BBC Employs Members of Hamas

This might shed some light on the BBC's point of view when it comes to the Middle East:

At the request of the BBC, one of their Palestinian employees was allowed past Israeli checkpoints into Gaza so he could check with his pals to see who kidnapped journalist Alan Johnston.

The Israeli security agency Shin Bet didn't like the idea, on the grounds that the BBC employee is a member of Hamas and possibly an terrorist operative. But the Defense Ministry let him through anyway.

After consulting with his buddies, the employee reported back to the Beeb that Hamas isn't holding Johnston.

Naturally the BBC denies that they employ members of Hamas, which everyone except Jimmy Carter regards as one of the most vicious terrorist organizations in the world.

Hat tip: Sweetness & Light
