2) SEE THE PLAY THE BBC BANNED

The BBC refuses to broadcast Caryl Churchill's play Seven Jewish Children, saying it must remain "impartial", the same reason it gave for not broadcasting the Gaza emergency appeal. Does the play "articulate moral outrage" (The Guardian)? Or is it anti-semitic, as Israeli supporters say? You decide. Book Now: http://bit.ly/HSuGk
