I see the BBC has removed one of it's leading Middle East correspondents from Gaza - Jeremy Bowen. He had reported that he had not seen any evidence that Hamas was using Palestinians as human shields. That of course contradicts Nethanyahus assertion that they were.

Israel complained about Bowens report so they removed him.

Few spotted Bowen's own explanation, posted on Friday. When asked why he'd stopped tweeting, he replied "because I'm on holiday".

So basically

BBC : Here's the news.

Isreal : Your news is wrong

BBC : Okay sorry.


If North Korea had tried that there'd be sanctions.
 
Great article This is the Dead Land, this is Cactus Land: What if the Children Dying in Gaza were Jews?

Excerpt:

As reported by MSN, CNN reporter Diana Magnay was removed from Gaza because:

"Magnay was reporting live on the air as a group watched the Israeli bombardment of Gaza around her. After the report was over, she wrote on Twitter: ‘Israelis on hill above Sderot cheer as bombs land on #gaza; threaten to 'destroy our car if I say a word wrong.' Scum.’ CNN said in a statement Friday that Magnay was referring specifically to those who threatened her. CNN said the network and Magnay are sorry if anyone was offended. The network said Magnay has been reassigned to Moscow.”

If the people on the hill above her had been Arabs cheering on a Palestinian artillery battery hammering Jews, would Ms. Magnay have been reassigned to Moscow for calling those who threatened her ‘scum’? Unlikely.


So true...
 
I think the injustice of the situation is well-established.

Is there any hope?

I think we all understand the broad outline of a plan that could work - back to the 67 borders, stop the settlements, give the Palestinians East Jerusalem.

Can't say I see Israel having any political will for doing this, peacemakers there are considered treasonous.

Shit's gonna play on and on.
 
I'd like to be reassigned to Moscow but that's neither here nor there.

If the BDS movement continues to gain ground Israel will have to give way, I think this latest bout of fighting has proven/will prove to be a phyrric victory, a lot of people who previously weren't that bothered are starting to realise what exactly the Israeli army gets up to and what the establishment is like.
