Anti-Semitism Of The Bbc
I'm finding it hard to watch the degree of anti-Semitism being put out by the BBC each evening, it appears to be not only devoid of any criticism of the perpetrators, - Hamas, but presenting them & their supporters as some form of victims

There is a simple test one can apply to this coverage. Had the poisonous racism on display at these protests been directed at the black or Muslim community, would BBC reports make little or no reference to it? The answer would – quite rightly – be no. The racist abuse would be front and centre of the story. It would be treated with the due prominence and sensitivity it deserves. It would be headline news, at the very heart of the coverage.
Yet racism against Jews is deemed barely worthy of mention in these BBC reports/
Defn of antisemitism ( screams of ' I dont need a definition ! i know what it is ! Do I have to SEE child murder to know it is wrong ( cf Gaza) is
As the IHRA Working Definition points out, contemporary examples include "mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective – such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions".
(GMC determination on whether it is right to strike off someone as an antisemite doctor)
and so we see for example that alluding to to 32 000 dead in Gaza and that it shouldnt go on..... is not under this defn, anti-semitism
nor is saying the IDF should shoot kids in the head
nor is saying forced migration to unsafe areas so you can bomb the hell out of BOTH areas
nor is saying children should be starving in Gaza
nor is saying the closure of the borders of GAza in order to starve the people inside is a bad thing
even if any one is untrue
thank you for getting down to here
Hamas, but presenting them & their supporters as some form of victims
the people in Gaza ARE victims - just like the civilian populations of Ukraine. I note Biden said in public that the IDF cd NOT have 2000lb bombs ( safe blowers, tunnel blasters or baby killers or whatever) for fear of killing too many er babies and mothers
that to my mind is not anti-semitic see above
//Perhaps they should look to appoint people from the editorial staff of the Jewish Chronicle to give their reports the once over to ensure balance and fairness in their broadcasts.//
That's not a bad idea. I wouldn't believe the propagada guff that Hamas puts out. I doubt their leaders could lie straight in bed.In any case,I avoid the Beeb news like the plague and ceased watching it long before Oct 7th.
