I find her question unbelievable; she must be aware of Netanyahu’s repeated requests for a meeting. The answer is obvious, she has framed the question hoping to convey the impression to the less well informed that the intransigence is on both sides. Silly, devious, little woman.
Perhaps the real questions which no one seems willing to ask are: What’s the point of talking to Abbas while he is inciting violence and even if he stops his incitement does he have the will or ability to do anything?
Lyse Doucet and Orla Guerin – the po-faced Oirish Harpies!! Where the hell did the BBC get the idea that the Irish have any more credentials as international commentators than other English speaking journalists, they seem to have a monopoly in the middle east? I guess the logic goes Irish = victims of British oppression = empathise with muslims! To me they have absolutely nothing in common!
It’s not just those two harridans, there is also the ridiculous Feargal Keane. I strongly suspect we are seeing the results of Irish Catholic education at work here.
In any case, why the BBC feels the need to employ anyone but natives of the country that pays for it is a subject worthy of some investigation. I wouldn’t, for example, expect to hear many British English accents on Canadian or Australian TV and when we get to the local stringers, why the BBC expects a Nigerian or an Afghan, who is very likely be parti pris to one side or another in a story, to be an objective reporter, is a complete mystery.
Of course, what is behind it all is absurd liberal self-loathing and ritual kow towing to ‘minorities’.
Agreed about Fergal Keane – first saw him reporting for BBC in South Africa when it was all going tits up there. I’m still thinking there’s a connection between Irish and victimhood in BBC mindset though, although how these three would have experienced British oppression is a mystery to me, they seem quite middle class and privileged. (sorry that should be English oppression – if you’ve ever had to go through a ‘de-colonisation’ course you will know that the Welsh and Scots were oppressed by the English too!)
