The BBC’s new drama, The Honourable Woman, is based around events, historic and present day, occurring in Israel and Palestine. We are assured that it is entirely neutral in its approach and does not take sides.

I have to be honest and say that I did a double take when reading Jeremy Bowen’s twitter feed. I THOUGHT it has to be a parody but evidently not. Hamas must love him. And Israel has serious questions to answer. Especially after lethal attack on disabled home #Gaza — Jeremy Bowen (@BowenBBC) July 12, 2014 Over the years, we have covered many of the flare ups in this region … Continue reading →

Of course his appointment is not 100%, because there … Continue reading →
