed impartiality. Very Naughty Auntie BBC!!!

It makes sense to say it is disputed. The BBC initially went for the classic half-way compromise, and ended up pleasing nobody.

its disgusting that i have to pay a license fee to this anti-israel organization. Shame on the BBC

Isn't BBC a corrupt lying television organization, just read the news paper in the last few years to see how they lie, cheat, and on top of it they have rotten teeth, and nothing worse then America's puddle (dog) with rotten teeth

The BBC is run by Muslims palestinians Radical Leftists and toffy brown nosed idiotic Brits.

marseille became the first major city in europe that has a majority muslim,close behind is liverpool proper,46 % , arabs comprise around 26% of the workforce at the BBC.(in last sundays THE GUARDIAN)

are still kissing the arabs ass. Just wondering how long it will be there before they realize a bomb was placed up theirs by a muslim

No correspondent from that entity should be allowed and no goverment official should have any contact with them, besides no one from the BBC should be allowed to enter Judea and Samaria, Israel is to polite with those bastards

The Brits forever gave up the right to have a say in this matter when, after violating its terms, they walked away from their Mandate to estabilsh the national home for the Jewish people in the area that is now encompased by Israel, Gaza, Yehuda, Shomron and the Hashemite Kingom of Jordan.

BBC is state run television paid for by tax payers. Therefore it reflex the opinion of British government. If this is not opionion of the gov. so it should intervene in these anti-Israel attacks.

appropriate, esp with britains hx toward the jews

... even our government isn't sure what Jerusalem "is": it's annexed; it's ours; it's a vacuum; it will never be divided; it may become the capital of an enemy state made by and/or for our peace partners... And sure as heck the Tel Aviv population doesn't consider it anything other than a token political ploy (like the settlements) and a phase that is destined to pass. Live here for five minutes, and actually think about what is going on, and then see if you're ready to judge the BBC and other foreign media.

"During its long history, Jerusalem has been destroyed twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times. The oldest part of the city was settled in the 4th millennium BCE. In 1538, walls were built around Jerusalem under Suleiman the Magnificent. Today those walls define the Old City, which has been traditionally divided into four quarters—known since the early 19th century as the Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Quarters."

Considering that Jerusalem is not even in Israel, the Brits got it right.

that's why they ignored the story about Ben Ari publicly destroying Christian Bibles. That story was kept out of the media in the West by Jews in order to protect Ben Ari and Israel from their own stupidity. If a Muslim politician had done that it would have been headlines in the West. The Jews own the media in the West People are afraid to talk about it for fear of losing their jobs. There is far more free press in Israel than in the West. Tihs is very very bad for ordinary Jews in the long run because it drives anti-Semitism to insane heights. It also comes out as anti-Israelism. Jews must solve this problem before non Jews solve it for them.

while sports-people from all countries are gathering for this great event what do the Olympics represent for Israelis ? My impression from reading Israeli media = Olympics represent a chance to agitate for official remembrance of murdered Jewish athletes and a chance to accuse the BBC of anti-Semitism for not mentioning Jerusalem as Israel's capital. That is the Olympic spirit, Israeli style.

If you want to see pure evil, look no further than the corrupt, vile, anti-semitic BBC. Honestly, the BBC could hardly be worse if the Nazi's ran it. They hate Israelis (because they hate the Jewish people, and also contemptuous of dark skinned people---well, just look at British history to see that confirmed). The tragedy is that the BBC has such an audience for their propaganda. The BBC is the reason that I don't ever visit the UK on my travels.

to the UK until they change their attitudes.

They are actually really nice people..just too tired from 200 yrs of empire to do anything. They are kind of finished as a culture, but they don't see it yet. Shame, they used to be the greatest nation in the world.
