I believe we must be impartial. We must be biased towards the suffering, the oppressed and hurting people, whoever they are, where-ever they are and whatever they believe.

If we are not biased towards the downtrodden we are losing our integrity and compassion as human beings.

In this instance the people in Gaza need our help. Next year it may be the Israelies.

We must help those who need help now if it means showing bias towards the marginalised and oppressed so be it.

The BBC has refused to run the DEC appeal for Gaza due to concerns about impartiality.

Why wasn't the BBC concerned about "impartiality" when they ran this appeal?

[geo1671]

Had 5 star ratings? Idiots!. Bliar-Bush- Corperstion.Since 2004 Blair kicked out all Goyim and put Jews in place.

Don't give me crap-Mark Thompson is not connected to zionism--his wife is a FKN Jew. Oh! them Jews don't feel a bit sorry for the Palestines. In UK you have to pay for a license to watch Bull Bull Crap:^(

with one hands western consumers are giving money to help is an emergency after millions have died and with the other they are causing the war by buy DVD players mobile phones computers and a very longlist of other items and products that these resources end up in. what is the sense of that? are we living in a lewis carol story? if i wanted to live in an insane asylum i would have stayed in the hospital.
