was also pulled from the b.b.c. website the network told me that this was due to copyright issues and this very video raises the question about whether such tactics may be more widespread among the opposition than what has been previously documented they have yet to draw the same level of scrutiny as the crimes committed by the government were tallaght in syria is met with more whether by the government or the rebels the violence seems to be the name of the game and he further shatters the prospects for peace agreement reality for the civilians caught in this bitter war. for r.t. and moscow american author and foreign university lecturer kavin brett thinks the show's the tactics of western mainstream journalism to. it's pretty obvious what happened which is that the b.b.c. reported some news that higher ups in the western intelligence apparatus don't want them to report so they forced them to take it out and that doesn't surprise me at all that's just one example of many examples of b.b.c. complicity in this military agenda you know the b.b.c.

she was crushed and she clambered on a mound of trying to escape so my mind that's absolutely no doubt that he would have seen a this but it represents a want what happened on that day in the israeli military. for such crimes and that culture impunity is specific tainted fortunately sometimes by the courts who deliberately turn a blind guy of course the main shoulders on which. is the gaza strip it's full of civilians almost every area civilian and so the israeli government to say we refuse to treat anyone in this area. given that human rights because we've given it this particular name. coachmen treasonable happy to me i think that's just me serving that responsibility. well we've also been following the proceedings in record case on our web site and that's where you can find
