I'm not familiar with Israel Insider. Is this an authoritative source? If true, it certainly looks as if Israel has decided to take decisive action.

In response, BBC News Director Richard Sambrook said, "We regret that the Israelis felt the need to take this action but we stand behind the veracity of the film."
Jerks. If Iraq's Saddam Hussein had told them they were cutting ties, the BBC would probably be sending chocolates and flowers to woo them back. But I guess since the journalist left only airs makes up Yassar propaganda they felt they really didn't need a presence in Israel.

If so, Israel joins Britain's aircraft carrier Arc Royal in banning the lying BBC. Good company.

It's about time, Israel. They and their socialist alphabets in the USA have been selling out Israel for years! Bravo.
