The BBC is facing calls for an inquiry due to accusations of anti-Israel bias in its Arabic outlet’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict. The Telegraph has more.
Critics say the corporation is breaching its own guidelines by ignoring complaints about BBC Arabic’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict.
In numerous cases, they say the BBC has not responded to the complaints or only partially responded, with only a handful answered within its deadline of 10 working days.
Camera UK, which is “dedicated to promoting fair, accurate and balanced coverage of Israel in the British media,” has submitted 33 complaints about BBC Arabic’s output since the October 7th attacks by Hamas.
It has now called for a parliamentary inquiry to hold the BBC “responsible for basic standards of accuracy and impartiality”.
The call has been backed by Conservative peer Lord Polak, who told the Telegraph: “There needs to be a wide-ranging independent inquiry into the BBC’s coverage of the Israeli-Hamas conflict and their handling of complaints about it.
“If they keep getting it wrong it suggests there is a fundamental issue with the BBC, with the possibility that the views of individuals within the organisation are more important than their own Charter’s requirement for impartiality.” …
Camera says that of its 33 complaints, 18 had gone unanswered or the answer was overdue; 11 were answered belatedly and only four were answered in line with the corporation’s own guidelines of a response within 10 working days of the complaint being submitted.
In one case, BBC Arabic described the capture of an Israeli soldier by Hamas gunmen as an “arrest”. This was partially corrected, although a post on Twitter still contains the reference to “the moments when the Al-Qassam Brigades arrested Israeli soldiers and brought them into the Gaza Strip.”

Oh please.
They aren’t quite full of Zionist lies enough for you are they?
Interesting that not a minute of The Hague trial against Israel was televised on this “biased” BBC. While all of the Israel defence was televised.
Some atrocities are impossible to completely cover up. BBCArabic would have no one listening to it and switch to al Jazeera if they just acted like Israel’s propaganda unit.
Speaking of atrocities. Hamas are Islam’s Nazis. The people of Gaza who voted them the same. Israel is simply doing to Gaza what we rightly did to Germany.
Note also. During WWII, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem met with Hitler to plan a concurrent Holocaust in the Middle East. As do Hamas now.
Hamas multiple breaches of the Geneva Convention means it no longer applies.
This is all down to Hamas. Release the hostages and there will be an immediate ceasefire.
Speaking of atrocities, as you were…
Well the BBC are just absolutely dire across the board and should be completely disbanded, much like UNWRA and the UN as a whole. Speaking of the dreadful Beeb, Bonnie Glick ( former USAID ) has got it going on in this 7min interview regarding the latest UNWRA revelations. Totally 100% spot on in what she says, as far as I’m concerned;
”If you want the long form notes: Bonnie notes that UNRWA is an unrepentant cheerleader for the Hamas jihadi death cult and that Hamas is responsible for everything that has befallen Gaza and the Palestinian people.”

Further to the latest UNRWA scandal and countries pulling funding for terrorism, Robert Spencer hits the nail on the head regarding UN corrupt goon, Guterres, in response to his recent blatantly insincere statement on the subject. Yeah keep crying like a baby, ya bloody crook!
”What this jihad enabler really should do is resign in disgrace and enter a monastery to do penance for the rest of his life for all the evil he has done. His relentless and ongoing demonization of Israel has created an environment in which UNRWA aided Hamas for years under everyone’s noses, including that of Guterres, and no one at the UN seemed to care. It was and is hard to escape the conclusion that the UN had allowed itself to become an arm of the jihad against Israel. Now Guterres is trying to save face, and keep the gravy train rolling.”

The UNWRA case is flimsy lacks any evidence save 7 tortured Hsmas members.
Guantanamo style Israel.
UN Watch are doing an excellent job of exposing and documenting the corruption and terrorist supporting and enabling that UNRWA specialize in. Here you can take a peek or download their 68 page research report on the subject. The resident rape-apologists won’t like it though. Delusional cheerleaders for terrorist savages and traitors to their countries, they think that all Israeli females are liars because their hero ”freedom fighters” would never stoop so low as to rape, would they? Unthinkable!
”Notwithstanding the repeated denials by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and its insistence that it has zero tolerance for hatred and antisemitism, UN Watch continues to find abhorrent antisemitism and support for jihadi terrorism by UNRWA staff on social media. This report details how UNRWA teachers in a 3,000-member UNRWA staff Telegram group cheered and celebrated Hamas’s October 7th massacre while at the same time asking when their UNRWA salaries will be paid. The UNRWA staff in the group shared photos and video footage of those events and prayed for the terrorists’ success and for Israel’s destruction, in clear violation of UN rules.”

Yes the Gazans who work for UNWRA cheated a military defeat of Israel the very terrorist state that holds them captive, frequently bombs them, starves them and humiliates them,
They cheered!
Shocker. I would too, if I lived their lives.
You do and you you don’t live their lives!
US Supreme Court
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won his case against all pharmaceutical lobbyists.
Covid-19 vaccines are NOT vaccines. In its decision, the Supreme Court confirms that the harm caused by Covid mRNA gene therapies is IRREPARABLE.
Since the Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States, there are no further appeals and all avenues of appeal have been exhausted.
In a statement, Robert F. Kennedy emphasised that this success was only possible because of the international cooperation of a large number of lawyers and scientists. Naturally, this ruling sets a precedent internationally.
Especially in Switzerland, this ruling should cause a stir, because Switzerland has a special position with its federal constitution. On the one hand, the Nuremberg Code is in the constitution with Article 118b, and the misuse of genetic engineering in humans is prohibited in Switzerland, according to Article 119 of the Federal Constitution.
This is supplemented by Article 230bis of the Criminal Code, which means that the perpetrators RISK up to 10 years in prison.
However, this historic ruling should also give the rest of the world pause for thought, because the Nuremberg Code has international validity and is also contained in Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
In the case of criminal charges, the statement should refer to the Contergan scandal in order to give particular weight to the significance of this charge.
German lawyer Rainer Füllmich and over 100 other German lawyers are active in these cases.
NO media reports on this, neither in Switzerland nor in Europe.
Unfortunately, it is mathematical that, as this is a disruptive issue that can upset the financial and economic plans of the powerful LOBBIES of the PHARMACEUTICAL industry, the public will not be informed.
We are in the midst of a promotional campaign aimed at pushing people to vaccinate, and then again to vaccinate, in the run-up to next winter.
It is very likely that, if news of the historic ruling ever circulates, it will circulate late to allow the corrupt medical class, aligned to the positions of the pharmaceutical lobbies, to get as far ahead as possible with the vaccination campaign.
We therefore INVITE all honest people of good will to give the maximum dissemination to this historic JUDGMENT of the U.S. Supreme Court, for our own good, but especially for that of our children and grandchildren…. Let us not allow lobbyists to irreparably ruin our health and endanger our lives.

Just found this BTL at TCW. Thanks to Lickyalips.
No MSM announcements of this jaw-dropping news.
I feel sure this will feature ATL tomorrow or Tuesday.
Great news Hux!
In a normal world that decision would wreck the Pharmaceutical industry…
There appears to be considerable efforts online to suggest this is not the case – I hope it they are all wrong and IS true …
Check Camera for yourself.
Literally every day, in every way, the BBC demonises the Jewish state.
Camera relentlessly exposes it.

I would hope our parliamentarians would have something better to hold an inquiry about.
Ofcom: Get on with it and issue a reprimand. Done. Repeat offence? Heads to roll.
