This makes me want to donate, news coverage doesn't

The notion put forward by BBC and Zionists that publicity caused by the news story surrounding the refusal to broadcast this appeal will cause as much awareness of the appeal as showing it would, after watching the video, seems ridiculous. This video makes me want to donate (I think I will), I never even considered it when watching the news coverage. Its interesting that the appeal mentions all the facts about the conflict that the BBC never seems to tell you, such as sewage problems, that you have to turn to Al Jazeera to hear about. BBC news just shows a sanitised version of the conflict.

BBC - show the appeal and show whats really going on in Gaza.

BBC did not have a problem showing appeals for donation in other conflicts but why for Gaza? Could it be to do with Zionist looby and pressure?
BBC have now lost any credibility they had around the world. They have confirmed that they are Biased Broadcasting Corporation much like the reporting on Gaza.
No spokes person from Hamas and Palestinians. No investigation into who broke the ceasefire? How many rockets did Hamas fire during ceasefire? Could Fatah members have fired to sabotage ceasefire? LIfting the blockade a condition of ceasefire? Why Israel refused aid ships and even rammed the boats?
No investigation of reports by the people of Sderot during the six months about how peaceful it had been in letters to people in Gaza contradicting the propoganda.
No report of historical context, the fact that the refugees of Gaza were the original inhabitants of Sderot and Ashkelon?
No investigation of targetted killings by Israel during the ceasefire.

its very clean isn´t it. very smooth production values, hollywood would be proud. perhaps the bbc are worried that its actually a bit soft. i say this after having seen nearly 3 weeks of the most shocking images on TV here in spain. the images went uncensored and showed the true horror of war. it is apparently illegal for broadcasters to show such images in the UK . why?

towards the end of the conflict there was a massive march in the city of granada and i was taken by the large numbers of the most respectable looking members of spanish society standing almost shoulder to shoulder with hooded anarchists

there is something very wrong in Britain

I couldn't agree more.
