aren't producing a parody of someone's suffering.

I dont have an agenda
Hamas suck balls.. rockets into Isreal suck balls.. a third of casualties, over 300 of them being innocent children who were all ready given the worst possible start in life?
Its fucked up, thats all im saying.
And saying that doesn't mean i support Hamas or hate Isreal.
To be fair the IRA were up to far worse in the troubles, there were bad things perpetrated by the British government, but not like this?

This
Supporting the rights of Palestinians not to be exploded doesn't mean supporting Hamas.
I'm on the side of civilians in this conflict (of which many more happen to have been Palestinian), Not Israel or Palestine. The 'leaders' of both need to fuck off.

it was just eclipsed by the comic parody of the Palestinian woman. After seeing the sketch, that was the overwhelming thing I was left with.
Surely you aren't claiming that it's sensitive to depict a parody of someone suffering, while the conditions that cause the real version of that character still exist. And the BBC have guidelines which would frown upon commissioning such a piece, if the UK was involved in a similar conflict.
So the original statement still stands.

I think
The BBC is doing the best coverage it can, considering that Israel won't let any journalists into Gaza. I wonder why that might be...
