Israel to lobby ABC over nerve gas documentary - July 1 2003
The Israeli government will lobby Australia's national broadcaster to ditch plans to screen a controversial BBC documentary on the Jewish state.
The program, Israel's Secret Weapon, asserts that Israel has used nerve gas against Palestinians and possesses an arsenal of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.
ABC Television today said the program would be screened but it had not yet been scheduled.
Israel's ambassador to Australia, Gaby Levy, said he would ask the ABC to reconsider airing the program.
Head of Israel's government press service, Daniel Seaman, said the BBC program bordered on Nazi propaganda and anti-Semitism.

Israeli officials have been banned from appearing on the BBC as a result of the program and visa restrictions have been imposed on BBC journalists.
But Mr Levy said no such action would be taken against the ABC because it was not involved in the documentary's production.
"I'm going to of course appeal to the ABC and tell them what our arguments are for them to reconsider (screening) it," Mr Levy told AAP.
"We're not going to take any measures simultaneously with what we're doing with the BBC in Israel, it's not the same."
Mr Levy said the program demonised Israel and was the latest chapter in the BBC's anti-Israel campaign.
"The thrust of the program was demonising Israel by presenting and portraying it as a pariah state, a country of the axis of evil if you want," he said.
"Every country has a right to have secrets if they belong to its own security, self-defence and so on."
A publicist with ABC TV said it was not known when the documentary would be aired.
"It's definitely in our system, we will be showing it, we just don't know when," she said.

Another sign of Israel's manipulation of the media. I wonder how much more is being swept under the carpet. Remember that story of the Israeli soldier who ran into a house and shot a woman and her children for no reason. There was a reporter behind the soldier who captured everything on videotape, and was planning to present it to the public through his TV station. The Israeli government kept begging the station not to air this footage. Does anyone know what ended up happening? Did they air it, or did the Israeli government once again manage to buy themselves out of the truth?

That is fucked up, it's a shame many people still fail to realize the manupilation going on. There must be a lot of stuff like that being swept under the carpet which we don't realize. Peace.
