#1 It's no way to treat a friend of the Palestinian people

I can think of a few ways to deal with "friends of the Palestinian people".

#2 UK taxpayers to fund Paleos overtly through "aid" or covertly through "not really ransom, more of a 'understanding' between two peoples of good will."

#3 As I've said before, I hope he's released soon. The Palestinian journalists' "threat" has so many layers of rich irony and hilarity, like a fine wine, that I have trouble finding the words to describe it.

Very well done, tu3031. The quality of postings around here lately is just outstanding.

#4 Please release me, lemme go
And I will whore for you some more
To waste our dough would be a sin
Release me and capture me again

#5 "Hostages are frequently used as bargaining chips to gain concessions from the Palestinian Authority, and so far all have been released unharmed."

Oh really? I think the family of Corporal Shalit might take issue with that statement.

Maybe they meant to insert "all infidel reporters/collaborators" before the clause "released unharmed"?

My dark, shrivelled little heart actually hopes this BBC tool is returned to his bureau in several different pieces. Let the BBC brass consider that result before sending another of their propoganda agents to serve those barbarians.

#7 I'm amazed that the BBC has any fingers left at all. They've been feeding the crocodile for ever so long now.
