So? I've seen BBC do this before. Not to mention posting much much worse things and just quietly taking it down without offering some apology or article to try to set the record straight.
What a surprise… a UK lawyer who lives in Jerusalem and is a member of the Israeli Bar, founded an organisation named BBCWatch to “analyse BBC media coverage of the Middle East” wrote a report that was critical of the BBC
If anything Israel gets pretty much a free ride in the UK press and particularly on the BBC
> The research, led by British lawyer Trevor Asserson, also found that Israel was associated with genocide more than 14 times more than Hamas in the corporation’s coverage of the conflict.
That hardly seems surprising, given the way the war is going.
> It cites several examples, including a podcast last November in which Mr Bowen stated “Hamas ...an Islamic resistance movement...we’ve seen in the past few weeks has a military strategy” and a News at Ten report last October in which he said: “Hamas will try to use hit-and-run guerrilla tactics against a much more powerful army.”
Every word in that last sentence is accurate. Where's the bias?
> It claims Mr Bowen has also compared Israel’s offensive in Gaza to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, including in a BBC article in November last year in which he stated: “Israel is on course to have killed as many Palestinian civilians in just over a month as Russia has killed in Ukraine since February 2022.”
Again, entirely accurate?
> In one example, the report cites Ms Doucet stating in a radio dispatch in February this year: “And from the beginning of this Israel Gaza War, which erupted on October 7, it has been clear that both the United States and Iran do not want to be dragged into a direct confrontation”
Israel is condemned in the UN for "human rights abuses" more than Saudi Arabia, North Korea, China, Iran, Iraq, Rwanda. Combined.
The BBC reporting is the same. "Starving children" with a picture of a child with an disease that made that child look starved before the war. I saw that same false picture in the news just today!
The bias against Israel is striking if you open your eyes.
Trump is one of the least likely people to side with Palestinians on this sort of issue. That even he's able to notice it (along with other Israeli allies, a former Israeli prime minister, and plenty of Israeli intelligence folks) is telling.
