Sensational Victory of Justice in Paris

                            Take-A-Pen's Chairman Endre Mozes reports from the courtroom, on 21 May 2008:

The Verdict: Philippe Karsenty is 'Not Guilty'! 
France-2’s Al-Dura movie may be rightly called “a total fake”, “totally staged”!

- Was France-2's Mohammed Al Dura film in 2000 a revelation of Israeli brutality, or one more irresponsible distribution of one more false Palestinian accusation of Israel, with a murder it never committed? Fact: it became a powerful blood libel.

- For years the world believed to the France-2 film.

- Now the Paris Court's verdict acknowledged the evidence collected in years: it is legitimate to call the Palestinian-made France-2 Al-Dura movie a "totally staged forgery", a "hoax".

- This is a breakthrough. The crucial question now is: will this truth spread in the world as the libel did? This may have historical impacts. Click here to read the whole article

Call for Letter-Writing:

Most important now - to spread the truth about the Al- Dura forgery.  Write a Letter to the Editor of your paper; request/demand that they inform readers on the Al-Dura truth - See Sample Letter at:

Media Realignment Campaign

to:  "Questions Remain Over BBC Response"
Tuesday, June 17 2008

I appreciate very much HR's thorough article criticising the BBC's complaints procedure. However it seems maybe a bit naive to see the main difficulties in their cumbersomeme complaints website. The experience of our people is more similar to "lederman"'s: ("i have complained several times to the BBC... They never write back"). To his question "Is there a higher authority above the BBC...?", I can warmly suggest to turn major complaints (on larger than a one-time local problem) to the Chairman of the BBC Board of Governors, which is above and not part of the current BBC activity.
A most relevant reading is: "Handling Major Complaints by the BBC" - on  
http://www.take-a-pen.org/english/Articles/Art21112005.htm  

Take-A-Pen vs. the BBC !!!    -  Take-A-Pen sent 5 large Submissions to the 'Independent Impartiality Review' on the BBC.    
 
         (I) BBC's "Jenin–massacre" that never was ;
  (II) Handling Major Complaints by the BBC;   
 

(III) Does the BBC employ a 'Hamas man'?

  (IV) BBC - an Accomplice to Terrorism? 
Read in Finnish, Spanish, Russian, Dutch and other languages:
 BBC – osallinen terrorismiin?   -   Es la BBC complice del terrorismo? БиБиСи – соучастница террористов? - BBC - medeplichtig aan terreur?   
 

(V) BBC coverage of the battle of Jenin – the so-called demolition of a refugee camp

BBC KNOWS THE TRUTH: SUICIDE BOMBINGS ARE TERROR  but usually prefers not to tell this truth loudly.
** BBC Analysis: Palestinian suicide attacks **
Palestinian suicide attacks aim to kill and injure as many people as possible, and create the greatest amount of fear.

Success: Volunteers defeated anti-Israeli incitement in Melbourne

British Lecturers Defeat Israel Boycott   May 27, 2005
The UK's Association of University Teachers overturned their previous decision to boycott Haifa and Bar-Ilan universities in Israel in a dramatic two-to-one vote in London on Thursday. The 40,000-member Union voted last month, without debate, without sufficient quorum and so in a way many saw as illegal, to boycott the Israeli academic institutions for what it alleged were actions that undermined Palestinian rights and academic freedom. There has been a wide international protest against the previous anti-Israeli boycott decision being clearly a politicaL step and against free talk. This time the anti-boycott decision followed "a passionate but measured debate," what many delegates praised.

Staged desperation

Watch out for co-liars - this is the way the press cheats us

You’ve probably seen dozens of pictures of Palestinian women crying. The wire services love ’em, decent people sympathize with them.
We all were misled once or more.
Have a look now for a second behind the scenes. Today another revealing photo slipped through the ideological filters, showing the scene as a Palestinian woman performs for a hungry battery of cameramen, staged carefully in front of a picturesque section of the security wall.

By mere co-incidence she chose the English inscription where to cry. One look at the smiling child on the right side makes it clear that this kid well understands the cheating media circus. Is it possible that hundreds of news editors and human right organizations do not?"
