Phone them and say you'd like to see it. Thanks M for the little bit of info. Doing any little bit feels better than sitting around despondent.

Hi folks,

This might be useful for the RTE TV news.

Al Jazeera have a creative commons repository which permits people reuse their their footage of their Gaza related coverage in an attempt to help get the truth of the situation out - a tacit criticism of other mainstream media. RTE as a public service broadcaster could use this material at no cost. People in Ireland would I imagine be very interested to see the reality there at present. I have looked at the footage and it is of very high wquality and I would imagine you could make a news feature out of it without difficulty
