The Beeb removes one manifestation of its hostility to Israel

The BBC has changed the picture on its web page for Israel from an image of a confrontation between a Border Guard officer and a Palestinian, to that of landmark Bauhaus architecture in Tel Aviv, which has been declared a world heritage site by UNESCO (Hat Tip: Mrs. Carl).

The choice of the original photo placed on Israel's profile page was particularly stridulous compared to those used on the profile pages of other countries in the region.

Egypt's profile page carries the picture of a the Great Sphinx of Giza, Jordan's page features the rose-colored columns of Petra, those visiting Syria's page are met with the beaming faces of smiling children, and Iran's page has a picture of a mosque.
I'm so glad they don't hate us anymore... if only....
