The BBC adheres to journalistic integrity unless, of course, the subject involves Israel:

The BBC apologized this week for referring to Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, and promised not to repeat “the mistake,” following a complaint by four British organizations.

Arab Media Watch, Muslim Public Affairs Committee, Friends of Al-Aksa and the Institute of Islamic Political Thought sent a joint complaint to the BBC after a presenter on its Football Focus program on March 24 mentioned that Jerusalem was Israel’s capital and “historic soul.” …

Oy, such a faux pax — except for the fact that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. There’s no shortage of anti-Semitism in the UK these days among both media and academic types.
