Press.TV is airing a 13 part series called “Hart of the Matter” – a programme committed to telling viewers the truth – the truth about who must do what and why if the Palestine problem, the cancer at the heart of international affairs, is to be cured before it consumes us all.
The programme’s mission is to set a new agenda for informed and honest debate by addressing questions which the mainstream media and almost all politicians are too frightened to ask. My guests for the first series’ conversations are men and women of all faiths and none, most of them voices which powerful vested interests would prefer citizens not to hear.
In the first part of this 13 part series, I invite you to get to know me because I believe you have a right and a need to know what a presenter’s experience is and how it has shaped his thinking.

i truly admire the work of Alan hart-he's a legend, i recommend his book to everyone (especially muslims and jews here in the uk) and i hope and pray that the creation of a Palestinian state is imminent.
Dear Imran,
Very many thanks for your kind comment. It is much appreciated. Because my book and I do not exist so far as Zionism and all supporters of Israel right or wrong are concerned, and because it and them have used, and are using, all their awesome influence to limit distribution of the book and suppress the informed and honest debate it was written to assist, I need all the help I can get to draw attention to my efforts to tell the truth of history.
It would be appreciated if you would let your network of contacts know about my blog, my twitter account (http://www.twitter.com/alanauthor) and be sure to subscribe yourself.
Very best wishes,
Alan
hi, alan,
i'm a maori living in aotearoa (new zealand) and our struggle is more about rebuilding what little crumbs we have left of our culture from the destructive forces of colonization (and to many extents, we're still fighting the same forces for the litttle we have left)- so seeing and reading your work about what is truely happening now in middle east and palestine is heart-rendering, because it's what my great-great & great grandparents fought hard against, and lost to much more brutal forces.
no people should suffer that.
I was inpressed by your honest way of thinking. I my self am a retired dutch psychoanalyst and as this I will always look for the truth in reality. What I wonder about is that psychoananlysts don't take a stand in the problem of Palestine/Israel: they avoid this subject, and the do not give credit to Freuds letter to Dr. Chaim Koffler, Vienna, 26. Febr. 1930, in which he says:"I can raise no sympathy at all for the misdirected piety which transforms a piece of an Herodian wall into a national relic, thereby offending the feelings of the natives...Now judge for yourself whether I, with such a critical point of view, am the right person to come forward as the solace of a people deluded by unjustified hope. Your obedient servant Freud."
I hope to have the time to follow your future conclusions about the Middle East, and about the world around this centre of our world-culture. I wish you succes. Pieter M
