2. Melanie Phillips wrong on Gaza aid

On Jan 26, Daily Mail columnist Melanie Phillips wrote that Hamas "has
intercepted dozens of aid trucks and confiscated food and medical supplies
bound for the UN aid stores in Gaza," and that people are unaware of this
because "the BBC's reporters haven't told them."

She uses this "claim" to justify her support for the BBC's decision not to
broadcast an appeal for donations by Britain's largest charities to help the
relief effort in Gaza. However, the reason why most people in Britain have no
idea about this allegation, and why the BBC has not reported it, is because it
is untrue.
