Balfour declaration part 2. What about the 1000s of Palestinians held in Isreal? No one talks about those hostages.

This whole segment did not once attempt to interview a Palestinian person in Gaza what *they* think about any of this. Not one journalist, academic, professional or official. All we get are the perspectives of a family member of an Israeli hostage, and an academic in America. But the Palestinians remain nothing more than cardboard characters while others debate their fate. So much for BBC impartiality.
