Perhaps is Mr Pipes is so concerned with matters of Freedom of Speech, debate etc , he could give us a reason why the film by John Pilger about the massacre of Civilians at Sabra and Shitalla (most of them women and children and old men) has never been shown on any television in the USA. The massacre was facilitated by the Israeli officer in charge, Ariel Sharon. If freedom of speech is so important why is it this film and others have never been shown in the USA. The only view that is allowed to be shown is one that is favorable to Israel and portraying all Palestinians to terrorist. Where is the protest about this.
