I have just watched the most anti Israeli programme I have ever seen on British television. It was on the BBC at prime time and goes by the title of 'Spooks'. The plot concerned the attempts of a right wing Israeli group who murdered a peace negotiator in order to stop any two state agreement. Although there were passing references to the idea that the right wing group, the November committee who advocated a greater Israel, were hated by the more liberal Israelis the whole script was an excuse to attack all Israelis who,

Director Cilla Ware
Producer Andrew Woodhead

How about the use of entertainment program(me)s on British state funded TV as a political tool?
Naaaah.
How do I, as one of those nasty Israelis, feel about this?
Tired mainly.
Later:
Mind you, what can you expect? I mean, just look at this (not that one has anything to do with the other)
These people are raving lunatics. It's just incredible, isn't it?
