BBC’s worst Israel coverage yet!

The BBC has completely disgraced itself over the most recent attack by Israel & a veteran journalist has called it out. Right, so there has been poor, misinformative media coverage throughout 10 months of war and genocide being driven by the Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu and there is the most recent offering from the BBC which has been criminally bad, inexcusable misleading coverage pretty much being offered up to my mind as a way of excusing Israeli war expansion beyond Gaza, because for a change, this doesn’t actually involve the still besieged Strip. No, this time the target has been the Golan Heights, but don’t for one moment will the BBC allow you to think Israel are in anyway implicated in this matter, in fact their evening news bulletin on this matter last night according to one eminent independent journalist was ‘intentionally misleading’, because it allowed viewers to think those struck, at time of writing 11 people killed with a further 19 injured, were Israeli. They were actually Syrian Druze, because the Golan Heights, or at least the Western two-thirds of it, just like Gaza and just like the West Bank, is territory occupied by Israel and has been since the 1967 6 day war. The BBC appears to be engaged in a disinformation campaign to legitimise the expansion of Israe’s aggression, and frankly they shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. Right, so what has Israel done now and how have the BBC reported it? Well, I think it would be rather remiss of me if I didn’t turn to the words of the aforementioned journalist who has passed comment on such matters first, a certain Jonathan Cook, one of the most pre-eminent journalists you can possibly find on matters pertaining to the Middle East. In the course of his work he was based in Nazareth in what is now Northern Israel for 20 years. He was awarded the Martha Gellhorn Special Prize for Journalism in 2011 for his work and has authored 3 books, all of which have been highly critical of Israel. He has factually spent his career writing about everything many people have only woken up to in the aftermath of October 7th regarding Israel, so a guy worth paying attention and certainly a guy who has no time or patience for misleading media. Returning to the UK in 2021, he has continued to provide commentary and analysis on the Middle East, blogging about media propaganda as much as global politics. He’s got the BBC’s number on what they are playing at, you will be hard pressed to find another journalist as familiar with and experienced on reporting on Middle Eastern events than Jonathan Cook, it’s as simple as that, therefore what he’s had to say on social media regarding the BBC’s reporting on this latest atrocity that has taken place in the Israeli occupied Golan Heights carries some significant weight. He wrote: ‘BBC coverage of the attack on a football pitch in the Golan Heights has been intentionally misleading. The BBC’s evening news entirely ignored the fact that those killed by the blast are 12 Syrians, not Israeli citizens, and that for decades the Syrian population in the Golan has been forced to live unwillingly under an Israeli military occupation. ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I’m Damien Willey.
