If the Arabs are shown as terrorists, better show the Israelis, too
» Posted on October 21, 2006 09:26 AM » Category: BBC

Casual anti-Israel propaganda from the BBC. This time it's two episodes of Spooks, which have Mossad agents posting as Al Qa'eda murderers.

You can just imagine the thinking behind this. As Eric Lee writes:

Previous episodes of "Spooks" have focussed on Arab terrorists, so presumably someone decided that for balance, Israelis would also have to be shown as insane, sadistic murderers.

Only fiction? We all know who was really behind 9/11 don't we?

Why give the oxygen of publicity to self-hating Jews like Rense?

Jeff Rense isn't Jewish.

A post by "Jordan" on Eric Lee's blog:

"Thank you for bringing this out in the open. I agree with all your points and was looking for an outlet to vent about this anti-semitism.

I also watched with utter disgust as:

- The "Mossad" agents deliberatly executed civilians and allied operatives in order to carry out their ruse. Obviously there never was and never will be a mission carried out by the Mossad as portrayed in this episode. This is how Muslim terrorists work, it has nothing to do with Israel It reinforces the bloodthirsty-killer jew myth that the Arab world holds so dear.

-The SAS barged into the room and killed all the immobilized "mossad" agents while they were clearly unarmed and posed no threat to anyone.

Jewish lives seldom seem to matter in the realm of international opinion, rather, how proportionate the Israeli response is to murderous Muslim terrorism are of prime importance.

-How the Israelis let their own agent disappear to Guantanamo Bay without even batting an eyelash for a hinted eternity of torment at the hands of the bloodthirsty Americans.

The Israelis have a long history of doing anything possible to retreive captives including the dubious practice of releasing hundreds if not thousands of terrorists and murderers for one or two Israelis. This would not definitely not happen and again this device serves this 2 episode series' obvious demonizing message about the bloodthirsty Israelis.

While it is true that it is fiction, it truly seems to show a strong desire by the writers to defame Israel by pinning ridiculous,sadistic and brutal practices as routine on the Jewish State.

I was not impressed..."

Spooks is just egregrious.

I'm surprised they "committed" to the extent that Arab terrorists are guilty of actual - you know - terror. Back when I last saw the show, the Arabs - once investigated - were never guilty of anything at all; and in fact Westerners were always imposing on them, because of Islamophobia, etc.

And there was one episode where an Israeli neoconservative newspaper magnate organized an assassination of UN Peacekeeper. I took this as an attack specifically on Conrad Black. But of course it managed to drag in all the US neocons as well.

Of course, for all I know, this is the actual POV of the people working inside MI5, which would explain some of their more disastrous decisions in the last two decades.

Perhaps, as in Galaxy Quest, the scripts of Spook are actual "historical documents."

So many people in the Arab/Muslim world will insist
1. 9/11 was committed by the Mossad, and yet
2. 9/11 was a great victory for the Arab/Muslim world

What a shame. I'd quite liked Spooks until now. Except they kept killing off or otherwise disposing of their best characters. Don't think I'll bother to watch any more as haven't yet viewed these recorded episodes. And the Moslem agent is unbelievable.

Spooks? Funny, I always thought the show was called 'Spoofs'.
