Mustafa Barghouti was given a nice gentle time by Evan this a.m. Not that I prefer the Humphrys method of interrogation, which hardly gives the interviewee a chance to state his case.But Mustafa was given free rein to spout a series of unadulterated porky pies. “Is the ceasefire in effect?” asked Evan, nicely.“Israel provoked the cycle of violence by attacking Gaza viciously.

OK folks. This blog stands at a crossroads and I want to take it forward. I need your help to achieve this and I am touched by the emails sent my way in recent days.
