US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Sunday ridiculed the BBC for once again publishing a false and distorted story about Gaza in order to portray Israel as a villain rather than Hamas.
Earlier on Sunday, Israel’s COGAT (Coordinator of Government Activities) debunked a fictitious story published by the BBC, the Guardian, AP, and Italian media that a 20-year-old Gazan woman died on Friday after being flown from the Strip to an Italian hospital due to “severe malnourishment,” omitting the fact that she was critically ill with leukemia.
Huckabee retweeted a statement by journalist Melanie Phillips about the story: “Israel helps evacuate cancer sufferer from Gaza to Italy,” Phillips wrote. “She dies there of leukemia. BBC suggests Israel starved her to death. To the BBC, even cancer is Israel’s fault.”
Huckabee added, “Will the BBC retract the story and apologize? Of course. The same day a Baskin Robbins opens a franchise in hell.”

I never trusted the MSM, especially the BBC on anything medical since their blatant lies & Disinformation on Covid & their useless vaccines. Hopefully more people will wake up not to trust these liars.
there is nothing newsworthy about the bbc libelling israel, or even not retracting bold-faced lies, especially regarding israel. but since when did american ambassadors go to such lengths to show support for us?! they might as well start serving baskin robbins in hades!
