BBC Talking Point "War On Terrorism"

Phil Toms | 05.11.2001 05:09


Discussion of the subject of Palestine does not seem to be allowed on BBC talking point "War on terrorism"

I listened twice to BBC World Service Talking Point "war on Terrorism" and was dismayed to hear questions about American support militarily economically and politically for Israeli expansion deflected and ignored blatantly and repeatedly. There is a strong case that peace in Palestine would undermine support for terrorism.This appears to be censorship, and will further inflame anger, and undermine the credibility of the BBC. The inability of the media to discuss this undermines the morality of "our" side,perhaps putting the UK at risk. They welcome feedback, here is the link to the programme.
