On the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks Atwan opined: “The events of 11 September will be remembered as the end of the US empire. This is because all empires collapse when they pursue the arrogance of power…”
…

ooo
This is the Palestinian Arab who has, somehow, got UK citizenship and is repeatedly treated as an honoured guest on BBC’s notorious Dateline.
What else has the fanatic said?
‘If the Iranian missiles strike Israel, by Allah, I will go to Trafalgar Square and dance with delight’.
Oh, and a few more gems.
He expressed sympathy with the insurgency against the US-led 2003 invasion of Iraq. Commenting on former president Saddam Hussein’s extrajudicial execution he said that he would “go to the gallows with his head held high, because he built a strong united Iraq without sectarianism”.
ooooooo
In March 2008, Atwan said that the Mercaz HaRav shooting, in which a Palestinian gunman killed eight students (aged 15 to 26), “was justified”. He added that the Mercaz HaRav yeshiva is responsible for “hatching Israeli extremists and fundamentalists..”
And it is not just Dateline he gets to strut his stuff on – his wikipedia entry adds the following…
…he is a regular guest on Dateline London on BBC World, Sky News, Al Jazeera English and CNN World, as well as on several Arabic-language networks. He has contributed articles to British newspapers including The Guardian, The Mail on Sunday, and The Herald (Glasgow). He is a columnist for Gulf News.
He was on Dateline again yesterday, in yet another chorus line of Trumpophobic ranters.

UK tax-payers are coerced into subsidising this mockery of impartial broadcasting!
Has the BBC no shame?
If the brute does his dance of death in London, will they feature it as a special edition of their popular ‘Come Dancing’ show?

As far as I know, it’s true what you say about the BBC refusing to show the Prime Minister’s video. They will no doubt respond to any criticism by saying they can choose what and who they include.
So if they include that raving anti-Israel advocate of violence, we mere UK tax-payers, who pay all BBC salaries and production costs, have no right to dispute their irresponsibilty.

I don’t care much if I don’t get to hear what Johnson thinks we ought hear, but I see your point. He is the PM.
However, how dare the BBC knowingly invite this supporter of lethal violence to be part of their weekend conversazione?
Strip them of all public funding.

Johnson gets no sympathy from me, nor should he from you.
By putting out his ‘message’ on his Facebook page, he excludes all the good people, including, I believe, yourself, who have been censored out of Zuckerberg’s empire.
Not that I miss hearing Bojo.
Even if he had been on the BBC I would have been out celebrating.
Of course you are right about the BBC being a disgrace for giving the Deathwish Dancer ( you have a knack for coining good nicknames) an audience of millions.
As an institution, it is worthless.
