Thank you, Mr Landes. The MSM in Europe is surprisingly quiet on this. The BBC, for example, has used its own licence-payers money (we don’t have a choice but to pay this “tax”) to fight a Freedom-of-Information suit to suppress a report (the Balen Report) on its own bias in Palestine reporting. As Mr Thomson says, there would seem to be collusion here on an unknown scale. As Melanie Phillips has noted, this is a modern Drefuss affair, but it may involve more than just France.

I’ll bet they try to doctor the footage, so the testimony of those who have seen all of it will be vital. Keep the pressure up.
