As a Nazi *fairy dust*(excreta). My mother told me that in the War you had to listen EARLY to get real news. We had the truth about this racist turd on Radio 4 at first - then our masters got to work. WHY does the BBC spend so much of its news broadcasts on this alien deader?

WHY does the BBC spend so much of its news broadcasts on this alien deader? Because they're a news outlet and that's their job. Regardless of your opinion of this murdering B*ed, he's been big news for a very long time. Drrrrrr. |

We get more about this murderous and distant Nazi colony than of any part of the UK, except perhaps Scotland, when it suits the tories. |

Because the Israeli invasion and occupation of Palestine is the cause of many of the world's conflicts at the moment. That makes it news, more so when you realise how much military trade the UK does with that mess of a country we know as Israel. |

Which can be blamed on the British government that had no authority under Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations to give away any part of Palestine to the European Jews that the British authorized with the Mandate for Palestine. The British government is fully responsible for the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the British government is exclusively responsible for the immigration authorization of European Jews to Palestine after 1922 where they were established as their own political entity as opposed to becoming a part of a singular Palestinian government. It was the British that created a divided Palenstine that eventually evolved into the Israeli and Arab separation of the territory of Palestine.

Bit hard to argue with that. The British governments of the times pooped on the carpet and the Americans have been treading it in for many years.. |

The entire problem originates with "colonialism" that is based upon the oppression of the native people of a land and explotation of the native people and/or natural resources for political/economic gain. Why, at the end of WW I the League of Nations allowed the British, a colonial power, to become the "Mandatory" over Palestine (including Transjordan at the time) remains a puzzlement. Addtionally the League of Nations allowed the British Mandate for Palestine which was about the colonialization of Palestine (separate from Transjordan) by European Jews that expressly stated they wanted to take away the homeland from the existing non-Jewish population to create a "Jewish" state is also one of the most puzzling questions of history. None of this was authorized by Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations that addressed this territory of the former Turkish Empire so why was it allowed?
I have often stated that next to the Treaty of Versailles that many historians cite as the reason behind the rise of the Nazis in Germany and WW II that the British Mandate for Palestine was the second worst document of the 20th Century.

One assumes there was cash in it somewhere; that's the usual reason.
However, whilst colonialism is generally bad, it also changed the world in many ways and, in the long run, assisted many countries.
Singapore and Malaysia come to mind as they did very well out of the colonial legacy.
India can hardly complain either.
On a personal note, the spread of English as the international language of pretty much everything did me more than a few favours.
