-Caveat Lector- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2001 22:37:42 -0000 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PalestineDiary] Israel protests BBC coverage of Pal. reaction to U.S. attacks Israel protests BBC coverage of Pal. reaction to U.S. attacks By Sharon Sadeh, Ha'aretz Correspondent The Israeli Embassy in London wrote to the British Broadcasting Corporation three days ago to protest what it calls, "the British network's caving in to the scare tactics of the Palestinian Authority." The letter criticizes the network's reporters in Israel for stressing a number of times that the images of Palestinians celebrating following the terror attack in the U.S. last week "did not reflect the general opinion of the majority of the Palestinian public." The criticism is based on reports that the PA threatened foreign reporters, demanding that they not carry any reports of Palestinian celebrations. The embassy's press secretary David Schneeweiss says in the letter that Israel wants to verify whether the BBC's efforts to influence the viewers was the result of caving in to Palestinian pressures or a freely-made decision to act as the PA's propaganda apparatus. This the third letter Israel has written to the BBC in the past year related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In May Israel demanded that the BBC take action against one of its reporters in Gaza that expressed his support of the Hamas. In October the embassy complained about the BBC's coverage of the Al Aqsa Intifada. To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!
