112 MPS request the BBC to Air the Gaza Aid Appeal.

 

The BBC’s reasons for not airing the Gaza aid appeal was, it must maintain its impartiality, but Labour MP Richard Burden said it was "unconvincing" and 20 protesters from the “Stop the War Coalition” protested at the BBC Broadcasting House.

The campaigners entered via the entrance hall of the central London building of the BBC carrying a large sign and shouting ‘hands off Gaza.’ Some managed to burn their TV licenses just before the police managed to contain them.

Sky have also refused to show the appeal, with head of Sky News, John Ryley, saying; "Our commitment as journalists is to cover all sides of that story with uncompromising objectivity."

  How can they say this...  
 John Ryley, head of Sky News, said that broadcasting the film would be "incompatible" with its objective role.

"Our commitment as journalists is to cover all sides of that story with uncompromising objectivity," he added.

This echoed BBC director general Mark Thompson's concern that the corporation should not give the impression it was "backing one side" over the other.

When no reporters were even allowed inside Gaza?

  Impartial?  
 I wasn't aware there was a debate whether the Palestinians were being starved and blockaded or not, I thought it was fact. Is there a debate about whether Palestine is under occupation as well?

The BBC is shit scared of the Jews, every time they say ANYTHING on Israel/Palestine they get mail bombed by right wing zionists from all over the world. People from countries that said program wasn't even aired in complain...

How the BBC can call the Israelis anything but racist imperialistic colonists is beyond me.

Free Palestine.

  BBC, Good Move  
 1.) There is no Palestine, and never was.
2.) Most of the indigenous 'Palestinian' people were immigrants.
3.) The *Arabs* lost the Israeli/Arab war (initiated by the Arabs) -- for the following sixty years, the displaced Arab population (Palestinians) of that region has been used by the neighbouring Arab countries as an instrument of destruction, to keep the vendetta alive.
4.) The neighbouring Arab nations have only recently moderated their stance -- throughout those sixty years, they've been belligerent and displayed outright hostility -- culminating into several armed conflicts.
5.) Israel is the underdog - (statement of fact), whereas the 'Palestinians' are nothing more than a failed pseudo-nationalistic group that was ultimately reduced to a recruitment pool for terrorist operatives -- mainly utilized by the hostile Arab countries, to throw against Israel.
6.) In those sixty years, the neighbouring Arab countries could have stepped up and supported the Palestinians in a positive manner -- financial aid and citizenship. They did not, the Western world has kept those 'Palestinians' alive all that time.

 What a load of anti-arab racist bullshit, the same excuses were given as reason for every other colonial land-grab in history but that doesn't give them one shred of validity.

The former treatment of indigenous people is a national disgrace in America, Australia, Canada, South Africa and supporters are considered backwards and racist, so what is the difference here? You cannot deny the Palestinians are refugees living in apartheid style 'reservations' and subjected daily to the indignity of security checkpoints and economic blockade.
Just give them justice and treat them as Jews would be treated.

 Anti-Arab? In that historical time period (onset of nationalism), these people identified themselves as Arabs and espoused a form of Arab Nationalism which caused the eventual conflict with the Jewish immigrants.

And the Middle-East was never fully 'colonized' by Western powers -- the Ottomon Empire conquered the land, retaining a chokehold on the region for hundreds of years. Subsequently, after the Ottomon Empire collapsed in on itself, the Western colonial powers moved in and took over the regions. With what remained of the Ottomon Empire functioning as a 'go-between' guy. The Ottomon Empire was the historical enemy of much of the Western world -- assailing Europe for hundreds of years. The Western powers were merely exacting their revenge, in addition to pursuing their self-interest.

Even under Ottomon rule, that region was historically irrelevant and possessed a marginal Arab population. The Israeli build that land and made it prosperous.

Let these so-described 'Palestinians' nationalize themselves in the neighbouring countries as full citizens. Palestine is never going to materialize, nor should it, because the land can not even support such a large population. (Western aid is what allows these people to maintain such an UNSUSTAINABLE and RECKLESS birthrate.)

It's a pipe-dream. Accept. Move on.

 WTF was that pointless spew about? If there were no people living there then why are there refugees? Do i really need to provide links showing more than 400 Palestinian villages bulldozed when Israel was created?

Just come out and say what you really think: Jews have a righteous claim on the land of Israel because they are God's chosen people. There is no other way you can justify imprisoning an entire population and ethnically cleansing their land.

How could you possibly think Jewish immigrants are more deserving of land than the people who have been living there for millenia?!?!?!

Even if you are correct about Palestine not being a historical state and its people not humans deserving rights, that still doesn't justify Israel moving in.

If America pulled support for Israel you guys won't be able to run to the negotiating table fast enough, you know thats the only factor supporting this atrocity.

 By your own logic you must be saying that Hitler was in the OK to annex Poland because Poles apparently have no rights to their own lands when it comes to a larger and more powerful nation. The more powerful people come first right???

This attitude you have makes me want to vomit. Its people like you that have come up with excuses to massacre millions of people across the globe for centuries.

There is no excuse for what Israel has done. The only people suffering are poor arabs that have lived their for the last 1600 years. But apparently in the grand scheme of things, Israelis who have only lived their the last 60-80 years somehow deserve this land more. Maybe because they are Jewish or maybe their skin is lighter? Those are usually common reasons to exterminate a people. Whats is your reason???

  America can’t possibly...  
 Pull support unless the majority of the Jewish race wants this to end.
Here is some of the Jewish race wanting an end to this carnage.

  Reading Comprehension 101  
 Slavefortheman, your duplicitous and ludicrous corollaries do not hail from my line of reasoning. The Palestinian national consciousness is a fictitious construct, designed for ideological purposes and is meant to perpetuate a conflict between Israeli and Arabs alike.

These 'poor arabs' attempted to exterminate the Jewish settlers at numerous occasions, eventually leading up to the Arab/Israeli war. The zionists had no other choice but to viciously retaliate in order to secure their holdings and protect their people, if the holocaust was any indication of what was about to happen. The zionists were traumatized by the gruesome events that transpired in Europe and around the world, the Arabs should never have attacked them.

Arab hubris (Pan-arabism) has caused this conflict, and what ultimately perpetuates the ongoing hostilities.

The region referred to as 'Palestine' would have ended up as part of either Syria, Jordan, Egypt or Lebanon, it was never a well-defined national entity, like Poland was.

lachs, your hysterics, while amusing, only underscore your inability to comprehend my arguments in a proper fashion. My matter-of-fact statements do not belie any hidden zionist agenda or eschatological motivation. The zionists prevailed over the arabs, in what could very well have been yet another genocidal onslaught on their people.

Your fundamental problem would be Hollywood underdog syndrome.

The Palestinian problem isn't something for Israel to solve, it's something that the Arab neighbours need to take responsibility for. There are 10 million individuals that identify themselves as 'Palestinians' in this world. Do you honestly think that the Gaza strip and the West Bank could possibly accommodate all of those people? And more importantly, do you honestly think that all of Israel will simply pack up shop and move in order to appease your supremacist/guilt tendencies, concerning an issue that you're not even remotely attached to?

-
Our ever courteous Isuzu with his irrelevant hyperlink graffiti, always a treat. The man in question espouses the views of a Western liberal caricature: self-loathing, estranged from reality & history, intellectually effete and a moral/cultural relativist.

The man is too obtuse to realize that he should be ashamed of himself.

---

None of you come up with practical solutions, or even manage to touch the ground in your views on this ongoing conflict.

It's a historical conflict, not between the Israeli and Palestinians, but between the Israeli and ARABS. The palestinians are cannon fodder, they were treated as subhuman scum by the Jordanians, Lebanese, Syrians, Egyptians, etc.

Israel is incapable of remedying this situation, nor is it obligated to do so. The solution should come from the Arab world, that is to this day clamoring for Jewish blood.

 I'm sorry i missed where you justified Zionism...? You keep bashing the Arabs but still haven't justified displacing the Palestinians in the first place. Let alone continuing to steal their land.

You cannot lump all Arabs into the same group and collectively punish the Palestinans for their neighbors indiscretions based on their shared race and culture THAT IS RACIST. You simply discount them as being anything but evil Arabs who have no right to be in their own land or oppose their incarceration.

You don't rebut anyone's arguments you simply insult them as stupid, and your only arguments consist of reminding people who won the ME wars...

If you doubt the Zionist's motives just pick up a Talmud and flick through the thousands of blatantly racist passages on the treatment of gentiles:

http://www.youdebate.com/
there are literally millions of other links just google talmud racism.
This underlying racism is the fuel for a lot of the zionist wars fought in the ME, zionists simply see themselves as superior and righteous. How can you possibly defend that racist Nazi occupation shit?
