This article doesn't mention the reported comments by John Lyon's (ABC global affairs editor), which are by far the most damning indictment of the ABC's reporting on Israel-Palestine:

More than 100 ABC union staff have rebuked the organisation’s managing director, David Anderson, with one of the broadcaster’s most senior journalists, global affairs editor John Lyons, saying he was embarrassed by his employer, which he said had shown pro-Israel bias and was failing to protect staff against complaints.
