Good to see members of the jewish community standing up against the Israeli terror regime.. complimenti ...

The BBC's coverage has been diabolical throughout.
How about cranking up a campaign against them and the rest of the UK media.
They tell us that this is a war, they forget to mention that only one side is tooled up.
The israeli's are referred to as "forces" and the IDF ect . Palestinians are referred to as "Gunmen". The Israelis attack residential areas with high tech weapons including F16s. The Palestinians defend their homes the best they can with small arms and home made anti tank bombs.

I thought a War was waged between two armies which did battle until one side was beaten. This is not war it's genocide.

Not that bad

The BBC isn't too bad at the moment, mainly because the UK is not involved in the war. If it was, then I'm sure they'd take the British side. The shots fired at the BBC camera crew explained a lot about the Israeli mentality. As such, the BBC has, I believe, jolted a lot of mainstream opinion against Israel and forced the Zionists to go on the defensive. And there's one thing to be said about the BBC - it goes for the jugular of anyone threatening the lives of its journalists.

I think that if you are going to stand up for Palestinian rights you must stand up for Jewish rights.

We as Jews, Christians and Muslims should condem all violence and murder no matter who it is done by and who it is on.

I hate Ariel Sharon and israel's policies but Hamas are evil as well and you cannot condemn israeli violence if you do not condemn Palestian violence.

good point, innocent israelis are getting killed as well. but we have to point out this isn't anything like the numbers of palestinians killed or injured and there are factors that build up hatred... if there are whole communities forced to live in camps for decades, palestinian houses regularly bulldozed, israeli defence force prowling about with the finest weapons gb/usa can make, with settlers constantly moving in on 'your' land, people get fucked off.

the bbc can't regularly be praised but if anyone noticed - they did give a bit of air-time to one of the british protestors who had been shot!
