2 ...that day in day out shows how corrupt, biased and venal most of the rest of the world’s media really are. THAT is what the populists are really trying to shut down. This isn’t just about a few errors of editing and judgement.

Correct - it should definitely be a matter for the Israeli government - to answer for in the International Court of Justice.
