The BBC has confirmed that it will not be broadcasting the charity appeal for aid in Gaza this evening.
Amidst fears that showing the message would compromise the corporation's objectivity, the director general Mark Thompson announced that the BBC would not be following the lead of Channel 4, ITV and Five.
"You see, it would be partial of the BBC to say anything that portrays Israel as anything other than a shining bastion of peace and justice.
"It's crucial that the BBC fulfills its loyal role as a propaganda arm of the government.
"When Gordon selected me for this job, he did so on the grounds that I would not show anything that may usurp the foreign policy goals of his allies.
"It would therefore be unfair to suggest that dying Palestinians are worth anything and should be helped."
