After screening ads for the Disasters Emergency Comittee, a coalition of humanitarian charities, after and during such conflicts as Darfur, Rwanda and Congo, and natural disasters in China, Pakistan, Indonesia and Thailand in recent years, the BBC nas refused to show a similar ad to raise money for the people of Gaza.
They say it's because they don't want to compromise their impartiality.
The only other time they've refused to run ads for DEC - after the last Israeli conflict in Lebanon.

Does anyone else see a pattern emerging?
