Yesh-Din: "Nine Israeli human rights organizations collectively called on the Prime Minister and other senior government officials, warning of a 'clear and present danger to the lives and well-being of tens of thousands of civilians'. Israeli human rights organizations Adalah, Amnesty International's Israel Section, Bimkom, B'Tselem, Gisha, Hamoked, Public Committee Against Torture in Israel, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel and Yesh Din called on the Government of Israel to act immediately to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
In a letter sent to Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Military Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi, Yesh Din demands the immediate removal of Chief Military Rabbi, Brigadier General Avichai Rontzki. The organization Breaking the Silence recently gave Yesh Din a booklet distributed by the Chief Military Rabbinate to soldiers before entering Gaza. The booklet includes political messages and degrading and belittling messages that border on incitement and racism against the Palestinian people. Other messages can be interpreted as a call to act outside of the confines of international laws of war."
Scotsman: "Actors and directors have warned the BBC they will not work for the corporation again if it does not broadcast the Gaza charity appeal."
Don't pay your BBC tax.
