No wonder the aupply of 7.62X39 has been scant. One can only hope a reasonable proportion of these rounds were ‘gimmicked’ to detonate in the rifle...

The word “collaborator” used to be the most vile insult in several languages in post-WW2 Europe.

Those days, like that generation, are gone.

The folks at the Beeb seem themselves as citizens of the world; not British, and certainly not people who would ally themselves with the evil Bush.

This was just a transaction to free a fellow citizen of the world who was being held by people who are victims of the Americans and Jews.

That’s just the way they look at it.

Although one could put one's self in Johnston's shoes and thank their lucky stars, a sobering thought is that the money will not last. If this is confirmed, then it surely means that some luckless devil, will eventually be kidnapped. How could this not be?

I believe that Johnston fell over himself to support the anti-Jewish cause. If this is wrong, then I stand corrected.

There are but few, who can recall the BBC in WW2. We would tune in to their overseas service. There would be a prolonged hush. Then a majestic voice- authoritative and lordly would sound off.

Ici Londres.....This is London.

Then Beethoven's Fifth would start. It would sound the V sign in morse code. People risked the concentration camp (so we were told) to tune in. This in occupied Europe.

Gone with the bloomin' wind.

“Would Wilson and other BBC officials also now like to comment on this report in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida – especially located by my sources in Gaza – that Jaysh Al-Islam (the so-called Army of Islam group who were holding Johnston) received $5 million and a million Kalashnikov rifle bullets in the deal to release Johnston?”

This is good news for the families of anyone killed or injured by Jaysh Al-Islam. They can now sue the BBC for damages.

[Chode]

the family of anybody killed by hamas now... should be able to sue the BBC out of existence!!!

I think British TV license-payers are entitled to know what is done with their money.

And if they aren't mad as Hades, they deserve what they get.

[bill1952]

I’m scratchimh my head on this one.

While I do understand that the BBC is apparently salivating over the prospect of starting to murder Jewish children again - after all, the job wasn’t properly finished by 1945, now was it? - I do not see how this is even remotely legal under modern anti terrorist laws. and Hamas is designated a terrorist group, yes?

[traviskicks]

i’d be interested in the followup of this story.

[weegee]

The British hanged Lord Haw Haw after WWII. Start the treason trials within the BBC. No vigilante justice, by the books law and order, those who aid terrorists need to pay the price.

[American in Israel]

If the BBC delivered arms to Hamas, according to American Constitutional law, Britain would be a non trade, terrorist sponsoring country as the BBC is a government news service.

What difference between the US State Department giving 20 Million in cash to Fatah and the British Government giving arms to Hamas is simply that they are not “our terrorists”, Fatah is.

[A CA Guy]

The reporter should have been allowed to diem rather than give terrorist 5 million in seed money and millions of bullets all of which will kill far more than one reporter.

The heads of the BBC that did this belong in jail for life IMO.

[bert]

Not to worry, BBC,CBS and Perkie Katy are in negotiations to dock her salary to pay for the extortion money paid to HAMAS
