BBC Refuses to Air Appeal for Palestinian Victims in Gaza
---------------------------------------------------------



Meanwhile, the BBC is continuing to come under criticism for refusing to
broadcast an appeal by aid agencies for Palestinian victims of Israel’s
recent military actions in Gaza. The three-minute appeal aired on many
British channels last night. The charities behind the appeal include the
Red Cross, Oxfam, Save the Children, and Christian Aid. Rupert Murdoch’s
Sky News also refused to air the appeal.
