“Even the Lebanese newspaper “A-Safir”, which has close contacts with Hezbollah quoted the campaign. Al-Jazeera interviewed us and the al-Quds publication, which is not a great lover of Israel to say the least, agreed to put up huge adds”

So now CNN and the BBC feel a need to be more anti-Israel than even the Arabs. Let's block a humanitarian campaign, a paid one no less, because it's "political". Hmmmm....

Is it any wonder that people who trust CNN or BBC for their news have such distorted views of Israel and the Palestinians and the conflict?

How different it is. The Israelis love their young.

CNN, however, sent a letter to the foundation stating that the network does not air adds about political issues.

I see red and am literally speechless when I see idiocy of this magnitude.

I just wish they might have explained why trying to locate another human being, or wondering about his fate is a "political" issue.

If I say more, or express what I really feel, it may be a long time before I am allowed to post anything.

Further proof of why we cannot trust CNN, BBC and the Eurosport. CNNs excuse is almost laughable. AS if CNN has never aired any political add. Whatever losers! That is why FOX News is smoking your ratings. That is why CNN does not even have a top 10 news show.

There is no other media than Al Jazeera that can be biased calling Iraq terrorists a resistance. Probably the Arab media just wanted money.
