BBC Film Compares Israel to Iraq

(London Jewish Chronicle) Jenni Frazer and Simon Rocker - In the BBC film, "Israel's Secret Weapon," due to be broadcast on Sunday, program presenter Olenka Frenkiel challenges former Israeli Premier Shimon Peres: "There's a cry going up talking of a double standard, that the world has to check Iraq for nuclear installations, but not Israel." A clearly angry Mr. Peres says of Saddam Hussein: "He's not a leader, he's a killer. You cannot say it of us." But Ms. Frenkiel retorts: "Even in Israel, there are some who do." The film goes on to state that Israel used "a new gas" against Palestinians in Gaza in February 2001.
