Default Gaza appeal.

Should we donate to the Gaza appeal fund?
Could the funds fall into the wrong hands that want to attack Israel?

ITV will show the Gaza appeal ad but the BBC have pulled out due to the above, are the BBC right to do so? Many people are protesting outside the BBC today because of this...

Hammas rule Gaza with fear and terror and need weapons to fight Israel, should the UK public donate money?

I seen this on the TV today, about the BBC declining to show it. I suppose they are right to be cautious, obviously we dont want the money going to Hamas who would spend it on bombs and weapons to attack Israel.

But on the other hand, the BBC don't want to look biased towards Israel. IIRC, the BBC have Arabic radio and television channels, so if their viewers in the Middle East are hearing this, it may turn viewers away?

not being funny as i find all very upsetting whats happening with innocents dying etc but surely its not our problem as such and we should be worried more about our own country than one the other side of the world like i say i dont agree with the attacks the killings of innocents etc

I hope the BBC stick to their guns and ignore the protests who are blind to see the full picture.

Sure, civilian death is always a bad thing, but it's often the consequence of absolute nutters in power. Precisely what Hamas are. I'm not particularly sympathetic.

Hamas fire rockets from schools, hide weapons in peoples homes and hospitals... They are thugs that use fear to control the people of gaza.. Sending money to Gaza will only fall into the wrong hands and will give Hamas greater power to control the people that they use as pawns!

I don't like the idea of turning our backs on the Gaza strip completely, but I agree that it seems silly to be giving them money that could be squandered when we, the UK, are in need of money right now.

For once I think the BBC are right, because as the main broadcaster its going to look like the UK are becoming biased
The BBC has already got thousands of complaints about bias on this matter so this is the last thing they need to be showing.
And I think more could be being done than airing an appeal around the world to solve this situation in the long term, just a waste of time,money and effort.

Go down the page
check Tony Benn - You Tube link.


The Stuffy Bloated BBC
have it very wrong.
Ch4 News is better than any Bloated BBC News.




The BBC wants to be the main Broadcaster
but they are Not.
It is a open market now.

Like 'The Wire ' on FX channel.


The BBC does not buy the correct shows

I want my money back
The BBC ain't worthy of the BBC Tax.

Gaza have asked for what has happened to them for a long time, they did deserve what was coming to them. Sounds harsh but Israel have just put up with it until now. Don't feel very sympathetic plus the money will probably fall into the wrong hands.

Xander, I don't think its fair to say innocent civilians such as children and women should be killed, which sort of what you're implying.

On the news, it said Israel had only killed about 45 Hamas fighters, with the rest being civilians. Now remember that 1000+ people died.

It's not right. I never ever would go on Hamas' side, because their a terrorist group, however, there is no justification for killed babies and toddlers.

Basically the point I'm trying to prove is along the lines of what Shaun was saying.
I know children etc have died but thats down to the fault of Hamas carrying out there ways, surely Israel were going to retaliate one day..

Yes they should.


But they claim Gun Fire came from the UN and School areas.

So they get away with it.


But SkyNews on Sunday
showed how Nasty Israel used Illegal
fire power on people in Gaza.
That burnt through their skin into bones.

The Bloated Pro Jewish BBC
did not report the same.
They are to scared to.

That UK Charity Group will not allow money to go into the wrong hands.
Out in Gaza offices of the Red Cross, for example,
are staffed to deal with giving help
on the ground.


And the People of Gaza
never asked for this.
That is a Fact.



Good on Ch4 /ITV and Five
for helping.

Hamas use the people as pawns in their vile ways... Hamas support children to become bombers to kill jews!
Hamas support the death to all jews!
Hamas use the death of the normal people of to gain support for their vile sick movement!
None of this is new and goes back many many years.

This is going to sound quite harsh but I actually don't care. I've got other worries atm than just donating a few quid which might not even go somewhere, and donating to a cause I hardly know anything about, and something that isn't affecting me.

No that sounds fine.

Not everyone gives to charity anyway.



But the Bloated BBC are Harsh.

The Appeal is now on ITV



The BBC could have Edited out any VT (they did not like)
and still had the Appeal.


It does not look anything like BBC news reports.



The BBC is telling the public they are stupid.
