Channel 4\'s Dispatches, broadcast on 16 November, promised to hold the pro-Israel lobby up to rigorous public scrutiny and it succeeded. Presented by Peter Oborne, former political editor of the right-wing weekly The Spectator, Dispatches revealed the cozy relationship between Britain\'s pro-Israel lobby and both the Conservative and Labour parties as well as its attempts to stifle criticism of Israel in the press.
