Following is a letter of appreciation from John Pilger for everyone who has and will continue to support the ongoing effort to break PBSâ censorship of the truth about the conflict between Israel and Palestine.   February 7, 2005   From:   John Pilger   "Global Information Services, led by Fred Shepherd, is to be congratulated for such an imaginative, tenacious, necessary and, above all, principled campaign to persuade public broadcasters in the United States that they have both a duty and a responsibility to show all sides of the conflict in Palestine.   My film, Palestine Is Still The Issue, shows many sides; it is neither anti-Arab, nor anti-Jewish, but pro-justice. It puts forth the little-heard case that the Palestinians are a deeply and unjustly treated people, victims of an occupation declared illegal many times under international law.  And yet most of the people appearing in the film are Israelis, some of them extraordinary, such as Rami, the father who lost his daughter in a dreadful suicide attack. Listen to him, and you will realise just how restricted has been the debate on Palestine. The Israeli settlers are given their say; the Israeli Government spokesman is the longest interview in the film. And the Palestinians you hear are voices of humanity and reason.   The Independent Television Commission, the regulatory body in Britain, examined my film minutely and concluded that it was "fair and balanced" and "expertly researched" and "made with integrity".  That PBS still has not shown this film is shaming, and I call on its professionals to reconsider."   John Pilger I too wish to thank everyone involved in this campaign. Please forward Mr. Pilger's message where appropriate.   Best regards, Fred Shepherd "The world is too dangerous to live in - not because of the people who do evil, but because of the people who sit and let it happen."
