This morning I searched "genocide" on the BBC News app.
Not a single article on Gaza in the results shown below.
And if you think we're just talking about perceived bias towards Israel, consider this:
– resigned over Gaza coverage, exposing serious editorial failures.
– BBC North Africa correspondent who resigned, citing his professional conscience.
111 BBC journalists – anonymously backed an open letter condemning the corporation's Gaza coverage and editorial decisions.
400+ media figures, including Miriam Margolyes, Alexei Sayle and Mike Leigh, demanded the removal of BBC board member Robbie Gibb over impartiality concerns.
Ramita Navai and – publicly condemned the BBC for shelving Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, subsequently broadcast by Channel 4.
Akinola Davies Jr – had his words "Free Palestine" edited out of the BBC's BAFTA broadcast.
And in recent weeks, we've seen even more extraordinary examples.
's hostile interrogation of over the Green Party's Zionism motion, repeatedly challenging his position while he attempted to bring the discussion back to the suffering of Palestinians.
interrupting as he condemned Israel's extremist government, stepping in to remind him that Israel would deny being extremist.
It's fucking endless.
The BBC continues to suppress language that accurately describes Israel's actions, stifles critical commentary, and amplifies Israeli officials and pro-Israel commentators, while Palestinian voices are marginalised or silenced altogether.
Those defending Israel are given a microphone. Those challenging its actions face hostile interrogation.
At what point do we stop calling this perceived bias and start demanding serious institutional complicty in war crimes?
Who holds the BBC accountable when the institution tasked with scrutinising power is itself protecting it?
