[matilda] Palestine and Lebanon Action Alert and articles.

[Ruhul]

Sorry for the succession of emails but the situation for the peoples of Palestine and Lebanon are deperate. Please take a few minutes to respond.



Please send a complaint to Sky News over their biased reporting of Israel's war on Lebanon and Palestine cc it to Media Lens (an excellent media monitoring website). David Edwards from Media Lens provides a very disturbing quote from an Israeli media adviser who boasted recently that Israeli spokespeople have been interviewed by the foreign press four times as much as spokespeople from Lebanon and Palestine. Another official said that in terms of getting their side across "they have never had it so good". Both of these quotes can be read here:

You only have to turn on the TV to see how true this is. It is therefore so important to keep on complaining to the media about their massively skewed reporting and continue to ask them how they can possibly justify it....there is no way they can even deny this accusation now that Israeli spokespeople are themselves happily admitting it to be the case.

You can email the two worst offenders at:

news at sky.com 

and

helenboaden.complaints at bbc.co.uk (director of BBC News)

Please  c.c Media Lens at: editor at medialens.org so they can keep track of numbers of complaints sent.

Also, don't forget the emergency demo this Saturday:

EMERGENCY DEMONSTRATION 
End Israel's Barbarism Now 
London: Saturday 22 July
Whitehall Place, SW1, 12 Noon
(Nearest tube: Embankment. Please note there are some tube restrictions this weekend.)

Forward this info onto all your contacts too.

PS: There is a poll on the CNN website about whether Israeli military action inside Lebanon was justified...at the moment 56% are saying 'no'. You can vote here (scroll down and it is on the right-hand side of page)

British anger at terror celebration

BY NED PARKER AND STEPHEN FARRELL


"AS ISRAEL wages war against Hezbollah "terrorists" in Lebanon, Britain
has protested about the celebration by right-wing Israelis of a Jewish
"act of terrorism" against British rule 60 years ago this week."
