The BBC World Doha Debate

[aurora]

Right now there is a Special Debate on BBC World about Israel and Palestinians. Very interesting.

damn. missed it. anything to report, or is the same old?

I guess I shouldn't hold my breath for anything spectacularly inciteful from the bbc ;)

I meant insightful, but perhaps in this case the first spelling was more accurate!

Actually, I just opened it in the last 10 minutes or so and BBC has not yet posted it on its website. There were students asking questions to an Israeli man (he was someone I recognized but can't remember his name - not Olmert, someone older) He was literally telling lies, it seemed as though he was playing with the kids. One thing he told them "Don't be trapped in history, only think of the future". In other words, just live your lives and don't dig up the past to find answers. It looked like a staged show. I wish he would talk with Palestenian journalists but I don't think there will be such a debate.
