That Gaza Appeal

What, precisely, is wrong with it?

And why, precisely?

    Helping Hamas is wrong. If that is where the money from the appeal will go, then it is wrong. Otherwise, it is perfectly fine.

    Well, the charities involved are largely church-based, Royal-sponsored, or both. The three commercial terrestrial newtorks have relented. The Murdoch-owned Sky sattelite network will probably have done so by Monday. Yet the BBC holds out...

    The BBC is scene in the US and in Israel as so biased against the US and Israel that, perhaps, it was thought that the BBC would be taken more seriously in such places if it did an act showing it is neutral. That is perfectly imaginable to me.

    As I have blogged here in the past, the BBC only looks pro-Palestinain (or, at least, anti-Isreali) compared to the hysterically pro-Israeli fare served up without any sort of alternative in the United States.

    Or compared to the Times, the Sunday Times, the Daily Telegraph (at least until this conflict, and still to a very large extent), the Sunday Telegraph (likewise), the Daily Mail, the Mail on Sunday (more or less), the Sun and the News of the World, collectively accounting for almost every national newspaper bought in this country.

    Now even the BBC has stopped bothering, and sided with such interests against all three main political parties, both Archbishops of the Church of England, everyone. What does anyone think that Hamas would do with, for example, blankets?
