Keeping up pressure on BBC

The BBC seems to be ignoring the constant harrassment of Gaza farmers.

Following the excellent reporting by ISM-ers in Gaza, I read about parsley farmers being shot at, even when accompanied by International aid workers. I expected to read about this on the BBC site - don't know why I thought that! I can't just shrug and let this go and resign myself to thinking "bunch of tossers at the BBC". After all, most of the UK population will hear nothing about what's going on there until a Hamas rocket hits its target and Israel pulverises Gaza once again, telling the world it's in self-defence.
For those that can't get along to BBC protests/direct actions, perhaps lots of people might like to e-mail their contact page, asking why they aren't giving coverage to this daily terrorising of an already scarred people.
Here's an ISM-er's account of being shot at while harvesting parsley:
