It is truly despicable that the BBC interviewer adopted the Zionist line all the way.
Kudos to Haneen Zoubi who was not ruffled by the discourtesy of the Hardtalk presenter, Stephen Sakur(?), who tried hard to prevent her from responding to some of his offensive questions.

I do think that ms. Haneen Zoabi got her point accross very well. As to the remark that Stephen Sakur adopted a zionist stance,is what hard talk is all about.It would not be hard talk if he adopted a pro Palestinian view point. She really did a good job of pointing out the racism of Israel and scored well by showing what a despicable, racist regime that rules the bannana rep. of Israel.
