Hello l'algerois,

Well I did watch clips of it, on youtube and dailymotion, everybody could and should watch it. It made me sad, and angry...shall I go on?

Whilst we are on a somewhat sad note, check out "the wall" another Palestinian tragedy.

I am trying to get both of the films; in fact Yazid has been tasked to get them! If I am successful, I will send you copies!

A+

Thanks Musty and l'Algeroise. There is no doubt we're talking state-sponsored terrorism. BTW, the BBC has been banned numnerous times by the Israeli government from reporting in the occupied territories every time one of these eye-opening documentaries is aired. The usual excuse... you guessed it... is "fuelling" anti-semitism.

... and yet today on Radio 4 on numerous occasions a BBC journalist gave a reaonably good analysis of the terrible situation in Gaza. Essentially he reported that the root causes of the conflict are :
1) Hamas was democratically elected. However the so-called gang of four (US, UK, EU and Russia) never accepted the results and cut off ties with the Palestinian government
2) all financial support ceased.
3) any financial support from other parties is stopped. Algeria helps to the tune of some $20m; and this is stopped
4)Israel stopped all monies (you may not know but Palestine relies on Israeli infrastructure, bank, etc to collect monies such as tax; etc)
5)People have not been paid for months
6)Israel has managed to 40 Hamas official in Jail

... all reported by a BBC journalist. If you want to hear it again, just go on bbc website and listen to the 13h00 or 18h00 news report!
