Here the BBC make excuses for hatred shown against Jews and blame it on the Palestine v Israel issue, when infact there is no connection....
Tunisia is one of only two Arab states with a sizeable Jewish community.
You mean about 1500! ever wondered why?
After independence in the 1950s, Tunisia's Jewish Community Council was abolished by the government and many Jewish areas and buildings were destroyed for urban renewal. By 1967, the country's Jewish population was fleeing, and over 40,000 had left for Israel, leaving 20,000. During the Six Day War, Jews were attacked in riots, and, despite government apologies, 7,000 Jews immigrated to France. www.pjvoice.com
But pro-Palestinian sentiments remain strong and the country has no diplomatic ties with Israel.
errh.. don't you mean antisemitism remains high by Islamists?
But the sudden emergence of the tape showing him performing at the country's oldest synagogue in Djerba has scuppered this unique opportunity.
hang on a minute!!! Djerba is in Tunisia! You get where i'm coming from on this??
Anti-Israeli sentiment in Tunisia - especially in cultural and artistic circles - was already running high following the emergence of another remarkable tape.
again, what had this to do with the singer? He has no connection with Israel and this wasn't even picked up by the BBC. I mean, we don't say all Muslims support terrorism do we??? Well, the BBC keeps telling us they don't anyway and that Islam means peace and all that.
This just proves that the BBC knows fully well, that the Muslims hate Israel cause it's Jewish, no other reason. Nothing to do with Humanatarian rubbish.
"especially in cultural and artistic circles " - again, when it's negative it's nothing to do with Islam!
To get past this, the BBC do something very sly, they talk about another video in which there is a reference to Netanyahu, even though this has nothing to do with the other singer.
Despite the strong support for Palestinians in Tunisia, a sizeable Jewish community has stayed in the country, while the bulk of Jews of Arab origin left the region some 50 years ago.
You mean support by Muslim Tunsians for Muslim Palestinians.
sizeable - 1500?? Why did the bulk leave? no mention.
There are 1,142,000 Muslims living in Israel, being 16% of it's population, but yet the Jews are meant to be so anti-islamic, i'd say the facts speak for themselves.

By Magdi Abdelhadi
BBC News
The popular Tunisian singer Saleem Bakkoush has been forced to cancel a concert at the annual Carthage festival, after a video surfaced showing him performing at a synagogue.
Mr Bakkoush accused his rivals of publishing the tape to tarnish his reputation.
Tunisia is one of only two Arab states with a sizeable Jewish community.
But pro-Palestinian sentiments remain strong and the country has no diplomatic ties with Israel.
Internet campaign
This was supposed to be Mr Bakkoush's first appearance on the prestigious Carthage festival.
But the sudden emergence of the tape showing him performing at the country's oldest synagogue in Djerba has scuppered this unique opportunity.
The Carthage festival is a prominent event attracting a range of artists Mr Bakkoush said the recording was a few years old and suggested that his enemies had published it now to prevent the concert.
Anti-Israeli sentiment in Tunisia - especially in cultural and artistic circles - was already running high following the emergence of another remarkable tape.
It showed another popular singer, Mohsen El Sharif, performing at the wedding of a Jewish couple of Tunisian origin in Israel.
What angered people most in Tunisia was Mr El Sharif's readiness to please the Israeli public by shouting "Long Live Netanyahu", referring to the Israeli prime minister.
He later tried to defend his action by saying that he thought that was the bridegroom's name.
Few believed him, and his critics have launched an internet-based campaign to have him put on trial and stripped of his nationality.
Despite the strong support for Palestinians in Tunisia, a sizeable Jewish community has stayed in the country, while the bulk of Jews of Arab origin left the region some 50 years ago.
