the BBC writes -

Israel has blockaded Gaza since 2007, when the Islamist Hamas movement seized control of the territory.

Hamas WON an election and are the legitimate Government, as the BBC themselves have previously reported -

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4214375.stm

Israel has been punishing Gaza for having the temerity to elect a government not to their liking. So much for democracy.

Whatever happened to the socialist paradise of Israel ??..it's now the new face of facism.

The BBC are useless.

They do this all the time.

They make up their own story to fit their "PC" version of life.

Facts are now pointless.

If the BBC publishes it on their website then HISTORY IS RE-WRITTEN. The arrogance of the BBC Is breath-taking.

It needs to be closed down. It really does. I realise that this will upset some "oldies" who still cling onto the BBC of old. But it is now totally not fit for purpose.

If it does not clean up its act it will eventually lose any support it currently has.....

Democracy means nothing to the BBC as this shows. Shocking.

Very good and accurate point ITK.

agreed, JK.

and at last an issue we can agree on, ITK
