First time I tried to post this it disappeared so I'll try again and if two copies show up, apologies in advance.

It seems even the msm are losing patience with the lying murdering sociopaths that the apartheid state puts up for intereviews. Perhaps temporary but long overdue:

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

Note this prick is the former director of Labour Friends of Israel. Quite telling in itself.

Had to smile at the alacrity with which this lying, murderous prick took the flimsiest of opportunities and tried to divert away from the killings and prattle on about concrete and how it is used by Hamas.
These people are the absolute scum of the earth.

It's worth asking relevant and probing questions, but Krishnan overdoes it, he demeans the tragedy. Dive in, moral outrage in overdrive: "Do you apologise, yes or no?" And gives the interviewee no time to answer, merely repeating this same question.. And isn't Piers Morgan "do you condemn Hamas?" iexactly the same. And, I don't know, how exactly has our newly emboldened interviewer approached Israeli spokespeople previously? And in any case, is an "apology" in any way important? These folk, along with 33,000 others are now dead, no apology is worth that much realistically, is it? Why insist on this? So, is it the case that the problem here is that 3 Brits have been killed, not so much 33,000 Palestinians in the prior five months. I couldn't bring myself to watch the rest of the interview.

He's been as bad as the rest with Levy and Regev and their co-genocide defenders. The entire m.s.m. is moving into restricted outrage mode now, heightened by the deaths of...gasp....westerners.

He's at least trying to prevent the hasbara trolls from just deflectig and launching into their prepared talking points but it's in no way harsh enough, and nowhere in my post do I suggest that it is or that is perfect. Surely even if it is the equivalent of the routine, "Do you condemn Hamas?" badgering then it's more equal than previously, albeit not particularly constructive?

It's already been noted, most effectively by Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada, that the strongest reaction to the apartheid state's genocide has only come about when some Brits have been killed. He tweeted quite savagely against the head of the aid organisation they were from, as he had previously been supporting their "right to defend themself", etc.

He's also slipped into the "shady security company, ex-special force" stuff that I noted in a post above but nobody's perfect and when it comes to Palestine Ali is one of the strongest voices.

I don’t have a problem with finally and openly breaking the veneer of credibility.

At all.

The only appropriate alternative is to starve them of the oxygen of publicity entirely. Where have we heard that phrase before?

I'd like them to be voiced over like Thatcher made the news do to the provos but their voices should be Homer Simpson or Bugs Bunny although that would taint great characters with their association with the apartheid state.

Just not letting them blatantly lie would be a start. Recapping all the times they've lied through their teeth would be a good defense but that would take the same time as the entire news bulletin.

There's definitely some signs of people losing patience with their shit but as soon as the murdering stops, and after a sufficiently long period of pretence, I expect they'll go back to normal service.

How about having them subtitled in an edit of "Der Untergang".
