What is Al-jabeeba?
1.
Term used by a number of conservative bloggers in the UK to refer to the BBC during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict of 2008. Combines "the beeb", the traditional slang term for the BBC, with Al-Jazeera, the Arabic news network. The implication is that the BBC (which is required to be strictly independent) is in fact biased in its coverage in favour of the Palestinian cause.
"Al-Jabeeba showed five whole minutes of footage of Palestinian victims and failed to mention the Hamas rocket attacks on Sderodt today."
