BBC should apologise for sensationalist ADHD documentary | The National

But the BBC's antisemitism is not only from quoting antisemites without context, which is bad enough. The reporter shows her own bias here:

The holy city of Jerusalem lies at the heart of the Christian faith. However, the number of Christians living here has dropped from a quarter of the population a century ago to under 2%. Many have emigrated, escaping the painful daily realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and seeking better opportunities elsewhere.

The clear implication is that Israeli policies are driving an exodus of Christians, and the article goes on to say that "Many Christians feel that the growing hostility towards them is meant to push them out."

However, if one looks at the demographic history of Jerusalem, one sees that the only major exodus of Christians came under Jordanian rule - from 19% of Jerusalem residents in 1944 to only 4% in 1967, with far more than half of the Christians of Jerusalem fleeing during those years.

The reason that the percentage has gone down from 4% to 2% today is not because of Israel forcing Christians out but because Israel expanded Jerusalem to include more Jews and more Muslims. In absolute terms, the Christian population has slowly grown in Jerusalem, and the only times it has ever gone down in history have been under Muslim rule. Indeed, Israel's Christians are overwhelmingly satisfied with living in Israel.

That paragraph shows that the BBC is not interested in the truth, but in anti-Israel and indeed antisemitic propaganda.

If the BBC had included any of the context mentioned here, it wouldn't have an article. So it airbrushes Muslim abuse of Christians and Palestinian Christian antisemitism out of the picture, leaving only an ugly lie that blame Jews as a nation for persecuting Christians. 

We shouldn't be surprised of the EBC behaviour here.........Scottish not British 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

How democracy works in the UK: the chairman of Tesco and Barratts wants unaccountable career politicians to rule over us in the interests of his businesses. The “adults in the room” won’t save you.

This absofuckinglute bias self-own by 'totally unbiased' news organisation. Seems the self proclaimed trusted BBC is offering an assessment of the Israel Gaza conflict misinformation on social media. Its précis

Hamas murdered 1200 people in

Israel has left Gaza in ruins

Israel's military prowess.

FUCKING FORGOT that Israel killed more than 20,000 people, more than 10,000 children did we?

CUNTS.

There's no fucking way the Eurovision Song Contest should be the lead item on the BBC news

Although I will say, none of those released prisoners, in my opinion, is worth a damn thing. Their only value in my opinion is that they get Israeli children back. I’m sure to some mother in Gaza or Judea or Samaria, those people mean the world.

But the people at BBC “know” that they are pure and just like some paladin from a fairytale. And that makes it worse.

Part of me wishes that they have the ability to implant a Task Force X/Suicide Squad bomb in each of their brains as they release them.

Melanie Phillips highlights efforts by Israel's government to counteract the BBC's misleading reporting on the Israeli-Arab conflict.

Note this in particular:

While the BBC chooses to ignore valid legal arguments in favour of Jewish settlement beyond the 1949 Armistice Lines, deputy CEO and director of journalism Jonathan Munro defended the corporation's decision not to describe terrorist attacks as "terror". His reasoning was that "terror means different things to different people". All of a sudden, Munro is willing to accept different opinions when it comes to the reprehensible act of terrorism, but can't when it comes to settlements in disputed territories.

One wonders whether Munro would refuse to classify the 9/11 attacks as terrorism because "terror means different things to different people". What he is essentially saying is that the Jews can't claim to be victims of terror if "different people"-- a.k.a Arabs-- don't think it's terror. He's willing to give a pass to Arab terror based on subjective values, but won't give a pass to Jews purchasing property beyond the 1949 Armistice Lines-- despite the fact that many settlements, like Gush Etzion, were inhabited by Jews prior to 1948. Different standards for different ethnic groups.

Add to this the fact that the BBC was recently censured for its shamelessly misleading reporting on a group of Jewish youths in London attacked by Arabic and Muslim antisemites last year. Instead of focusing on the blatant antisemitism, the BBC chose to accuse the Jewish youths of using anti-Muslim slurs and dismissed credible evidence to the contrary.

The BBC has a problem with its treatment of Israel and Jews, and it's good to see them facing pushback for this.

This is fucking embarrassing ‘journalism’ from the BBC.

Guy goes to an NHS doctor, flat-out states the nature of his investigation and gets behind the scenes information on assessments.

Then he hits up three private clinics actively looking for an ADHD diagnosis, has his friends fill out witness forms, and is shocked when he receives a diagnosis.

An utter disgrace.

as someone who has obviously done extensive research on the topic i would like to present to you all...dyketennant's "which david tennant character are you" uquiz

The story:

The BBC has apologised for reporting Hamas claims that the Israeli army was responsible for carrying out “summary executions” in the Gaza strip without seeking sufficient corroborating evidence. The story, which appears to have been based on a report from the news agency AFP [Agence France-Presse], centered on a statement from the Hamas terror group. It accused Israeli troops of illegally killing 137 Palestinian civilians since the war started on October 7 and burying them in a pit in northern Gaza. The BBC said that it had failed to “make sufficient effort to seek corroborating evidence to justify reporting the Hamas claim”. It added that its accusations were attributed and its story contained a response from the Israeli military saying that it was unaware of the incident and that Hamas was a terrorist organisation that did not value truth. Some staff considered that by posting the report on its corrections and clarifications web page, the BBC had not gone far enough to rectify its mistake. “Unless this apology is public and broadcast in the same arena as the original mistake, the damage is done,” said one Jewish employee. A second staffer added: “They have taken the Hamas line — a terror organisation — at face value, far too much since October 7. And nothing has changed. And again it’s an apology about a very serious accusation against Israel hidden on a corrections page.” The BBC has previously apologised for a television report that Israeli troops had targeted medical staff during a raid on a hospital in Gaza in November. The previous month it had admitted that it was wrong of one of its correspondents to speculate that that a rocket that fell outside al-Ahli hospital in Gaza had been fired by Israel.

So there you have it: a completely bogus report, originating from Hamas, that the BBC apologized for because it didn’t do “due diligence”.

Each to their own, and I wouldn’t begrudge anyone their right to do what they want in the circumstances, but what I will say is that the BBC just can’t pass up an opportunity to knock us Scots. 

Many journalists are, unknowingly or otherwise, aiding and abetting in the constant dehumanization of, and therefore the genocide of Palestinians.

Also complicit are social media platforms that are shadow banning pro-Palestinian blogs, and throttling pro-Palestinian posts, and incessantly promoting pro-Israel propaganda.

Never forget. Remember.

Remember who did what. Remember what happened at Jabalya refugee camp. Remember how western media outlets used false equivalencies to imply both sides of this “conflict” were on equal footing when only one side has nuclear weapons, an army, a navy, and an Air Force; remember that the passive voice was deployed to avoid assigning accountability to Israel’s war crimes; remember how the media used negative and dehumanizing words to describe Palestinians who were intentionally starved and denied food and water and access to healthcare, as “looters” when they found food for survival; remember that this decades long assault on noncombatant civilians did not begin on October 7th. Remember that only one side has had decades of apartheid and only one side is committing genocide. Remember how news outlets talked about some “humanitarian crisis,” as if the aftermath for survivors, following the murder of more than 8,000 Palestinian civilians, was an act of nature rather than what it was: the completely foreseeable results of civilian infrastructure + noncombatants being targeted by incredibly precise IDF weapons systems.

Remember so that the truth—that war crimes were openly committed by Israel—cannot ever be whitewashed away. Bear witness now so that you can speak the truth in the future.
