#Palestine / More than 100 BBC staff accuse broadcaster of Israel bias in Gaza coverage

The letter highlights several editorial commitments that the #BBC should implement, such as making it clear when there is insufficient evidence to back up #Israeli claims, including regular historical context predating October 2023, and robustly challenging Israeli government and military representatives in all interviews.

The BBC has denied these claims, insisting that it strives to live up to its responsibility to deliver the most trusted and impartial news. However, the signatories of the letter insist that the bias favors Israel, citing examples such as dehumanizing and misleading headlines, omissions of coverage, and a lack of emphasis on Israel's role in certain events.

[…] Other concerns raised by staff include omissions of coverage, such as the failure to live broadcast South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice on 11 January but choosing to live broadcast Israel’s defence the following day.
