George Galloway MP will be joining the protest at the BBC in Edinburgh this afternoon

Wed January 28th Demonstrate at the BBC

PROTEST at the BBC's decision not to air the DEC Appeal for Gaza

Edinburgh - BBC East Scotland, The Tun, Holyrood Rd 5.30pm (called by Scottish PSC and supported by Edinburgh Stop the War Coalition)

SPSC will project the DEC's Appeal for Gaza onto the wall of the BBC building in Edinburgh. Speakers include Pauline Goldsmith (one of the four signatories of the actors' boycott letter) and George Galloway

Mounting Protests at BBC

Wed January 28th
Glasgow - BBC Scottish HQ, Pacific Quay 4.30pm
(called by Stop the War)
Edinburgh - BBC East Scotland, The Tun, Holyrood Rd 5.30pm (called by Scottish PSC)

SPSC will project the DEC's Appeal for Gaza onto the wall of the BBC building.
Speakers include Pauline Goldsmith, one of the four signatories of the actors' boycott letter BBC.

Protesters will today gather outside the BBC in Glasgow and Edinburgh against the controversial decision by the BBC not to air a Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) crisis appeal for the people of Gaza .

Mick Napier, chair of the SPSC, said, “The BBC’s decision to impede the humanitarian appeal on behalf of the people of Gaza comes on top of this well-substantiated record of pro-Israeli bias. It also comes to a population who see yet another invasion in the Middle East where the British government is on the wrong side and believe that the BBC is even more so. The Sun newspaper never recovered on Merseyside from its appalling misreporting of the Hillsborough disaster and the BBC may never recover from this similar violation of deeply held convictions. The great majority of British people clearly feel that Palestinians have been savaged and that denying aid to the victims is sadistic.”

Samena Dean, from the Islamic community said: “This has nothing to do with impartiality, but everything to do with Mark Thompson’s views on the conflict. He clearly wants to help Israeli punish the Palestinians for resisting the Occupation and the Siege. Mark Thompson visited Israel in 2005 and held talk with Ariel Sharon, the man responsible for the massacres at Sabra and Shatila. By the very fact that Mark Thompson would meet Sharon shows that he would rather ‘Aunty Beeb’ peddle Israeli propaganda then help to relive a humanitarian crisis in Gaza .”

Solidarity Campaign started in autumn 2000 in response to the Palestinian second uprising against Israeli occupation (intifada). The SPSC has branches and groups of supporters in several Scottish cities and universities, as well as individual members across Scotland .

2. BBC defends Gaza appeal decision:

The BBC has defended a decision not to air a TV fund-raising appeal for Gaza , saying it wanted to avoid compromising public confidence in its impartiality.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7846150.stm

3. BBC under pressure over Gaza emergency appeal

The BBC came under mounting pressure today to screen an emergency appeal for Gaza , after ITV, Channel 4 and Five all announced they will show it.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/bbc-under-pressure-over-gaza-emergency-appeal-1515149.html

4. DEC would normally raise about £10 million:

A national appeal from the DEC would normally raise about £10 million, but without the broadcasts the total is certain to be lower.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article5568735.ece

5. DEC Access and Impartiality
The DEC members are committed to humanitarian principles including independence and have confirmed they are able to work without hindrance from the Hamas controlled authorities both to identify who are the most needy and to channel assistance to them directly, either through their own staff or well established local non governmental partners. The DEC members have submitted lists of partners and their banking arrangements, to insure proper systems are in place.

http://www.dec.org.uk/cgi-bin/item.cgi?ap=1&id=320

6. General Background

The State of Israel was founded through the systematic ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948. This event, known as the 'Nakbah', or catastrophe, to Palestinians, saw the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of them from their homes. Those expelled are still refused their rights under international law to return to return home. The crimes committed against the Palestinian people did not end in 1948 however, and daily theft of land and resources continues as Israel pushes forward its policy of replacing the Palestinian people with Jewish immigrants from around the world.

Protest at BBC studios turns into Occupation
About 200 protesters demonstrated outside the BBC studios in Glasgow against the
controversial 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 some 4 hours later with the remaining protesters taking up residence outside.
The protest was supported by a number of organisations including the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC). The BBC's decision is even more controversial now as the other networks have bowed to requests by the public and also the government
Mick Napier, chair of the SPSC, said, "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.
These executive have literally got the blood of Gaza on their hands".
Samena Dean, from the Islamic community said: "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.
They 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,
and the ones to die are once again going to be children."

Open Letter to the BBC from Tam Dean Burn

Mark Thompsonm rector general of the BBC
Broadcasting House nPortland Place London W1A 1AA.

Dear Mark Thompson

We, the undersigned actors and directors, like millions of others, are absolutely
appalled at the decision by the BBC to refuse to broadcast the DEC appeal for
Gaza. We therefore are taking what action we can in protest at this decision
by stating, like our fellow actor, Samantha Morton, we will never work for
the BBC again unless this disgraceful decision is reversed. We will urge others
from our profession and beyond to do likewise.
We will also not pay our TV license fee in protest and encourage others to do likewise.
It is time for the people of Britain to take a stand on this issue by demanding the
BBC reverse this decision and by supporting the call from Palestinian civil society for a complete economic, academic and cultural boycott of Israel until it ends its pitiless violence against the long-suffering people of Gaza
and the whole of Palestine .

Gazans tell of ordeal as war rages

[Gallo/Getty]

With more than 1,000 Palestinians dead amid Israel's war on Gaza - more than
300 of them children - Al Jazeera spoketo citizens of the territory struggling
to surivive under the Israeli offensive.

Moussa el-Haddad, a doctor at Shifa hospital in Gaza City "We hear screams over the radio from people injured in the streets asking for emergency
help, but paramedics can't reach them and, besides, the hospitals are overcrowded. Even those killed can't be reached. 'm telling you, Gaza is on fire. Everyone on this piece of land is under attack. In this time and age, I can't believe the world is watching and no one is doing anything. don't understand Ban Ki-moon is making trips from here to there.
Why doesn't he help stop this bloody war?"A
A mother who lost her only son

"They [Israeli soldiers] opened fire at us. My son Faris was killed in my arms. I couldn't have children for 21 years after marriage until God gave me this child.

Elaina Qleibo, the head of food and security for Oxfam
"There is this grave feeling of impotence and I wish I was a doctor or a magician so I can
save all of these people. There is no safe place to say and there is a lack of water, so it's become a very overbearing situation.People here are sufferring deeply, so much that they are numb, like when you have an accident, you immediately enter a state of numbness.You see an old man sitting by himself looking like he's about to cry or you'll see a group
of people walking to pretend that nothing is happening.The shock is so big here, I don't know if people realise what is happening to them."

A four-year-old girl attacked by an Israeli soldierb

"I saw him [the solider] hiding next to the shop. I looked around for my mum, then he shot me.

One bullet hit my hand and the other penetrated my stomach through my back."

Maysa al-Khitab, a resident of Gaza City

"Please help us. The Israelis are bombing us with phosphorus bombs, so please help us.

The shelling has been continuous since last night. We are in an area where 500 other families are under bombardment.

"Where are the Arabs? Where is the world? None of them are doing anything.

"We are being killed. I just saw 300 peoplekilled in front of my own eyes when the tower
collapsed. Please stop this war."

A father who lost two daughters

"My three daughters went out with my mother. All of a sudden, Israeli soldiers started shouting at them from a very close distance. My eldest was hit by 17 bullets in the chest and my two-year-old was hit by 12. They both died, of course." Khaled Ezzidin, a resident of Deir al-Balah outside of Gaza "I used to live in a city called al-Zahra and, one night, me and my family were hiding in the basement of our house. We came under fire for about two hours and by a miracle we survived the bombardment. The next day we left the city and moved to Deir al-Balah."

Barack Obama is sworn in
as President of USA

By Sara Nelson

The upcoming Presidential inauguration of Barack Obama is set to be a worldwide event – and is even being immortalized in LEGO.

The entire scene of the event, which will be held on the West Front of the US Capitol, has been constructed out of the colourful building blocks at Legoland California.

The massive project features more than a thousand mini-figures, including President-elect Barack Obama and his family, vice president-elect Joe Biden, his wife Jill, George and Laura Bush, Dick and Lynn Cheney, and George Bush Sr and Barbara Bush.

'The time has come...'

Barack Obama has made his historic speech as the first black president of the USA in front of huge crowds. » More

Barack Hussein Obama II (allegedly born in Honolulu,^[1]^[2]^[3] August 4, 1961) is the 44th President of the United States, taking office on Jan. 20, 2009. Previously he served as a first-term Democratic Senator from Illinois (2004-2008) and then, along with his running mate Senator Joseph Biden, won the presidential election^[4] after twenty-three months of campaigning, raising an unprecedented $750 million and spending over $700 million of it,^[5] most of which came from anonymous donors. Post-election, Obama's aides surprised some by indicating that he would make an unprecedented speech within his first 100 days from a Muslim capital.^[6] Obama will use his Muslim middle name when sworn into office.^[7]^[8] Elected by claiming he's a Christian, Obama avoided attending church on Christmas^[9] and Sundays since Election Day.

Obama has espoused the socialist idea of "spreading the wealth,"^[10] in other words raising the tax rates on business and the wealthy to a burdensome level in order to redistribute their income to low income individuals, many of whom don't currently pay income taxes.^[11]^[12] To announce his trip to Berlin in July 2008, Obama used posters which show a marked similarity to posters of Lenin.^[13]^[14] His health care plan forces employers to purchase health care or pay a fine and will force many into a poorly run single payer system. During Obama's youth in Hawaii, he developed a strong, almost Father/Son relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, a known Communist.

Chicago, 5 November 2008

International Relations in the Age of Empire

Yes, We Can
Speech by Barack Obama -

President Elect of United States

Chicago, 5 November 2008

"..And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments

and palaces to those who are huddled

around radiosin the forgotten corners of our world –

our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared,

and a new dawn

of American leadership is at hand. ...

And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright

– tonight we proved once

more thatthe true strength of our nation

comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth,

but from the enduring power of our ideals:

democracy, liberty,opportunity, and unyielding hope.."

Reflections: "I see Obama less as a black man than as a successful negotiator

of identity margins.

His ability to inhabit so many categories mirrors the African experience.

For America to choose as its citizen in chief such

a skillful straddler of global identities could not help

but transform the nation's image,

making it once again the screen upon

which the hopes and ambitions of the world are projected." -

Francis Nyamnjoh,

Cameroonian novelist and social scientist, 5 November 2008

"(Obama's) election rivaled the day in 1862 when President Abraham Lincoln issued

the Emancipation Proclamation and

the day 101 years later when the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his

"I Have a Dream" speech.

There's never been a moment like this in our lifetime, ever...

Obama is the postmodern race man.

He can wear it, he can take it off,

he can put it back on. It's just an aspect of his identity. ..

People don't see him primarily as black.

I think people see him primarily as an agent of change."

Barack Obama is sworn in as President of USA

By Sara Nelson

The upcoming Presidential inauguration of Barack Obama is set to be a worldwide event – and is even being immortalized in LEGO.

The entire scene of the event, which will be held on the West Front of the US Capitol, has been constructed out of the colourful building blocks at Legoland California.

Obama has espoused the socialist idea of "spreading the wealth,"^[10] in other words raising the tax rates on business and the wealthy to a burdensome level in order to redistribute their income to low income individuals, many of whom don't currently pay income taxes.^[11]^[12] To announce his trip to Berlin in July 2008, Obama used posters which show a marked similarity to posters of Lenin.^[13] His health care plan forces employers to purchase health care or pay a fine and will force many into a poorly run single payer system. During Obama's youth in Hawaii, he developed a strong, almost Father/Son relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, a known Communist.^[14]

Chicago, 5 November 2008

International Relations in the Age of Empire

Yes, We Can
Speech by Barack Obama - President Elect of United StatesChicago, 5 November 2008

"..And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled

around radiosin the forgotten corners of our world –our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared,

and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. ...And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright

– tonight we proved once more thatthe true strength of our nation

comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals:

democracy, liberty,opportunity, and unyielding hope.."Reflections: "I see Obama less as a black man than as a successful negotiator

of identity margins. His ability to inhabit so many categories mirrors the African experience.

For America to choose as its citizen in chief sucha skillful straddler of global identities could not help

but transform the nation's image,making it once again the screen uponwhich the hopes and ambitions of the world are projected." -

Francis Nyamnjoh,

Cameroonian novelist and social scientist, 5 November 2008"(Obama's) election rivaled the day in 1862 when President Abraham Lincoln issued

the Emancipation Proclamation andthe day 101 years later when the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his

"I Have a Dream" speech.There's never been a moment like this in our lifetime, ever...

Obama is the postmodern race man.He can wear it, he can take it off,he can put it back on. It's just an aspect of his identity. ..

People don't see him primarily as black.I think people see him primarily as an agent of change."

Henry Louis Gates Jr.,Harvard scholar of African-American history
