DEC Gaza Appeal

[andygates]

With the BBC refusing to show the DEC Gaza appeal ad (spineless feckers), here's the gen: it's a rubble pile and the civilians aren't exactly having a great time.  DEC don't fire off appeals willy-nilly, only when it's really grim for lots of people, and DEC are not political.  They can get the aid to the people on the ground, because they already are.  Here's the donation form.

They say it would run counter to BBC neutrality, which is odd considering that the Beeb is partisan compared to the fanatically-maintained neutrality of the Red Cross.

Why one and not the other? Memes, man, nothing but memes. Stick some dying babies on the telly and the Congo will get more support.
