Council suspends two for Gaza email
15 Jan 2009TWO workers who paralysed the communications system of Tower Hamlets council when they sent an email showing disturbing pictures of violence in Gaza were suspended for a day.
They posted it to 2,500 people including the chief executive, communications director and councillors.
The message urged them to sign a petition. A council spokesman said the email was not being treated as anti-Semitic but she admitted it was offensive to some staff.

I wonder if they would show the video you can see on You Tube, Children of Hamas, showing how Hamas gunmen forcibly drag Palestinian children into harm's way with other 'human shields.' You don't get much of that on BBC. Sky or CNN, but I am afraid it happens.
