BBC refuses to show emergency relief appeal for Gaza

There has been broad condemnation of the decision by the British public service broadcaster the BBC to refuse to show an appeal for humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza organised by the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) of aid charities. The corporation is the only terrestrial broadcaster in the United Kingdom to refuse to air the appeal, which aims to raise funds to provide emergency relief to the thousands of Palestinians facing a humanitarian catastrophe in the war-torn Gaza Strip.

Blowing in the Wind, performed by ScabsNabs

"Blowing in the Wind" is a beautiful iconic 1960s protest song from the best decade of the 20th century, by the brilliant Bob Dylan. With today's horrible wars, ethnic cleansing, genocide, rampant Capitalism and the decline in socialism, this song is more relevant than ever, and I have been moved to make my own version.
