Watch "Inside Britain's Israel Lobby"!

Watch "Inside Britain's Israel Lobby"!

At 8pm on Monday 16 November 2009, Channel 4 is airing a Dispatches programme entitled "Inside Britain's Israel Lobby."

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/dispatches/episode-guide/series-42/episode-1

Dispatches investigates one of the most powerful and influential political lobbies in Britain, which is working in support of the interests of the State of Israel.

Despite wielding great influence among the highest realms of British politics and media, little is known about the individuals and groups which collectively are known as the pro-Israel lobby.

Peter Oborne - the Daily Mail's excellent political columnist who has produced admirable documentaries on Iraq and Islamophobia in Britain - sets out to establish who they are, how they are funded, how they work and what influence they have, from the key groups to the wealthy individuals who help bankroll the lobbying.

He investigates how accountable, transparent and open to scrutiny the lobby is, particularly in regard to its funding and financial support of MPs.

The pro-Israel lobby aims to shape the debate about Britain's relationship with Israel and future foreign policies relating to it.

Oborne examines how the lobby operates from within parliament and the tactics it employs behind the scenes when engaging with print and broadcast media.

Arab Media Watch urges its members and the public to watch this documentary and give feedback - details of how to do so will be provided at the end of the programme, and there is a comments section at the above link.
