A leaked email is just one more piece of evidence of how the UK’s BBC has constantly distorted events related to Gaza since the October 7 massacre.
British journalist Jonathan Sacerdoti wrote in a recent article in The Spectator that the memo, entitled “Covering the food crisis in Gaza,” acts as “a top-down editorial diktat that discards impartiality.”
The memo, sent to BBC staff on Friday, July 25, states that “the argument over how much aid has crossed into Gaza is irrelevant.” Instead, “we [staff] should say” that the current distribution system ‘doesn’t work.'”
The distribution system it is referring to is the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which succeeded in distributing aid without allowing Hamas terrorists to commandeer it. It’s “intriguing” how the BBC prefers the UN distribution system, with the aid falling into the hands of Hamas.
Sacerdoti wrote, “The closer the GHF and Israeli army get to finally defeating the terrorists, the more shrill the BBC’s insistence that the Jewish state is deliberately starving children.”
Of course, the leaked memo is only one of millions of incidents that prove the BBC’s antisemitic and anti-Israel slant over the years, including the photo of an emaciated child it published as proof of the “starvation” in Gaza despite being fully aware the child’s emaciation is caused by multiple illnesses, including a genetic disorder and cerebral palsy.
Journalist David Collier said that he watched BBB broadcasters openly lie on a live broadcast when they interviewed the ill child’s mother. She spoke about the child’s cerebral palsy and the physiotherapy he received for it. BBC ignored her and reported that Mohammed’s curved spine is a result of famine.

Your headline is misleading and not true. It’s almost as bad as the accusations you’re throwing at BBC. You put “regardless of facts” in quotes as if that’s what the BBC memo said, even though that is NOT what the memo said outright. BBC is evil enough, but when you have to publish untruths about it, you’re making them sound less evil. Plus you’re engaging in telling lies, just as BBC does.
Exactly what happens in Israel How they always blame me the religious for everything
I know some people are not gonna like this.But this is the reality as a believing jew , we know Hashem deals with people measure for measure. It is unbelievable how the world just doesn’t care and they take the other side and israel’s always the bad one getting blamed? I don’t think it’s by chance.There’s a God running the world.This is what the israeli government always does to the religious people.

Israel getting punished measure for measure.This is what they do all the time to the Religious in israel
I truly don’t understand why they can’t be sued royally for things like this. It’s at the very least a defamation lawsuit. It’s definitely more defamation than Trump’s 16 million dollar win
the bbc is funded by tax money, and is totally infiltrated by hamasniks and “progressive” enablers. why would anyone expect them to have any journalistic standards?
