   “In recent years, defending Israel against its many enemies has assumed mandatory proportions.

With the result our Foreign Service abroad is filled with media dullards.”

3. Why I Won’t Talk To The BBC
   By Douglas Davis

   Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

   “In my judgment, the volume and intensity of this unchallenged diatribe has now transcended mere criticism of Israel. Hatred is in the air. Wittingly or not, I am convinced that the BBC has become the principal agent for reinfecting British society with the virus of anti-Semitism. And that is a game I am not willing to play . . . “

   “BBC openly serves Arab Palestinian interests. This is its mindset. If this is disputed let the BBC hold its record up to the light of public scrutiny and be judged.

6. The Apartheid Label –
   Israel Must Get Rid Of It

   Saturday, June 3rd, 2006

   “This is a dangerous situation which dare not be ignored. If we have learned anything from the recent past it is that we cannot afford to lose the PR war of words. Palestinian lies must be exposed, fully, forcefully and repeatedly. On network TV, the most powerful opinion forming medium. And in every other forum where the big apartheid lie is published.”

   Friday, December 2nd, 2005

   “A recent BBC film Israel’s Secret Weapons, devoted to exposing Israel as a prime international threat worse than Saddam Hussein, is a prime example of how the European media vilifies Israel.
