Just look how they depict the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
In the BBC world view, Gazza and the west bank are Palestine, rather than part of Egypt and Jordan.
Or reporting on Iraq, when did the BBC last run positive reports on how it's being rebuilt?

If you look back on some of the old maps you'll find that Palestine covered Israel and many of the countries on its borders.
When Palestine was broken down into today's constituent countries e.g. Israel, Syria , Jordan etc. every Palestinian had a home in one of those countries.
The problem has always been the Arab-Israeli conflict. If the Arabs left the Israelis alone and respected their borders, Israel would be free to do the same.
The difficulty now is that we are in a cycle of retaliation between the two groups and neither side is strong enough to break the cycle for fear of appearing weak.
There was uprest in that part of the world at the time when Jesus was born and the way things are going the problem will still exist in another two thousand years.
