The program raises more questions than it answers, specifically whether UK political parties should raise their campaigning funds via Pro-Israeli businessmen and Pro-Israeli lobbyist groups. The way these particular interests flood the conference centers with their united voice undermines real democracy in a country already pandering to foreign interests against the wishes of the UK electorate. Mr Blair's role in Israel is still questionable, especially when you consider the land grabbing going on illegally and the building of shopping malls and houses by supposedly british businessmen or their intermediaries. I have always argued that the Govt. has created too many quango's and so called business forums who appear to be unaccountable and whose operations are a mystery to the public. Perhaps we need to see a culling of these shady organisations, given their links to Pro-Israeli interests. As for bullying the BBC and Guardian newspapers into retracting certain reports and/or articles due to inaccuracies. Perhaps the same accusers should look at their own inaccuracies, both historically and more recent. Bullying, intimidation and threats are the methods used by pro-israeli supporters, and this brings great shame on the larger jewish population in Britain. As for the alleged attacks on Jews in UK, I believe this is unfounded, and whilst there may have been instances of this in London, this is as much to do with increased reporting than actual events. There are more attacks on muslims and indians in UK, according to statistics than Jews. Finally, to call everyone who criticises Israel as anti-semitic is to stifle open discussion and debate. Whilst this method may work in Israel, it will not work in a country that has as its core value freedom of speech, and human rights. Whilst Israel has still to get a grip on these fundamental tenants of humanity, it has no right to withdraw them from its own citizens. 'In war, truth is the first casualty' Aeschylus.
