Alan Hart (writer)
Alan Hart (17 February 1942 – 15 January 2018) was an author, former Middle East Chief Correspondent for Independent Television News, and former BBC Panorama presenter specialising in the Middle East. He wrote the three-part series Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews.
Hart began his career as a reporter in Central Africa, on the Nyasaland Times, and served as a war correspondent in Vietnam.[citation needed]
In 1973, Hart addressed global poverty with a two-hour film titled Five Minutes to Midnight. Its world premiere was hosted by Secretary General Kurt Waldheim at the opening of the 7th Special Session of the UN General Assembly that had been called to discuss a new world economic order.[citation needed]
Hart was involved in the failed attempt by the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, to gain exile in the UK after he was deposed in the Iranian Revolution. On 9 February 1979, as a freelance journalist close to the Shah, Hart contacted Downing Street to say the deposed royal was interested in living full-time at his lavish estate in Surrey, southwest of London.
Hart told of having been the unofficial linkman in a secret exploratory dialogue between Arafat and Shimon Peres in 1980.[citation needed]
Hart was never a member of any political party or group. When asked what drove him he said, "I have three children, and, when the world falls apart, I want to be able to look them in the eye and say, "Don't blame me. I tried."
Hart was a critic of Zionism, writing in 2007 that:
The colonial enterprise that Zionism is has corrupted everything it touched, beginning with the United Nations and including the mainstream media, what passes for democracy in the Western world (America especially) and Judaism itself.
