British Media mimics US-Israeli policy of ignoring Palestinians
Thursday 15th April, 2004
British TV media outlets demonstrated incredible bias in their reporting
of yesterday’s Washington press conference, at which George Bush and Ariel
Sharon attempted to tear up international law by re-writing the right of
return for millions of Palestinian refugees, and by re-drawing the borders

“reality on the ground”, referring to illegal settlements which have
continued to steal Palestinian land and carve up the West Bank throughout
Sharon’s tenure as Prime Minister...more

away at the outskirts. Before we can pass the message on, two explosions
scatter the crowd in the side street back into their houses..."

Moore’s Letter to President Arafat in “Stupid White Men”
Dear
President Arafat,
We’ve never met. That’s not an attempt to cop an invite over
for dinner or a game of horseshoes. You’re a busy man, I’m
a busy man (though I can’t get anyone in the office here to call
me President, or respond to my directives with, “Ya, Sir!”)...
