Comments
I think the FT commentator made the whole thing very clear with one statement.
[what] "if hundreds of thousands of Israelis had been turned into refugees?"
The fact is that tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of Israelis have fled south from the Hezbollah missiles aimed at them.
Even more hundreds of thousands are sheltering themselves in facilities they were smart enough to build.
I know that the 91Èȱ¬ does not like to use the words 'human shields', but that's the Hezbollah deployment strategy.
Express regrets about Israelis valuing the lives of their own people and their refusal to use their citizens as pawns, but please don't explain away your bias because you have been manipulated by terrorists.
Sunday evenings news re: the Rugby
World Cup. 'The Try That Wasn't'
The Newscaster stated that only the video referee saw that England did not score a try as their players foot touched the line first.
This is NOT true, I for one saw why the try was not awarded, and I think that the B.B.C. is losing it's credability by making such statements by newsreaders who are obviously ill informed on the subject they are reporting.
