Please watch this video clip where Tony Benn shames the BBC for not appealing for Aid for Palestine:

Tony Benn puts so many of our own Muslim leaders to shame. His determination in always speaking up for Palestine is truly inspirational. May Allah reward him and open his heart to embrace Islam before he dies. Ameen
The BBC is thought of as the benchmark for accuracy and impartiality by the public. I always wonder why, because its bias and propoganda are so very obvious to me and you can see them trying so hard to maintain this facade. They “try” to present both views but skew so much towards the zionists and make out the Israelis are suffering intolerably. It was stomach-churning to see Anne Robinson cut off the Sikh guy mid-sentence as he was recounting what horrors and war crimes the Gazans were enduring, to tell a sob story about a friend of hers whose young adult reservist son and daughter had been called up and how this was so heart-breaking. Well in the whole conflict only ten Israelis dies - 10 soldiers and out of the three civilians, at least two if not all were Arab Israelis - construction workers near the “border”. All Andrew Marr could do was nod and commiserate with her about her poor friend’s poor grown-up children (who in reality would probably be armed to the hilt and most likely wouldn’t even suffer a scratch - that is if they did somehow see combat). Well, it was 2 against one and the Sikh guy was forced to shut up as they moved onto the next story in the papers without further ado, with the lingering message sent out to the viewers about how terrible it is for the Israelis to send their brave sons and daughters to face the savages. (Phew! Rant over)
Inshallah, the BBC will be shamed into airing the appeal especially since the other channels (ITV, Channel 4 and Five) have now agreed to show it but if the BBC also agree then it would ensure MILLIONS of pounds going to Gaza!
