Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Protesters in London angry at Israel's massacre of unarmed Palestinians in Gaza and the BBC's failure to headline the murders as well as its pro-Israel bias. Although the rally was only called at short notice and had not received any publicity in Britain's mainstream media, a surprisingly large number of demonstrators - about six hundred - gathered in Whitehall, opposite the Prime Minister's office at Downing Street, in central London.
The previous day, Friday 6 April, ten unarmed Palestinians protesting close to the Gaza border fence with Israel had been shot dead by elite snipers from the Israeli Occupation Forces. The fatalities included photojournalist Yaser Mutarja who, as can been seen clearly from the well documented film footage and the photographs of other journalists, was wearing a clearly labelled PRESS jacket at the time. He was fatally wounded and died in the early hours of Saturday morning. News stations and media outlets across the developing world covered the story in depth. Even the liberal Israeli newspaper Haaretz belatedly carried a headline - "Palestinian Journalist Wearing Press Jacket Killed by Israeli Fire in Gaza". However, on Saturday morning, BBC World News devoted barely a minute to what it had previously termed "clashes" in Gaza, and in what it now termed merely "deadly unrest." A total of 31 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli live-ammunition in the previous eight days since the "Land Protests" had started, demanding justice for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, the end of Israel's blockade of Gaza and the right of refugees to return to their homes from which they have been illegally forced to leave. |
