Judging by the lack of comments on your forum, it doesn't look as though Moslems are taking your concerns seriously. I'm not surprised personally. Journalists like John Ware have become mainstream - the public believe him to be a true and fair reporter. He tells it how its is when the suicide bombers and their fans run wild in palestine, Ware reports it how it is and that's how it should be!
I particularly found the MCB-panorma one insightful. He did a good job, it showed who MCB were really loyal to - extremists and suicide bombers!

So stop your belly-aching and moaning, cos i for one look forward to the program!

WHAT is wrong with us? The only person who can be bothered to take notice of this alert is a ZIONIST!!! Please please please WAKE UP brothers and sisters and respond to this alert. Unless that is you're happy with the way Muslims are show in the media?

The BBC programme came on late and to be honest, no-one really saw it, which explains the lack of comments. Plus, the Jewish lobby has been silenced as it was forced to pay out money to Interpal for it's libellous claims. As regards Interpal, the best way to support the organisation is to support it financially, which is something that all Muslims should be encouraged to do. The more that the Jewish lobby complains about it, the more money you should give it.

Yes if he “rocks” so when are the real free press going to make a program about the “child care experts” like Sadowoski or how this country is being lied to every day by the bliar broadcasting company. Yes let’s make more programs about how israelis go round the world with OUR passports & commit mass murder & child rape (gary glitter anyone?)
They have no understanding of loyalty, no-wonder this channel is a worldwide joke, it puts its own reporters in place at the cost of fact & loyalty. The mouthpiece of israel at this moment is some called “baker”, he has an English accent, so where is his loyalty now then? israelis who live here regularly “work” in the idf (international defecation fanatics), so when are these 5th columnists going to be prosecuted for war crimes & funding terrorism??

I wouldn't be surprised if this John Ware bloke is getting money from the likes of Daniel Pipes and his mates to demonise Islam.
He said he was part of the new cold war to MAB at the march in London.
The programme itself says more about the sellouts and self hating muslims than it says about anything else. They will all be interviewed for this programme and will all say what this zionist wants them to. You never see such rank stupidity in any other community but ours!

The lack of comments on this forum simply is because MPACUK have suddenly and without announcement changed their blog layout and many regular bloggers like me are still getting used to its new look.
John Ware is trying to score cheap points by kissing Zionist a***--something that Tony Blair and George Bush are not unknown to do...
What Ware is doing at the British tax-payers' expense is condemnable because Interpal is a secular charity which has no "Islamic" entrappings to it unlike other Muslim charities. Also because former Home Secretary David Blunkett, British Attorney-General Lord Goldsmith and their American friend Attorney-General Ashcroft have tried and failed to indict Interpal for any links with violence. When Israel murders 2-3 Palestinian children every day, it does not nake any news. When a suicide-bomber sacrifices his life to avenge Israeli murders all the loyal subjects of Israel like Bush, Blair and their cronies run and prostrate themselves before the Zionists masters

Can some one please post the Time and Date of Transmission? it is needed when making a complaint... also did anyone see the program? was it really one sided? Please share your knowledge.. Thanks

As a NON-zionist Jew, I can only weep at the reporting that is being made against our Bretheren.

Palestinians have for as long as history marks, been living in the area, with no problems with us.

These LEGALIZED ZIONIST TERRORISTS are using (abusing) there postitions to play a sick and dirty game, that most of the followers of 'Judaisim' are seeing straight through.

We are not all the same let us squeeze this parasite out of our existence!
Shalom!

Well said Mr Wyner, they have abused & distorted your REAL religion far too long!!
May you & the fellow Jews post here more often to show the world what this thing called israel really is.

Asalamulaykum, Peace be Upon you.
I greet everyone with Islamic greeting!
I cant believe that such a highly profiled T.V channel would allow someone like John Ware to make a documentary on charitable organisation such as Interpal who help out the people of Palestine with Humaniterian Aid, especially given the fact that he is a Pro-Zionist and Islamaphobic. what happened to unbias approach to media?! I am deeply concerned that decision to do so is an act of propaganda against a charity organisation who are FREE of political motivation!

Ware certainly tells it as it is, and the criticism he gets on these forums shows why we will have plenty more bombings here in the UK.

I have made a complaint on the website, lets hope this time I get a response

I have also made a complaint. Can't wait for the response! :)

To "John Ware rocks" What drugs exactly are you on, and are you aware of what a sad, pathetic, indoctrinated fool you sound like? Obviously you are so far up jon's backside that you are too stupid to see what is really going on. Get your facts straight before you mindlessly follow the twisted opinions of others mate. yours disgustedly...

I just made a complaint. If anyone else wants to use my complaint as a template, feel free.

-----------------

Dear BBC,

I have come to hear that BBC's Panorama is doing a documentary on Palestine and the charity Interpal. While I have no problem with this, why is John Ware, a notorious Islamophobe and pro-Israeli journalist, being asked to do this?

Surely as a public corporation funded, partly by my money and the money of others of different ideologies, we would expect a level of impartial coverage. How can John Ware, considering his track record deliver such fair coverage?

I hereby request that John Ware, in the interest of impartiality, not be allowed to do any documentaries regarding Muslims.

I look forward to your reply. Please do me the courtesy of not sending a automated reply, and could I also have a reference number for this complaint.

Thank you

Have made a complaint and asked for a reference number. I ask all of you to come together and support what mpacuk are asking of you.

John Ware, how arrogant is he to attack a 'charity' that has been established for years in supporting the Palestinian people. I also do not understand why people let him interview them, how can anyone expect un biased coverage when for example, a BNP (dog) interviews a south Asian or dark skinned person or the likes of John Ware interviewing people from the muslim faith (especially if he or she is a Palestinian). I am going to write to our local news paper which has a socialist comment sector, exposing the ugly face of John Ware. Although i am not a Muslim, i found the documentary to be very divisive, biased and a joke (his formal posh accent in the documentary gives the image he knows what he is talking about, i cant believe the things he came out with, a college student could have done a better job, talk about the quality of his research.

Unfortunately Mr. Wyner, through I assume ignorance, continues the propogation that inter-communal relations in Palestine were rosy until the advent of Zionism. This portrayal is merely a continuance of Jewish attempts in the 19th century to embarrass Christian Europe. Unfortunately they are untrue.
Mr. Wyner is evidently ignorant of the extent to which the ruling feudal class preyed upon the fellahin through exploitation and the non-Muslim communities by extracting from them a wide range of taxes and duties without any regard to their capacity to pay. He is also ignorant of the 1840's Beisan / Beit Shean massacres which caused the entire Jewish population to flee to other parts of the Ottoman Empire. The Sultan prevented the Haouranis / Palestinians taking over by bringing in Circassians as settlers. He is ignorant of the fact that the Ashkenazi Jewish community were driven out in response to their inability to pay Jizya in the late 18th century, and their community property destroyed by the mob. Until the 1860's non-Muslims did not enjoy equal rights as Muslims, and were denied equal protection in law, this made them very vulnerable.
There is enough self-deception occurring in this debate without it being augmented.
Mr. Wyner is correct insofar as on a day to day basis Jews, Christians and Muslims maintained neighbourly relations, and in many cases these were quite cordial. However the same could be said of Germany, Russia, Poland etc, but that did not prevent outbreaks of severe violence. The ease at which so-called anti-Zionist violence in Jerusalem and Hebron was directed at indigenous religious Jews undermines the claims that the relations were inherently positive towards non-Zionist Jews in the '20's & '30's. However had it not been for the encouragement and direction of Amin El-Husseini it is unlikely that these severe outbreaks of violence would have occurred.

when are they planning to air the programme?

Such programmes that portray misconceptions should not be aired. This just creates and increases enmity between people of different faiths in society. Such programmes also increase Islamophobic attitudes for which there is no relevance, if non-Muslims were given the opportunity to see for themselves what Islam is about.

Bias reports are insignificant and not to mention inaccurate; those who feel John Ware is a good reporter are highly deluded and need to see the bigger and more of a real picture. We hear about suicide bombers, but how many times do we hear about the Zionist who have killed children?
I am taking this report from an Arab news channel but from our own British television, two years ago a British journalist had gone into Jerusalem and spoke to an Israeli man who had killed a Palestinian toddler and had admitted to it.
So if John ware stops concentrating on one side of the story and brings the full reality to the British viewers, only then should he be permitted to do such a documentary.

I don’t want BBC to show Bias and imprecise news that portrays Muslims badly, time and time again.

i have made a complaint to the bbc, in john wares previous documentary i was interviewed but he did not show my interview on the final cut, probably because i mentioned Israel and its rascist policies along with challenging him on other things. At the time i did not know much about him but as soon as he turned the camera on me i realised his agenda.

Khadija Tul-Kubra,
Unless the misconceptions are brought to the fore they cannot be challenged. If they are suppressed, they remain and are validated through conspiracy theories etc.
Many contributors to this site hold misconceptions about many issues, but only when they are aired may they be challenged. If debates were to be suppressed for fear that misconceptions may be aired, then all debate would end.
By the way, Christians believe that Islam is a misconception and that the teachings of Jesus / Isa are the latest expression of God / Allah, superceding Mosaic law. As UK is a Christian country does this mean Islam should be suppressed?

What's this intent to defend all Muslim groups from the media, come what may? But MPACUK will still be attacking the individuals and groups it doesn't like! Let's face it, most British Muslim groups are easy pickings because they are just so awful at PR. I'm shocked so many Muslims read stuff like this and think it's great, when any PR dolt would instantly call it hysterical and high handed. British Muslim political activism has got plenty of verve, and that's great, but it is still extraordinarily adolescent in its tone and attitude.

I would like to say that muslims are already suffering from islamaphobia. A programme on interpal charity should not be biased. There should not be a hidden agenda behind the programme. I beleive that John ware is not a suitable candidate for the documentary. He has certain prejudicial views and if they are reflected in the documentary may cause further problems to the muslim community and the BBC. Plese do not allow a programme which aims to make a charity that is helping the Palestinians to be regarded as a terrorist organisation.

Excuse me "John Ware rocks" your blind!

Being mainstream does not mean your right. On what basis are you saying "Moslems are not taking your concerns seriously"? By sitting down and counting how many comments "Moslems" have made here? If yes then I'm sorry you're in a very sorry state!

A little piece of advise: stop making you decisions on petty things...

with "jounalists like John Ware" you see what they show you, but if you were wise, trust me, you would go out there and see for yourself what they don't show you!

...then come to a conclusion

and then come and talk to me...

BE WISE!

I personally think let John do what he wants. The best way foward is to get somebody out there and openly challenge him and prove him wrong, pick the flaws out of his research etc..

Wassalam

u should not show the if u want a up roar like the cartoons did then show it but dont say i never told u why is it u have to all ways take things out of the muslims are u lot 100% good first check ur self b4 u start picking on people

we can't fight BBc in this way, we have to do what ''comedy central'' STEPHEN COLBERT did to GW Bush, or what he done to Bill Kristol(Neo con) even though media totally ignored this amazing thing happens in USA but the news and Video was kept alive by Blogs and you tube.com(most watched Video) or ifilm etc

watch what JON STEWART did to the CNN tucker carlson his program(CROSSFIRE) was taken off the air . We have to learn quick and use internet and keep the pressure up on BBc.

Brother Ismail Adam. I only understood the last part of what you said. I don't know exactly who you are addressing.

Remember brother we will never be a "100% good". Does that mean we never do anything?

The point you want to make is what are we doing to better ourselves. Are we on a stand still, or are we moving?

Bettering ourselves is not the only thing we should be doing...

Refer to the life (Seerah) of Prophet Muhammed (s.a.w) to find the real way foward...

Wassalamu Alaikum

I AM MUSLIM AND NOT A TERRORIST.
WE HAVE CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO ARE EXTREME IN THERE BELEIF BUT WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT WHY IS IT THE PROGARAME PORTRATEING WE ARE ONLY HEAR TO SPREAD ISLAM WITH VIOLENCE.
TAKE AN EXAMPLE ISRAEL IS OCCUPING THE PALESTININE LAND WHAT IS REST OF THE WORLD DOING.
IS JOHN WARE A ZIONIST?

my letter.....

.............

Dear Sir/Madam
I have stumbled upon some news that a documentary regarding Muslims, and Interpal is going to be broadcasted in one of your Panorama series. I have decided to take this as an opportunity to question your motive, and choice of journalist (John Ware).
I am disgusted to discover a documentary is being created at the British Tax-payers expenses, which I am myself. I am made to feel offended, that as a British Muslim I am funding a program that is over looking the truth about Islam/Muslims, and Interpal. I have seen a clip of the documentary, which deeply sickens me to sit and watch, a well-known, respected company to prepare such a bias, and a prejudiced documentary. Due to this I hope you are aware of your companies needs of loyalty, credibility, and reputation, which will be damaged after the broadcast of such filth.
I also urge you to reflect over your own company policy such as: your commitment to a “more inclusive society”, which you are over looking by producing this documentary. I hope my comments haven’t offended you as much as acknowledging this production has done to me.
Your series of Panorama is usually a pleasure to watch, I hold no grudges against such a topic, but it distresses me to know that John Ware a Islamophobical journalist is given such a task; where it is obvious that he will take full, and funded advantages to condemn Islam and Muslims altogether.
My argument is based around the similar circumstance that turns the tables of ‘finger pointing’ Muslims have today. In the 1970’s when England was bombed by the IRA nobody created documentaries based on Christians being terrorist like Muslims have in your documentary.
I hope that you see to my complaint, and give me the courtesy of keeping me up to date with this situation.
Thank you for considering my letter.
Yours faithfully

my dad actually works as one of the managers in BBC Bristol, i will urge him to do what evers in his power to help us out...

Why is the word Zionist used in a most horrid way?


"The Zionist movement, which emerged in Europe in the last two decades of the nineteenth century, aimed at the national revival of the Jewish people in its ancestral home after nearly two thousand years of exile. The term 'Zionism' was coined in 1885 by the Viennese Jewish writer Nathan Birnbaum, Zion being one of the biblical names for Jerusalem. Zionism was in essence an answer to the Jewish problem that derived from two basic facts: the Jews were dispersed in various countries around the world, and in each country they constituted a minority. The Zionist solution was to end this anomalous existence and dependence on others, to return to Zion, and to attain majority status there and, ultimately, political independence and statehoo

Dear "John Ware Rock's" i have only 1 thing to say to you. If you knew anything about ISLAM you would be MUSLIM! Anyhow I have sent my Complaint and will make sure others do too. much to the despair of 'JOHN Ware' and those that think he 'ROCK'S'

Apologies for the absence but the Torch is back. Well short and simple I have sent an email to the wondeful "Nobodies" at the BBC but yet received no reply and I have also forwarded this article to those who don't visit MPACUK Inshallah they will visit and also Air their disgust or shall I say their COMPLAINT to the BBC. Sometimes I wonder is the BBC run by OOMPAH LOOMPAH's mmmm.

Dear Sirs
I was shocked to hear that you have commissioned the Islamaphobe, pro Israeli journalist John Ware to produce yet another documentary on muslims, only this time on Palestine.

John Ware's appalling 'programme' on muslim organisations broadcast on 21st Aug 05 clearly shows that this a very biased individual. He presented as unchallenged fact, the wild statements of anti muslim bigots. His vilification of palestinians was shameful.

In the programme he allowed people to baldly declare that muslims 'have no concept of secular demcracy'. He further broadcast that Islam was a 'supremacist' concept, invoking all the imagery of the far right. He invokes images of the July 7th bombers as having 'no connection with the middle east other than islam'.

All of these are laughable and purile assertions. Any cursory examination of history would have shown him that people organise politically around anything that unites them when they perceive oppression. For decades, workers have expressed solidarity across international boundaries. Remember the anti-vietnam war marches and riots?
Far from Islam being supremacist, he should again study his history. It was the first official state religion that GUARANTEED freedom of worship. A cursory glance at modern history would tell him that the modern islamists are a reaction to violent oppression in their countries. In Algeria , they were violently oppressed by a French inspired coup after easily winning free elections. The slaughter and ethnic cleansing of muslims in Bosnia spawned its own response. The denial of democracy by western backed dictators in Saudi, Egypt, Jordan etc. creates its own problems. The assault by the most powerful nation ever, (USA) on the world's poorest and most bereft, (Afganistan) seems surreal to most ordinary people. The flagrant occupation and ethnic cleaning of Palestine shows convoluted logic from Zionist apologists that would make a contortionist wince. Zionism indeed is self eveidently supremacist as it guarantees Jewish supremacy over the indigenous people of palestine. Zionism is indeed racist, it enshrines a 'right of return' to people who have never been to palestine, but denies refugees' returning rights which are enshrined in international law etc etc.

What I object most to however, as a Briton and a father, is John Ware's attempt to turn British citizens against each other. Therefore, using OUR money to fund John Ware's poisonous diatribes with their 'subliminal' subtext of 'muslims are the enemy within', strikes one as a gross misuse of taxpayers money and abuse of the BBC's Charter.
Perhaps you would like to reconsider commisioning such work.

You know what, the way Islam has taken over the world and peoples minds has really got me thinking. I mean those that don't know much about Islam should take this as a knock on the door, that will teach them more about what Islam is. and I also Think, as Muslims, we should quit being apologetic for the actions of others. I mean why should i say 'Sorry' for 7/7 or 9/11? did I blow myself up? Think people Think.

John Ware's appalling 'programme' on muslim organisations broadcast on 21st Aug 05 clearly shows that this a very biased individual. He presented as unchallenged fact, the wild statements of anti muslim bigots. His vilification of palestinians was shameful. Considering the BBC is funded by your license fee, the least ANYONE (Muslim or not) can expect is that their work be impartial and fair. How is this fairness to be expected from a person who has previously made capital from a documentary with little substance and a lot of scary music! Furthermore considering they are a The Panorama team should reconsider their choice of journalist for a documentary on Interpal and that the programme show the true work of Interpal in Palestine and the suffering and oppression of the Palestinian people. Surely a journalist such as John Ware, who is notorious as a pro-Israeli Islamophobe, cannot be expected to cover this subject with the 'accuracy and impartiality' to which the BBC are bound by the Royal Charter, or to fulfill the BBC's commitment to contribute to 'a more inclusive society' (BBC: Building Public Value document). Allowing Ware to abuse his position in the BBC to pursue an Islamophobic witch-hunt at the license-fee payer's expense will destroy Panorama's credibility and good name and shatter Muslim confidence in the BBC. Here is a summary of John Ware's Islamophobia: John Ware's documentary on another Muslim pro-Palestinian organisation the Muslim Council of Britain was widely condemned for John Ware's Islamophobic, pro-Israel bias and received over 600 complaints. John Ware's bias is evidenced by the great praise heaped upon him from individuals and groups renowned for their pro-Israeli, Islamophobic positions, such as Daniel Pipes and Harry's Place. I think in this day and age it is very important for the media to take responsibility in choosing reporters who will give a more fair and just report on events rather than such a biased view as this will impact many accross the nation and world to believe they are victims who are being de-faced and humiliated publically and are not able to do anything about this, this will only lead to them feeling excluded and helpless and we are all part of the nation..we are all British no matter what our relgious beliefs ...once again someone who knows so little about Islam is out there to spread more islamaphobia...why my religion...why ? all we ask for is abit of respect...is that too much to ask for? i feel really sad at the current state of affairs and would like to know what the BBC will be doing about all these complaints which are very valid...please do not ignore these cry's for help as the problems may end up getting worse and the BBC will have played a big role in making it worse! Please Help!

FurBy - despite your supposed family links with the BBC, so you are obviously unaware that the BBC is not funded by the British tax payer.

I have tried my best to get this journalist known to my local community in Bradford. I've spoken to mousque commitee members to let the news be known at the mousque to all brothers and sisters that attend so they can all ring the BBC and complain about John Ware.

Inshallah the the people of the mousque will very soon air their disgust at this biased journalist who wishes to tarnish the name of muslims.

Yes the "bbc is not publically funded", then where does the money come from "abdul", thein air??!
I know from fake victims that sue blameless people & claim they come from the Middle East.

remember YOU ELECT THEM so they have to atleast listen. NOTE: Make sure that you write to your local MP as they will not take you seriously unless you are (find your local mp on the site)

i hope you all pay for the bbc there seems to be some that think this is not public money and when one considers 30 million adults here pay the muslims are a minority and programmes are not decided on what you like or don't,
Panorama and john ware gave a good view on islams little faces both of them, it woke many people up in this country.
i also look forward to it's showing and others can also make demands not only muslims remember that!

I feel so angry when false accusations like this are levelled against Interpal. I work for Interpal and I am in a position to know what the organisation spends its money on. I would say the majority of the money people donate goes on orphan sponsorship. The rest goes on general aid and administration costs. Spending procedures are tightly watched and money is always accounted for.

The panorama investigation stems from the decision by the U.S. goverment to blacklist the charity. People have to understand, however, that the United States describes most Palestinian charities as 'terrorist' due to the government's strong pro-Israeli bias. Therefore, accusations like this have to be taken with a pinch of salt.

I don't know exactly what 'evidence' John Ware may find since there isn't any but I suspect his whole programme will be based on interviews with pro-Israelis (who generally want to see all Palestinian charities closed).

People have to stand up to defend Interpal not only because it is one of the biggest British-based charties dedicated to easing the suffering of Palestinians, but these accusations will also spread to any other Palestinian charities if Zionists are ever successful in closing down Interpal.

jordan, loganwhat, nobodyon, israel who??

The world sse what you for what you are, first ther was zionism, then hitler, zionism is still here ready to invent more things like fascism, but not for much longer as this country will have a choice either zionism & face a backlash that the West has never seen or hand them over. Yes blame the Muslims linda whatever, we White Brits know who & what is wrong, it is you.
The bbc is largely ignored so see what it really is a White hating organisation that has had its day. The world sees this as the puppet moutpiece of israel??

Julaybib Ayoub is exactly right. Mpac needs to come across as less hysterical and reactionary (not necessarily talking about this issue but in general). The reactions this site generates often reinforce the negative stereotypes that Muslims face. Its constant references to Zionist conspiracies and the like plus almost encouraging the victim mentality that many Muslims have make Mpac easy to dismiss. Mpac needs to come across as more nuanced and with a lot more constructive critcism for Muslims. Ms Ayoub's advice should be followed, this site needs to hire someone with genuine PR skills. I say this as a Muslim that wants to see Mpac realise its potential with intelligent influential ideas.
Also, this screen moving up and down thing is really annoying. Is the site or my comp? If its the site you really need to sort it out.

I would urge MPACUK's and Interpal's supporters to write to the BBC about this upcoming programme on Interpal, and urge all their family and friends to do so too.

Interpal is stepping up its aid package to Palestine because of the current crisis. Have the majority of the Palestinians not suffered enough? Do you know what it is like when hospitals lose their electricity and water supply in the height of summer? When babies have little nourishment because there is a shortage of formula milk and their mothers are too dehydrated and too anaemic to produce sufficient milk? Tell that to the BBC, John Ware and your MP.

In the light of current findings that the BBC has been carrying imbalanced reporting against Palestinians, the BBC should concentrate on showing the noble efforts of NGOs such as Interpal in working extremely hard to continue their delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestine despite the many, many obstacles they face; not contribute to the collective punishment of the Palestinian people by repeating stale and tired allegations which have already been successfully challenged.

I wrote to the BBC on 16/05/06.

And this is my reply back to them;

Sir
Thank you for your reply, eventually. The emphasis is I am a TV license holder, John Ware has a track record for displaying unfairness and twisting or distorted the truth to suit him and tends to colour up his reports.
I have noted with interest with what you have siad in your email. And I can see that the BBC have no real interest with the views of the Muslims that live in Britain. As it quite clear that you have stated once the programme has been aired, if I have complaint then to get in touch with you.
I sense this a standard response, and it would be interesting to learn how many others share my view of this person.
If the programme is of bad taste or represents an unbalanced view or is unfair in its weight when viewed I will complain and put forward a motion that all Muslims refuse to pay any fees to a broadcast company who promotes anti-Islamism in its documentaries.

Technically I am not happy with what the BBC is broadcasting, the negativity portrayal of Muslims.

So brothers and sisters you decide if the BBC are really paying any interest to what we say.....more of us should apply the pressure. The zionists are now feeling a pinch.

To this, I replied:

Dear Mr. Carberry,

Thank you very much for your reply.

You give the impression of being objective, and I appreciate that. However,
I do not share your view that Mr. Ware is an impartial journalist.

Perhaps, you may wish to consider, as a subject of a future Panorama, the
following topic (and why not get Mr. Ware to present it too)?

BRITISH SUBJECTS WITH DUAL NATIONALITY: Should they serve in foreign armed
forces?

For instance, how many individuals with dual British/Israeli nationality
have served in the IDF? How many have participated in the various incursions
into Gaza/West Bank/Lebanon? Have any of them actually killed any
Palestinian civillians?

Should British subjects be allowed only to serve in the British armed
forces?

I would be very grateful for your response to the above.

Thank you in advance.

The portrayal of the BBC as independent and impartial public broadcaster is sadly misleading. The BBC is a global instrument of Zionist propaganda. In addition to defending Israel’s terrorism and the illegal occupation of Palestinian land, the BBC is an active complicit in Zionism war crimes throughout the Middle East.

A study by Greg Philo and Mike Berry of the Glasgow University Media Unit in Scotland reveals that the British media, including the BBC denying the public an opportunity to understand the rights of the Palestinian people resistance to Israel’s terror and Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. As a result of the BBC Zionist propaganda, the British public remain confused and unable to differentiate between the gross violence of the oppressors (the Israelis) and the retaliatory self-defence of the oppressed (the Palestinians). It is sad that the majority of the British public are unaware of the fact that since 1967 Palestinians are under illegal Israeli military occupation; the longest and most brutal in modern history. The so-called Palestinian “authority” is a myth created by Israel and the U.S. to manipulate public opinion and cover-up Israel’s crimes.

With its veneer of English sophistication and global audience, the BBC is a formidable propaganda instrument. Just after the Israeli army murdered an entire family (the Ghalia’s family) and wounded many more Palestinians while picnicking on a northern Gaza beach, the BBC was the first Western media to defend Israel and volunteered to cover-up Israel’s crimes. The BBC went along to unchallenged the Israeli lies, and happily repeated the Israeli army (Israeli occupation forces [IOF]) claims that Israel is an innocent bystander. The BBC version was that; “Israel is not responsible for a blast that killed an entire Palestinian family enjoying a picnic on a Gaza beach last Friday, Defence Minister Amir Peretz says”. The BBC deliberately ignored hard evidence – Palestinian eyewitnesses, hospital records, the U.S.-based Human Right Watch (HRW) and even Israelis – that refuted the Israeli military version of events.

The Nazareth-based British writer and journalist, Jonathan Cook wrote that the BBC “credulously reports preposterous arguments seeking to exonerate the Israeli army of responsibility for the shelling of the beach in Gaza that killed a Palestinian family of seven. It treats as equally credible the army's belated version in which Palestinian militants are said to have laid a single mine at a favourite seaside picnic spot in the futile hope of preventing the Israeli navy landing along the [Gaza] Strip's miles of coastline”. It follows, that the BBC is complicit in Israel’s crimes cover-up against the Palestinian people, and this is not an isolated incident.

The BBC has a history of defending Israel’s terror since the creation of Israel by British imperialists. Israeli Zionists and their supporters in the West, the likes of the racist Zionist Maureen Lipman, are the unchallenged permanent guests on BBC programs, while Palestinians and pro-Palestinian voices are shut-off. It is noteworthy that in order to deceit the public, the BBC (occasionally) criticises Israel’s terror against the Palestinians. However, any thing critique of Israel is said in an apologetic and vague form that praises Israel.

Furthermore, the current BBC coverage of the Israeli invasion and barbaric attacks on Gaza and the indiscriminate aggression on Lebanon shows that the BBC favours the Israeli-Zionist narrative at the expense of millions of defenceless Palestinian and Lebanese civilians. While the BBC called Israeli indiscriminate attacks on civilians – using U.S.-made Apache helicopter gunships, F-16s bombers and artillery shells – acts of “self defence”, the BBC blames the Palestinian and Lebanese resistant to Israel’s aggression as “major escalation”.

It should be borne in mind that while Palestinian and Lebanese resistant attacks were on legitimate Israeli military targets, all Israeli attacks and blockades were indiscriminate and deliberately targeting innocent civilians, mostly children, and civilian infrastructures. Israel’s “self-defence” must baffle any ‘expert’ trying to define terrorism.

In the mean time, Israel continues to impose its trademark, collective punishment – barbaric and coercive measures used by Israel (and the U.S. in Iraq) against Gaza and indiscriminately killing innocent Palestinian civilians. In flagrant violations of international law and the Geneva Conventions, Israel is deliberately terrorising the Palestinians – children and infants in particular – by using sonic booms, destroying Gaza’s civilian infrastructures, including electricity and water supplies, health care services, and leaving the population venerable to starvation and chronic diseases. UN envoy John Dugard, told an emergency session of the Human Rights Council, that Israel is violating the “most fundamental norms of humanitarian law and human rights law” by deliberately imposing a barbaric siege on the Palestinian population. However, the UN has no teeth to bite with, and remains mute to act to stop Israel’s terror.

According to a communiqué by the Swiss Government (custodian of the Geneva Conventions), there is “no doubt Israel has not taken the precautions required of it in international law [including the Geneva Conventions] to protect the civilian population and infrastructure … The destruction of a power station, the attack on the offices of the Palestinian prime minister, the arbitrary arrests of a large number of democratically-elected representatives of the people and ministers... cannot be justified”. The 1949 Geneva Conventions (Article 54) state clearly that: “Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is prohibited”. It is also “prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population” (Article 51). The willingness of the BBC in particular and Western media in general to be on the side of the Israeli military and deliberately blaming its victims for the violence is evidence that Western media are complicit in Israeli crimes against innocent civilians.

The advertised pretext for this criminal wanton destruction and deliberate collective punishment being carried out by the Israeli army is that Israel trying “to free” one soldier. The soldier was taken prisoner during a legitimate military operation by Palestinian resistance against Israeli military post from which the Israeli army routinely fired thousands of artillery shells into Gaza that have killed more than 30 Palestinians, including several children in the past few weeks. One day before the operation, Israeli commandos or the IOF abducted two brothers, Osama and Mustafa Abu Muamar, and took them to Israel, probably murdered. The heroic operation was called by an Israeli military expert as “a daring commando action” which scared other soldiers nearby.

Since the invasion of Gaza on 25 June 2006, the Israeli army has since killed more than 100 innocent Palestinians, including many children, some as young as 6-years old, and injured more than 200 Palestinians, including more than 110 children. On the day (12 July) the U.S. vetoed a UN Resolutions condemning Israel’s terror against the Palestinians, more than twenty five Palestinians, including nine members of one family with their seven children, were murdered by the IOF. The besieged territory is the largest concentration camp on the planet, completely controlled by Israeli army. Gaza is constantly and heavily bombed from air, sea and land. These deliberate and indiscriminate acts of terrorism are war crimes against defenceless civilian population.

Furthermore, the Israeli invasion of Gaza is designed to terrorise the Palestinians, destroy a democratically elected legitimate leadership of the resistance movement (HAMAS), and to provide Israel with a cover to annex more Palestinian land in the West Bank and Jerusalem for illegal Jewish settlements (colonies). The Israeli army has been preparing for an attack on Gaza several months earlier and was constantly pushing for it, with the goal of destroying the Hamas infrastructure and its government and has very little to do with “freeing” one soldier. In fact Israel’s terror on Gaza is endangering the life of the soldier, who is being well treated by the Palestinians.

While the Israeli soldier is portrayed as an “innocent” clean-shaven teenager, there are some 10,000 Palestinian prisoners languishing in Israeli prisons. They include, 132 Palestinian women, 388 children and a dozen of infants as young as 3 months old, separated from their mothers and under brutal conditions. Many of the prisoners are imprisoned without charge as “Administrative Detainees”. They were kidnapped from their homes at midnight, imprisoned and subjected to torture, sexual abuses and denied their human rights and fair trial. For the BBC, Palestinians are nameless, voiceless and without identity.

As Jonathan Cook reported, the British media in general and the BBC in particular, “preferred to use words that misleadingly suggested [the soldier] was a victim, an innocent whose status as a soldier was not relevant to his fate. The Palestinians, as kidnappers and hostage-takers, were clearly not behaving in a legitimate manner”. Cook added; “Not only do [the BBC] reporters’ exhibit the biases associated with its institutional racism – as an organisation, the BBC chooses to identify with Israeli concerns before Palestinian ones – but they then compound this distortion by repeating uncritically Israel's own misrepresentation of events”. Racism is central to the BBC propaganda. Racism is the BBC’s convenient tool to demonise the “Others” and justify killing them. Let’s not forget that Israel is built on violence and racism, and continue to use racism to identify itself as a “Jewish State” only. The notion that Jews are superior to other human beings and entitle to dominate and rule those who do not is just a case in point. In his seminal work Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years (2002), the late Israeli historian and academic, Israel Shahak argued that Israel is inherently racist society.

Like Israel, the BBC is devoid of any moral principles and objectivity. Again we are reminded of how the BBC transforms not only the Israelis from oppressors into victims but also the Palestinians from victims of Israel’s terror into perpetrators of what the BBC called Palestinian “violence”. The BBC strips the Palestinians from their humanity and justifies their murder at the hands of Israeli terrorists. For the BBC, the Palestinians are “militants”, regardless of their age or gender, embarking on “destroying” the fourth largest or strongest army in the world. In other words, Israel is portrayed as a victim of Palestinian “terrorism”, not the opposite.

For the BBC, one Israeli soldier, enforcing an illegal and criminal occupation is ranked far above those innocent Palestinian civilians. There are no murdered Palestinian children, and pregnant women dying at Israeli check points, and there are no BBC reports on the malnutrition and starvation of Palestinian caused by months-long Israeli blockades. As mentioned earlier, the BBC is global propaganda and its main goal is to mislead not only the British people but millions around the world in order to manipulate public opinion and cover-up Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people.

In the Wes Bank and Jerusalem, the IOF and the Israeli police are on their rampage of terrorising Palestinians throughout the Occupied Territories, destroying and vandalising Palestinian charities, offices, and businesses. Schools and medical centres have been looted by Jewish extremists. Some 130 Palestinian lawmakers, government officials, cabinet ministers and ordinary activists were taken hostages without charge. The BBC described this mass midnight kidnapping as “arresting”. Furthermore, Israel has rejected peace and a ceasefire proposal put by the elected Palestinian Prime Minister, Ishmael Haniyeh, and threatened to assassinate him. Like many previous acts of terrorism committed by Israel, the BBC ignored to condemn Israel’s acts of naked state terrorism. (For more on Haniyeh’s peace initiative, see his Washington Post, 11 July 2006).

On another front in Israel’s war of aggression, the BBC pro-Israel propaganda is in full swing. To justify Israel’s war of aggression against Lebanon, the BBC argued “t is Hizbullah’s who have taken Lebanon hostage … and Israeli is reacting in ‘self-defence’”, (Claire Balderstone, BBC News Hour, 13 July, 2006). How simple it is?

Only a complicit BBC will call Israel’s indiscriminate attacks – from the air, sea and land – on population centres and civilian infrastructure of Lebanon, including the Beirut Airport, roads, bridges, ports, power plants, water supply and TV stations, the blockade of Lebanon and the deliberate massacre of innocent civilians as Israel’s “self-defence”.

On the morning of Thursday 13 July 2006, U.S.-made F-16s bombed the home of Sayyed Adel Akkash, killed Akkash, his wife and their 10 children, including Akkash's 6-month-old daughter, and leaving just a pile of body parts. On the day (15 July 2006) the UN Security Council rejected pleas for an immediate ceasefire, at least 35 civilians, including 15 children, were deliberately murdered by Israeli jets while fleeing Israel’s indiscriminate bombardments after they were ordered by the Israeli army to leave their homes and villages, a criminal policy of using civilian to put pressure on their government. The U.S. was the sole member of 15-nation UN Security Council to endorse Israeli aggression and to block any Security Council’s call for a ceasefire between Israel and the resistance.

In five days of deliberate acts of aggression against the sovereign state of Lebanon, at least 200 innocent Lebanese civilians, including some 70 children have been massacred by the Israeli army in cold blood and in the most cowardly fashion. There is mounting evidence that Israel is using internationally prohibited and banned weapons to attack civilians. It is unknown how the BBC and the Western media in general justify these war crimes as acts of “self-defence”. It is important to remember, that this is the same fanatical and extremist line propagated by George Bush and his two lackeys, Tony Blair and John Howard.

Again, the advertised pretext for these deliberate war crimes and state terrorism, is that Israel acting hysterical in order “to free” three Israeli soldiers taken in a legitimate military operation by the Lebanese Hizbullah’s fighters, because Israel refuses to adhere international law and exchange prisoners in a peaceful way. Lebanese prisoners (mostly prominent leaders) were abducted by Israeli military on Lebanese soil and detained as bargaining chips and to keep an ongoing conflict with Hizbullah. In addition, the BBC ignored to elaborate that Israel continues to occupy land in Lebanon, known as the Sheba Farms, where Israeli soldiers have often abducted and murdered Lebanese shepherds and farmers. Israel also routinely assassinated prominent Palestinians and Lebanese in cold blood. Furthermore, Israel – backed by the U.S. – is looking to widen the aggression by unfairly accusing and threatening Syria and Iran.

The aim of the Zionist state and its main backer (the U.S.) is to divide the Lebanese people, seek revenge against a legitimate political and resistance movement, and in the process trigger a broader war in the region, through acts of provocation and pre-emptive aggression. Israel creates a violent environment and uses violence to shape its miserably failed Zionist strategy in the region. The Arab regimes, particularly those of Egypt and Saudi Arabia, should be ashamed for their cowardice, treason of the Arab cause and for not being able to stand up to Israel’s aggression.

With journalists in Israel, Lebanon and the Occupied Territories, Western media and the BBC in particular have ample opportunities to tell the truth and expose Israel’s war crimes against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples to the outside world. Instead, Israel’s war crimes are covered-up with a veneer of disinformation and propaganda. There are no photographs of murdered Palestinian and Lebanese children and pregnant women dying at Israeli check-points or tortured and humiliated Palestinian prisoners on the BBC web site. There are no BBC reports on the living conditions, malnutrition and starvation of Palestinians caused by the months-long Israeli criminal blockade.

The illegal invasion of Iraq is another barbarity where the BBC was and continues to be an active complicit. The war on Iraq by the U.S. and British Governments was the most violent premeditated act of aggression against defenceless people.

The BBC deliberately and systematically ignored much publicly available information on Iraq's weapons programs, and instead played a very dishonest and warmongering role. The BBC unchallenged and repeated Blair and Bush fabricated pack of lies about the (none)-existence of Iraq Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD); the result was up to half a million Iraqis, mostly women and children killed by U.S. and British armies, and the total destruction of the Iraqi society. The BBC continues to actively aiding and abetting a murderous Occupation and murderous occupying forces who are committing gross crimes against the Iraqi people.

After three years of illegal and murderous Occupation, the BBC is fully aware of the Occupation-generated violence and destruction. Yet the BBC continues to play ball and distort facts on the ground in Iraq. How an illegal invasion and a murderous occupation that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis – mostly women and children – could be described as just “melancholy thoughts”? How could the scares of torture, rape and sexual abuses of tens of thousands of Iraqis by U.S. and British soldiers be described just mere “memory”? The complicity of the BBC in the crimes against the Iraqi people is crimes against humanity, as it was rightly

The complicity of the BBC and other corporate media in the war crimes was summarised by the World Tribunal on Iraq in its 27 June findings. After a four day session hearing of evidence, the charges laid against the corporate media, including the BBC are war crimes and crimes against humanity. (Here is WTI findings).

The BBC continues to cover-up horrendous war crimes committed against the Iraqi people by US and British soldiers. The destruction of Iraqi towns and cities, the countless massacres of innocent civilians, and the torture and sexual abused of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib and hundreds of other US and Britain-run prisons do not feature in the BBC program lists or on the BBC website. The BBC is deliberately misleading the public and continues actively aiding and abetting in war crimes against the Iraqi people.

Finally, it is baffling that the BBC is unable to tell the British public where is Israel and if Israel has recognised international boarders. The British people ought to know that the Apartheid Wall is not Israel’s “security fence”. The Wall was rightly condemned by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague for it “imposes immense and unnecessary suffering on the Palestinian people”. It is a formidable wall designed to fractionate Palestinian communities, isolate them into ghettos and steal their land and water resources.

Due to its reliance on government sources and its support for the policies of the British Government, the BBC failed to be independent and impartial public broadcaster. The BBC betrays its Charter and the trust of the people in Britain. As a result, the people of Britain are misled by the BBC disinformation and denied an opportunity to understand the conflict. The British people have the right to know that their government and military are committing cross crimes their name.

There can be no peace in the Middle East until the occupation of Palestine and Iraq end and the injustices committed by the Israeli and the U.S. governments against the people of the Middle East cease. The British public must hold the BBC accountable for its failure to provide independent and impartial information.

It seems to be an espablished fact (as least as far as MPACuk is concerned) that the BBC is a zionist mouthpiece and that anything this reporter produces will be biased. I must say i am unimpressed by both of these positions, if the programme is truly defamatory then complain away but to start to bleat about it before it is even transmitted whilst yourselves perpetrating a hate campaign (such as the one you complain about) does your claim to respectability no good at all.

Sure what the israli state does is abhorent but so is suicide bombing. both sides in the middle east are decended from pagan arab stock and are equally volatile. they both need their heads banging together.

syria, iran and the usa need to stop fighting proxy wars in the reigon. those are the issues.

just watch the programme, then complain about the bits that are untrue but i bet most of what gets said will be accurate if uncomfortable.

disappointed

I think you need to understand that what is written in these forums is not necessarily the view of MPAC but members of its web forum, as you are. I doubt that a third person reading this thread would consider your views as the views of MPAC just because your "literature" happens to be posted on their site.

This kind of attitude is all to familiar to us, from the famous quotations of George bush which he claims to have picked up from the Qur'an, but the world being a fool in general believed him and now we are all in this mess, known as the war on terror.

I think its about time people should learn about Islam before putting it in the direct line of fire, because of hearsay.

What about the badge of Hamas (with the Quran, blood, the globe etc) which is displayed in the chidlren's school which this UK based charity pays for? any comments?

Was that a lie?
