What a disgrace the BBC is.
Israeli Massacres Of Starving Palestinians Seeking Food Aid – Comparing The BBC And Haaretz – Media Lens
'The Haaretz article leaves the reader in no doubt about why hundreds of civilians have been killed and thousands injured at food aid centres since the end of May. The impact of the piece was such that the report went viral on social media and was discussed even by influential ‘mainstream’ journalists who clearly found it too shocking to ignore.'
'Any fair observer would have to conclude that the BBC felt obliged to respond to the Haaretz confessions by discussing the subject but chose to do so in a way that did the least possible damage to the reputation of a key ally of the British government. And yet we are talking about the BBC reporting on an Israeli government that is committing the first livestreamed genocide.'
'Remarkably, in the aftermath of the Haaretz report, the BBC website has simply stopped reporting Israel’s food aid massacres. We found ourselves checking the respected Israeli human rights organisation B’Tselem to see if the killing really had stopped, as the BBC’s coverage seemed to suggest. B’Tselem reported 130 killed in Gaza on 3 July, 104 killed on 4 July, 86 killedon 5 July, 120 killed on 6 July and 89 killed on 7 July. None of this could be guessed from BBC headlines, even on its ‘Israel-Gaza War’ page.'
