Over the past few weeks there have been Israeli government enforced evictions in Sheikh Jarrah with Palestinians being forced from their homes to make room for new Israeli settlers. This has already happened, the evictions are ongoing but they started on the 2nd May.
Keir Starmer and Nicola Sturgeon have both condemned what's happening, yet the BBC are still reporting it as "threatened evictions" when these people have already been turfed out of their homes.
There has been footage shared by a number of British MPs of the Israeli security forces storming a peaceful prayer session at Al Aqsa mosque and tear-gassing the attendees and this has been described as "clashes between forces". Fully geared IDF troopers vs plain clothes praying civilians is hardly a both sides affair.
When comparing it to the coverage of places like China and Syria it becomes beyond a joke; happy to throw out genocide claims and establish a narrative in people's minds whenever it's politically convenient - sending people on whatever goose-chase the neocons in charge have decided to push to the press that day.
There are current videos circulating of dead bodies (I'll share in the comments) strewn across the floor from the airstrikes in Gaza and the BBC report it as a "clash" instead of a carpet bombing of civilians.
I just find the hypocrisy of it all completely galling. The same people who gave us endless performative outrage about Labour's antisemitism, about Iraq, about Syria are now turning a complete blind eye when it comes to ethnically motivated atrocity that's available for all to see.
Given the BBC are one of the most trusted news sources in the UK, isn't this political slant a big problem?
