Not surprisingly the the reporter tried to "prompt' him with inserting Bethlehem into the conversation. But Dr.Williams I'm happy to say gave the reporter short shrift,i.e he gave her nothing of what I think she was looking for. There was no I repeat no crticism of Israel. After all the subject Dr.williams was talking about was ethnic cleansing of christians by muslims and he kept to the subject at hand.<br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13766009Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12501400749166860813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-82188285026688242752011-12-26T19:41:43.762+11:002011-12-26T19:41:43.762+11:00Thanks, Anon who gave me the latest link.
Donniso...Thanks, Anon who gave me the latest link.<br /><br />Donnison's piece resolutely fails to give Israel's resons for having to erect a security barrier in the first place, second Anon. It is typical biased BBC fodder. And there's plenty more of that on the BBC website this Christmas.<br />btw, your juvenile use of the sexist "Sheila" does you little credit.

Donnison script eeriely echoes the text in this piece...starting from the 'dying breed' headline.<br /><br />If this were 'academia', he would fall foul of plagiarism.<br /><br />PS I am Catholic and recognise the emotional intent of the 'shepherd/flock and angel' emotion. It is unacceptable to use Christian symbols of the second most important festival to make political points. Pure propaganda.<br /><br /><br /><br />http://uprootedpalestinian.wordpress.com/2010/12/26/in-bethlehem-shepherds-watching-their-flocks-by-night-are-a-dying-breed/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-73480885239249277452011-12-25T20:00:50.204+11:002011-12-25T20:00:50.204+11:00That's interesting!!!What an unholy nexus.Than...That's interesting!!!What an unholy nexus.Thanks.Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-13064416368739658882011-12-25T08:56:21.674+11:002011-12-25T08:56:21.674+11:00It's not even novel, the Guardian did the same...It's not even novel, the Guardian did the same story last year, even interviewing the same shepherd<br />Dec 23, 2010 "In Bethlehem, shepherds watching their flocks by night are a dying breed" by Ana Carbajosa<br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/23/bethlehem-shepherds-dying-breed<br /><br />T34Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-91307178012072961862011-12-25T05:52:54.220+11:002011-12-25T05:52:54.220+11:00Ha!
