Don't just Protest, Occupy to END Israeli Occupation & Siege

200 protesters demonstrated outside the BBC studios in Glasgow against the decision by the BBC not to air a Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) crisis appeal for the people of Gaza.  At around 5pm the protesters managed to gain access to the building turning protest into an occupation, around 70 protesters remain in occupation of the building with the remaining protesters taking up residence outside. The BBC’s decision is even more disgraceful now as the other networks have bowed to requests by the public and also the government.

Block Israeli propaganda not aid to Gaza

The BBC’s decision not to air the DEC appeal is absolutely disgusting.  Failure to raise the estimated 10 million required is going to result in more deaths.  These deaths are going to be as a direct result of some BBC executive decision.

This takes the BBC’s Islama-phobia to a new level with their discrimination against the Palestinians. Depriving people of desperately needed humanitarian aid because they are Palestinians is shocking discrimination that would never be tolerated against anyone else.  Palestinians suffered under a brutal 20 month Israeli siege, followed by a savage Israeli war, where they used illegal weapons on the civilian population and now this discrimination from the BBC will result in more deaths
