Thanks to the blog called Bald Mary and the post titled "Make Love, Not War", we learn about this report by the BBC News regarding the so called "Basque Conflict".
The article is the classic yada yada yada, words that say nothing new.
But what really got under my skin is the map that they published, here you have it:
What in the world!?
Territory claimed by ETA?
Did they get that information straight from Fraga Iribarren?
What they incorrectly mark as "the territory claimed by ETA" is in fact the historic Basque provinces of Nafarroa, Lapurdi, Behenafarroa and Zuberoa.
Nafarroa, devided between Spain and France (known as Navarre to some) is as Basque as the Basques are Navarrese, one and the same.
What the BBC identifies as "Basque administrative region" is actually the Basque Autonomous Community or Euskadi, this Spanish "region" includes what at one time was known as the Navarre Maritime, the provinces of Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa.
The seven provinces coming together as one is a dream for all Basques, and the BBC is providing faulty information when it says that it is territory claimed by ETA as if those lands indicated in the map are not part of the Basque homeland.
That article by the BBC News is in fact a little piece of fascist propaganda aimed at blemishing the Basque dream for self determination.
ETA's violence is rejected by the bulk of Basque society, it is unfair that BBC News does with this map of them.
But what else can you expect from the fat cats in the main stream media, all they care about is the money they get from people interested on getting false information printed.
And by the way, a piece of advice to Sony Pony, the Basques are not involved in a Separatist Conflict, the majority of Basques have been negotiating peacefully for independence from Spain and France since the 1930's. ETA does not represent the Basques.
