At least they allowed them in. Media blackout in Gaza for 18 months.

This is what happens when a dictator is in power and doesn't want to leave his place. These dictators are a threat to democracy in the world. These dictators create problems for our freedom. They don't understand that people want to decide for themselves. They leave.

BBC should ask their Israeli masters for allowing them to report from Gaza

[Keptristan]

I mean America is doing the same thing

[scottishbanjo]

Well at least he was allowed in in the first place unlike in Gaza

[MS-fm]

[fazelkhan]

When Western Govts do this kind of thing its not even reported and they call them themselves democracies but let it be Arab Islamic or African they want to shout out aloud .Damn these Treacherous hypocrites

BBC should spend more time discussing the erosion of democracy in it's best friend America. Leave Turkey to do their own thing.

[princesaye]

Is that not the same Erdogyn who was lecturing Israel a few months ago about democracy and human rights?

[Lets.be.reasonable]

The scary thing about life is that people's brains can go bad from disease and other problems and sometimes these people get into power, this can have devastating consequences for the world and countries should do more to get people out when their brains have gone bad, history suggests it doesnt end well going against the masses and to make this kind of mistake would require some kind of disease or malfunction in the brain.
