surely you mean the democratically elected Hammas government

it is Israel which stands accused of war crimes

Israel the democracy which just banned all the Arab parties standing in the elections

Israel has suffered a strategic defeat

there has been a sea change in the world in favour of the Palestinians

The UK is allowing armaments manufactured in the UK to be sold to Israel, although is a conflict zone.

A one sided position although is in conflict with UN resolutions to remain with its agreed border of 1948.

The BBC is headed by one main who directs its policy, all staff have to bow to his edicts. The Gaza appeal, led by the Red Cross is neutral & provides aid based on need.

However, by not showing the appeal the BBC is prolonging the suffering of those in human need..

Shame.

Please explain to me how the UK is arming Israel.

And the BBC is not a human being - it's a corporation. Corporations are made up of many different individuals, who will each have their own opinions, but for the sake of their jobs, must remain neutral. It's a simple enough fact.

Simple BBC neutrality TEST!

How many BBC staff reporters were in Israel during the time of the conflict and how many were in Gaza? No excuses accepted, while it is understood the aggressors would not all reporters to cross the border, they could have gone via Egypt perhaps through one of the underground crossings.

Now ask Al Jazeera the same question. On the whole Al Jazeera reports were genuinely neutral, however, they were NOT neutral to the suffering of the civilians. They were human.

[yourcamden]

Neutral to the suffering of children while the UK is arming the invaders and killers of these children and their families in the Gaza ghetto.

It seems the Daleks have taken over the BBC with their slogan to these children "Exterminate, Exterminate!"

Message to the BBC - the children in need live in the Gaza ghetto.

Ordinary humans are not neutral to the suffering of civilians, however, the mindless BBC is.,

I will remember this lack of awareness by the BBC for the rest of my life.

[ELDL1989]

The reason they do not broadcast is because they are a politically neutral channel. You might think that this is no reason not to broadcast what is a humanitarian rather than a political cause, but in this particular case, whether you like it or not, politics are heavily tied into it, and whatever the BBC did would be controversial. Thus, I respect their decision.

2. after every war all the anti israelis screaming "war crimes"- till now no israeli convicted at any war crime.

hamas who are rocketing civil, sending suicide bombers into restaurants act.. are the real criminals.

israel is not proud at any civil got killed- the hamas are dancing in the streets

for every israeli body

[yydamti]

5.when your civil got rocketing for the last 8 years, I expect my government to react bravely and not afraid of "change in the world" of international public opinion.

Israelis are living in terror for 8 years- solve the problem!

[yydamti]

4. "strategic defeat"- so it was in lebbanon in 2006- do you see any trouble cause by hizbolla in the last 3 years?israel bombing gaza for weeks and Mr nasralla screaming and dont do anything! in the middle east thats the way stopping terror action. from time to time the israeli react for terror action by "getting crazy" and its working!

so it was in gaza and in other places that try terrorize israel.

Anless you have another solution pls write it down
