In November 2005, BBC Head Mark Thompson traveled with his Jewish wife to Israel, where he held direct talks with Ariel Sharon, which were intended to let the BBC 'build bridges with Israel'. Thompson's Wife Jane Blumberg is a Zionist, makes you wonder how easy the decision came to the BBC now right!
