If you want to find bias in BBC News, you really do not have to look far. In just 30 hours, the BBC hate factory pushed out five articles – all full of distortion and lies. One even blatantly promotes a blood libel. This is not about a problematic journalist who manages to sneak a dodgy article past a sleepy gatekeeper. It is as if the BBC has declared war on the Jewish state. The arsenal of the public broadcaster is pointing firmly at Israel – and the result is a conveyor belt of articles – all shaped to demonise the only democracy in the Middle East.
On Thursday I took a look at the Israel / Gaza page on the BBC website. Scrolling down, you can see all the latest articles posted on the topic. It quickly becomes apparent that approximately every six hours BBC Journalists are posting another article – every single one of them is attacking Israel. No balance, no context, no alternative voice.
These were the most recent five:
Five anti-Israel posts published within 30 hours. It is worth noting that on Wednesday 13th, six Israeli soldiers were killed by Hezbollah terrorists, the terror group fired dozens of rockets at Israel (including at the central region), and on Tuesday 12th, two civilians were killed by Hezbollah rocket fire in Nahariya. None of this was important enough for a standalone BBC article. So let us look at the five that did make the grade:
BBC hate factory – article 1: Violating the Syrian ceasefire
- 12;04 13 November Article headline: “Israeli construction along buffer zone with Syria violates ceasefire, UN says”. Journalist, ME Correspondent, Lucy Williamson
The article carries a joke of a headline and is not newsworthy at all. In fact, as you read towards the end of the article, it becomes apparent that even the BBC journalist knows it isn’t. Yet the editorial spin is left intact so as to make sure from the headline that people think Israel is doing something wrong. Israel was attacked from Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Syria. Three of these places have a border with the Jewish state. Israel is rejigging its security – an understandable and legitimate act following the Oct 7 atrocities and all that has occurred since.
The BBC tell us the work is taking place near Majdal Shams. The article also suggests this ‘frontier’ has remained ‘relatively calm’. It appears the journalist did not bother to look up Majdal Shams, as 11 Druze children were killed by Hezbollah as they played football in the Druze town. Not mentioned in this BBC hit piece of course. How can you fail to mention a massacre of children that took place in the very place you are claiming is quiet?
More than this. The BBC often use UN statements as a means of attacking Israel – as if the UN is an impartial and respected organisation. This badly misinforms readers. Not only is the UN body ‘UNRWA’ in bed with Hamas, another UN body ‘UNIFIL’ allowed Hezbollah to turn Sth Lebanon into a terrorist fortress. When you also consider the UN has a twisted obsession with attacking Israel, the UNGA is overrun with despotic regimes, and the UNHRC (courtesy of the UNGA) is fronted by the world’s worst human rights offenders, no impartial and serious media outlet should ever mention the UN without a reminder that all UN criticism of Israel should be treated with scepticism.
The BBC never does this – which is either unforgivable amateurish reporting, simple stupidity, or a deliberate intent to mislead.
BBC hate factory – article 2: The blood libel
- 18:34 13 November Article headline: ‘Gaza surgeon describes drones targeting children.’ Journalist, Marcus White, BBC South Online.
The headline here carries a blood libel – the accusation that Israel is deliberately targeting children. It is based on evidence provided by a Dr Nizam Mamode to the ‘International Development Committee’. It all sounds very official – but in reality it is just a pointless parliamentary kangaroo court set up by an anti-Israel MP, Sarah Champion.
I sat through the entire testimony given by Nizam Mamode. If the journalist Marcus White also did, he should retire – because journalism is just not for him. The testimony was riddled with contradiction, and highly dubious statements passed without challenge. I am positive Mamode’s experience in Gaza was grim. It is a war zone and people die. Nothing about it is pleasant. But this was not the key point of his testimony. He claimed Israel deliberately targeted children with drones as they already lay wounded from an exploding bomb. He knows this because the children ‘told him’. Not once, but consistently.
In other words. His testimony is this. A child gets hit by a bomb. That same child is then shot deliberately by an Israeli drone. And then – miraculously – the child survives to tell the doctor of the ordeal. This happened to not one child or two, but consistently. He says:
‘it was not an occasional thing, but it would happen day after day after day, operating on children who would say I was lying on the ground after a bomb had dropped, and this quadcopter came down and hovered over me – and shot me.’
Gaza clearly has an epidemic of ‘superchildren’ being trained by Vought for use in their ‘supes’ program.
How about pointing out the fact that if all these doctors can go to Gaza – spend time in Gaza – and come out of Gaza safely, then things can really not be as bad as they claim. This is basic logic that appears to escape every BBC journalist.
Mamode’s evidence is clearly not serious. He also claimed that 1.2 million people are having bombs dropped on them all day, every day. This is not happening. He even said what he saw in Gaza was worse than the Rwanda Genocide. He spent one month in Gaza, and therefore in the Nasser hospital probably saw a few hundred casualties. In 1994, in just 100 days – 800,000 people were slaughtered in Rwanda.
The man is peddling a blood libel, with cheap impossible hearsay and other inconsistent and illogical statements. And the BBC plays that as a headline – and poses no challenge at all in the article? Unforgivable. It isn’t even student journalism. It’s antisemitic junk.
BBC hate factory – article 3: ‘Nowhere is safe’ in Lebanon
- 22:59 13 November Article headline: ‘Nowhere is safe’: Concerns grow as Israel strikes new areas of Lebanon. Journalist, Carine Torbey, BBC Arabic
This is another deliberately skewed headline. In actual fact there are lots of places that are safe in Lebanon – just not places that Hezbollah are using. The article quotes several witnesses but doesn’t name them – because their names would obviously give away these are all Shia – and part of Hezbollah. This means the article is no more than a BBC Arabic journalist giving a platform to Hezbollah propaganda.
In pretending all of Lebanon is at risk, it is a fake news article. It is absolutely certain that all of the many areas which are hostile to Hezbollah are not at risk at all – something the article does not mention. Which means this is more rancid, bias, amateurish, demonising, junk from BBC News.
Just how much do the British public give the BBC to produce propaganda material for proscribed Islamic terror groups?
BBC hate factory – article 4: ‘the peacemakers of Palestine Action’
- 06:12 14 November Article headline: ‘My daughter was branded a terrorist’. Journalist, Anna O’Neill, BBC News
This article is a bit different because it has clearly been created for purpose by a known anti-Israel journo at the BBC. Anna O’Neill has a long history of writing demonising pieces about Israel. Her likes on the X platform include several supportive of anti-Israel boycotts. O’Neill also gave the thumbs up to posts by Corbyn, the pro-Iranian Islamist Dilly Hussein – and even liked this – with its description of ‘barbaric terrorist Zionists’.
How on earth do the BBC ever let this journo post about Israel – a country she clearly hates? So Anna O’Neill wrote an article about two poor Palestine Action activists (Zoe Rogers and Fatema Zainab) who are sitting in jail awaiting a trial. The article rests on the emotional comments from their broken-hearted mothers who do not understand why their daughters are in jail. I did search for an article on the BBC website sympathetic to violent far-right thugs but didn’t find one.
The article also does not mention that Palestine Action has caused £millions in damages to buildings and equipment they have attacked. Nor that this particular action involved ram raiding a secure site – and seriously assaulting two police officers. But hey, why let little details like facts get in the way of an article dripping with ideological bias. The two thugs obviously belong in jail.
In all honesty, these kids didn’t stand a chance. These posts are from the parents. The post on the left is from Claire’s mom – a practicing Christian perpetuating 2000 years of Christian persecution of Jews. On the right is a post from Fatema’s mother, a devout Muslim, perpetuating over 1000 years of Islamic antisemitism.So both mums are anti-Israel activists with a religious bias (antisemites) – mentioned nowhere in the article.
BBC hate factory – article 5: ‘Israel accused of war crimes’
- 13:54 14 November -Article headline: ‘HRW accuses Israel of war crime of forced displacement in Gaza’. Journalist, David Gritten
This article follows the same pattern as the UN article above. The headline contains accusations that comes from the NGO Human Rights Watch (HRW). Israel is permitted in international law, to take many actions in the effort to secure its own citizens and eradicate Hamas rule in Gaza. HRW – as they always do – take Israeli actions out of context – remove the reasons for Israeli actions and then write reports that demonise the Jewish state.
If Israel needs to move part of the Gazan population in order to take on or expel Hamas then it is permitted to do so according to the laws of armed conflict. Israel is doing this to reduce civilian casualties and maximise its chances of success. While this legitimacy is referenced in the article – it is not given credibility and is dismissed by HRW – the same group who wrote the report. The BBC has not reached for any independent legal advice -which would have swiftly put the HRW report in its place (the nearest bin). This article shows the BBC going out of its way not to be professional or impartial because that would get in the way of the demonisation campaign.
Once again, the BBC are presenting an outfit (HRW) as a legitimate and unbiased source – when any serious investigation into HRW material highlights a severe anti-Israel bias. The BBC piggyback on the bias of others – using outrageous headlines such as this one, to further damage Israel’s legitimacy.
The puppet master
The headlines, Hamas supporting witnesses, a relentless number of toxic articles, (a few other examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11). All guns point in one direction (more people have died in Sudan in 2024 than Gaza – yet on Sudan the BBC have only published a single article this month). Worse still – even in articles that do contain some balance – headlines are skewed to demonise Israel as much as possible (many people never look at the article).
The main cause beyond the fact BBC journos are amateurish, biased hacks? Probably a man named Stuart Millar. He is the Digital News Editor of the BBC. So either he isn’t paying attention to the anti-Israel obsession and bias on the platform – or he supports it. Millar is a former head of news at the Guardian. So we know the type. An arrogant supremacist who probably thinks he is a lot cleverer than he actually is. One of the community of the good, and no doubt of the belief that he is the most ethically upright person in whichever room he graces with his presence.
Five attack pieces in just thirty hours. Including one that blatantly pushes a blood libel. What an absolute sewer the BBC has become.

The BBC is the direct cause of antisemitism in the UK. Haters who comment under articles in the MSM have been indoctrinated by the BBC and frequently quote these lies.
