The Guardian is anti-Israel: The Guardian

Bryan Cheyette (a Zionist professor from the University of Southampton) condemns The Guardian's. anti-Israel bias and suggests that reserving 78% of Palestine for the world's Jews and 22% for Palestine's Arabs represents "evenhandedness". He also says that: "Sensationalist headlines - "Israel simply has no right to exist" - help to sell papers". Now consider this. People go into the newsagent, pick up a newspaper, look all the way through it (since the "offending article" didn't appear on the front page), then, in the unlikely event of finding an article that calls Israel's "right" to exist into question, they buy the paper rather than put it back down. Has that ever happened? And why on earth does The Guardian. give space to such nonsense?
