We refer you to our previous item. The story: Someone posted an item at BBC 5Live Messageboards concerning the speech by Ron Prosor http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/2100428/Israel%27s-ambassador-says-Britain-has-become-a-hotbed-of-radical-anti-Israeli-feeling.html. In the first discussion the poster highlighted the Academic Boycott element of his speech. That thread was Hidden for some unknown reason.

A second attempt to make a post about this titled "UK Hotbed of anti-Israeli sentiment " with a minimalist comment was made to completely disappear!!!!

In the case of the Academic angle on Ron Prosor's item they simply left the discussion in place but Hid it so that no more discussion could take place. But to COMPLETELY REMOVE AND SEND INTO OBLIVION a similar post seems draconian and highly suspicious.

But then somethjing very strange happened. After we spotted this and highlighted it with evidence they had completely removed the posting, and after someone had further put it up as a news item at LGF - Lo And Behold THEY PUT IT BACK. Most likely having been caught out they had to do something since they couldn't deny the post ever existed.

But then they tried to justify what they did:-
