They don't make 'em like Tony Benn any more; that courage, determination, backed by a solid knowledge of the facts, is despairingly absent from our politicians. The BBC bowed to Israeli pressure without a doubt, and one squirms to hear them say they didn't. No doubt pressure was brought to bear in Ireland on politicians to back-track on calls for the expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador. A little US nudging would have been involved too. The Israeli Embassy, meanwhile, will no doubt continue to try to recruit artists and writers here to appear on cultural platforms in Israel.

It calls on Micheál Martin to table a motion at the Foreign Ministers meeting on the 26th of January calling for Israel's trade privileges to be rescinded until such time as Israel complies with its obligations under international humanitarian law.
It also calls on the Minister to issue a public statement indicating his intent to table this motion.

The BBC has often been shown to criticise Israel
The various charities have often used their adverts and spokes men to criticise Israel
Is there some belated attempt at "balance " here ?
But seriously, the media politics of Brit telly ought prompt us to consider our own Irish TV response to Israel's slaughter in Gaza & notedly absent attempts to plough that furrow of impartiality which since Abel's split skull has creased the brow of diplomatic hypocrisy.
if you know what I mean.
