if you know what I mean.

The BBC has often been shown to criticise Israel
The various charities have often used their adverts and spokes men to criticise Israel

It calls on Micheál Martin to table a motion at the Foreign Ministers meeting on the 26th of January calling for Israel's trade privileges to be rescinded until such time as Israel complies with its obligations under international humanitarian law.

They don't make 'em like Tony Benn any more; that courage, determination, backed by a solid knowledge of the facts, is despairingly absent from our politicians. The BBC bowed to Israeli pressure without a doubt, and one squirms to hear them say they didn't. No doubt pressure was brought to bear in Ireland on politicians to back-track on calls for the expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador. A little US nudging would have been involved too. The Israeli Embassy, meanwhile, will no doubt continue to try to recruit artists and writers here to appear on cultural platforms in Israel.
The fuzz say there were about 5K at the protest. The BBC (impartial as ever) had revised its original claim of 200 (!) up to 2K. My my!
Speeches from the protest now all up on Youtube:
