I think regardless of your opinion on this subject, it’s fair to say its a pretty dishonest to present this like some kind of official report. It’s just a bloke and his team sifting through BBC coverage for stuff they don’t like.

The BBC are completely unbiased though, so how could this possibly be? Next you’ll be telling me that the saintly UK Labour Party are anti-Semitic.

The fact that the BBC always gets criticism from both sides for being biased towards the other demonstrates that it’s generally doing a pretty good job of remaining somewhere in the middle.

There are many pro-Palestinian posts on Twitter hating on the BBC, while on Reddit, articles like this get upvoted by Israelis. I think everyone is jealous of big-bla….

It seems to be a good starting point to work through each of the claimed breaches and ascertain if there is any truth to the claim.
The BBC seemed to find describing Hamas as a terrorist organisation challenging initially and gave blind credence to casualty numbers coming from Gaza.
Clearly he has a bias but in and of itself that’s no difference to most people commenting and reporting.

“It also found that the BBC repeatedly downplayed Hamas terrorism while presenting Israel as a militaristic and aggressive nation.”
That’s how Israel used to be portrayed in the soviet media. BBC continues the commie propaganda tradition.

Unmentioned by the Telegraph is that the author is a Jerusalem-based Israeli partisan who’s been accusing the BBC of this for more than 20 years. You might as well ask a Hamas official what *they* think of the BBC’s coverage, you’ll get about as neutral an answer.

To anyone seeking objective truth this has been glaringly obvious since the first week of the conflict.
Even my Mum (who often borders on unintended antisemitism through ignorance) told me many years ago that the BBC has always had an anti-Israel bias.

BBB ‘said stuff I don’t agree with 1500 times”. FTFY. That’s the whole “report” about.
