This week, in the UK playground area of the World Academy of Politics, a number of bigger boys have set on the spotty, bespectacled and unsporty BBC, chanting "Say it. Say Hamas terrorists".
Meanwhile, the World Academy, under Sleepy Joe, has allowed the Middle East slip deeper into a terrifying exchange of war crimes, as the tectonic plates of religion, territory and history erupt in and around Gaza.
Jeremy Bowen this week briefly referenced "The Nabka" of 1948, a word meaning 'catastrophe', when, after Britain ended its mandate in Palestine, the state of Israel was declared, and the brutal shoving and pushing of Palestinians out of their lands became a mass displacement, powered by killing and destruction.
Last night somebody sprayed the doors of the BBC with red paint, and flyposters hit the Portland stone piazza. Today a protest march ends at Broadcasting House. Everything's the BBC's fault, eh ?
Let the BBC reporters get on with reporting and explaining what's going on; and let our politicians reflect a little more on what they can do to stop this unfolding tragedy, perhaps while remembering how many former 'terrorist leaders' they've shaken hands with.
