Here is a recent article by Patrick Seale, whom you chose to interview recently on the BBC as a supposed impartial expert on the Middle East. Seale is a notorious anti-Israel, antisemitic journalist with close ties to corrupt Arab regimes (such as Syria’s Assad family).
In this particular article, Seale says that the US is making a terrible mistake in demonising Iran (whose leader of course has on many occasions advocated “wiping Israel off the map” and publicly denied the Holocaust, while secretly acquiring the nuclear weapons to perpetrate a 2nd Holocaust).

Here is Daniel Pipes’, Wall Street Journal review of Patrick Seale’s discredited biography of the infamous terrorist Abu Nidal, in which Seale in conspiratorial antisemitic fashion blames Israel and the Mossad for Nidal’s reprehensible murders of Jews & Israelis:

Lyse, hopefully you will never invite Patrick Seale back to the BBC to promote his sick, antisemitic views.
Perhaps in the future you could find someone more fair and balanced for an impartial analysis of the Middle East or at least present the opposing view from a (non-Leftist) Israeli.
