And..???? Gerry Kelly was supposed to be there among others, its been advertised all over along with a big meeting at one of the local hotels in Belfast on Tuesday night.
Be there or be square..?? =-O
The correct way to report this would be a protest has been organised in central Belfast this afternoon. This was a blatant promo for the hate fest.
Strangely BBC does not report that hate floatilla telling Israeli forces “go back to Auschwitz”
Will the BBC do a climate camp type invitation and give directions? Its ‘for the cause’ they are all hamas now etc.
Hey, if you are a friend of the BBC and if you share the same aims as the BBC then there is no end to the help you can get. From regular spots to failed politicians to unfunny ‘comedians’ to rabble rousing has beens.
Only fair.
They have been cranking out PR as ‘news’ for long enough, so using news for your mates’ PR is simply payback.
And as a plus, if they create a nice crowd, they can report it more.
Reporting the news vs. shaping it. Simples.
Oh, the futility!
I trust that the BBC will also be having a go at the Egyptians. After all, Egypt shares a border with their fellow Arabs in Gaza, and could provide aid across this border if they chose. In fact, I’m surprised that the leftie peace freaks who say that they are so desperate to save the Palestinians have not realised that with a little Arab brotherly co-operation it might be easier to land their aid in Egypt than in Gaza.
Then again, maybe the leftie peace freaks don’t give a damn about Gaza after all. Maybe they are just doing their best to fuel the jihad against Israel.
I was talking to a Palestinian refguee today(as you do) and listened to his story, quite a story it was too.
This palestinian refugee was from Iraq and there are plenty of those nowadays, some genuine and some paying handsome..er..uhm..gratuities in the from of thousands of $ for the chance to get themselves and their families out of the new Iraq.
Anyhooo, this guy was approached by a local official and told to pack and leave in 24hrs or his family would be killed so unsurprisingly they left everything behind and fled, he is now one of the thousands of Palestinians fleeing from their muslim brothers and co religioinsts of peace.
So how does this link to the BBC? Well the BBC are uninterested in them beacuse they are not the correct type of victim you see, these Palestinian refugees are not being persecuted by the Israelli state and that makes them invisible.
It also makes them invisible to the free Gaza/IHH/Gaza solidarity fake charities, they are the invisible refugees because they are being persecuted by muslims and that fact alone means the BBC all of a sudden finds other things to report on.
In conclusion our Hamid has got to toe the line and spout the right phrases and know the right people and maybe he gets his family to Norway but maybe the UNWRA corrupt officials have sold his spot to a hamas party member instead, maybe a nod and a wink and the right paperwork and the right arm twisting of the useful idiots at UNWRA gets an islamist into the west from where they organize and plot and spend their time on the rage industry junketts screaming abuse at the very nations that took them in.
The moral of the story is that IF you are the right kind of victim and fit the narrative then the BBC is there in spades, if not then see yah around eh?
I don’t recall hearing anything from the BBC about Jordan withdrawing citizenship rights from its Jordanians of “Palestinian” origin:

“Go back to Auschwitz”. That’s progress because at least they now acknowledge that something bad happened to Jews there.
While various people on the BBC fete Rachel Corrie – St Pancake who stupidly got herself killed by getting in front of a bulldozer whose driver could not see her – no-one has ever mentioned the British Rachel who was murdered by Palestinian terrorists :

Any answers with Jonathan Dimbleby. Chap phones in saying the Israelis were legally entitled to board the ships as per the Law of the Sea and gave one or two examples, Dimbleby acknowledged that he seemed to know what he was talking about then asked, “what is the difference between that and piracy”. Cue laughter on the end of the phone. Patiently he explained that piracy was when you board a ship steal its cargo or hold the ship to ransom, as off the coast of Somalia.
“Israel’s actions were not illegal under international law. Israel controls sea access to Gaza under the Oslo Accords of 1993. The United States and other Western countries have boarded ships in international waters over the years to enforce blockades and protect security.”
Trouble is BBC reporters have let peace activists claim that Israel committed an act of piracy on the high seas and just let it run. No wonder?
Informed people. The bane of bent BBC ‘journalism’.
St. Pancake?
Sorry but 😀 😀
She would be a hamas matyr BUT as she is an infidel she is only classed as a useful idiot first class. As an infidel she aint going to believer heaven and she aint getting any statue and her name will not be on any street sign in Gaza.
A young girl with a life ahead of her throws it away for gangsters and serial killers, the phrase utter waste doesnt cover it.
Why has the BBC been leading its news all day with the Rachel Corrie boat and a handful of Irish lefties ? Nothing significant happened. There are far morte significant events elsewhere in the globe today.
Not for the BBC there isnt John. Nothing else is anywhere near as important to the BBC, this fabricated outrage is meat and drink to the BBC and its what they live for. A perfect opportunity for them to show solidarity with their friends and allies, everything else can wait.
I heard some Hughes woman from ‘Free Gaza’ being interviewed on the BBC World Services’ ‘Newshour’. She came out with a series of huge and demonstrable lies. In his way the interviewer was objective, but when someone comes out with huge demonstrable lies with so much at stake they really need to be given a very hard time. I suspect what held this particular BBC journalist back was the knowledge that his terrorist enabler colleagues would have the knives out for him if he did.
