BBC'S COVERAGE OF CONFLICT IN ISRAEL AND LEBANON

Early day motion 2626, tabled 24 July 2006 by Charles Walker (Conservative). Signed by 16 members.

That this House abhors the loss of life on all sides, but acknowledges the right of Israel to defend itself from attacks by terrorist organisations largely funded by the ruthless dictatorships of Iran and Syria, two countries dedicated to the destruction of Israel; and urges the BBC to reflect this fact in its coverage of the conflict.

Signatures by party: Conservative 7, DUP 7, Labour 2.
