BBC News promote yet another Hamas ‘doctor’

The question: how is it the BBC consistently platform witnesses who are publicly aligned with Hamas (a few examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)?

The latest BBC witness

Yesterday, the BBC ran another story about a ‘massacre’ in Gaza. We have now seen it countless times – Hamas propaganda make an empty claim – and the BBC rush to promote it.

The latest headline covered both Gaza and Lebanon.

‘Israeli strikes on north Lebanon and Gaza kill dozens, officials and rescuers say’.

The only named Gazan based source for the claims in the BBC article was a Dr Fadel Naim, director of the Al-Ahly hopsital:

Fadel Naim

The report from the good doctor is grim. Of the 17 bodies his facility received ‘nine’ were women – thus strongly implying this was a random attack that killed women – not terrorists.

But is there any reason the BBC should not have reproduced the claim of Fadel Naim? Did the BBC do the slightest bit of due diligence on this witness, before sharing his lies to the world?

The answer is no. They could not have checked at all.

The timeline of the doctor

Unusually for Gazan based witnesses these days, Fadel Naim does not hide his social media behind confusing variations of his name. Search for a ‘Fadel Naim’ in Gaza on Facebook and you quickly find his account.

When you search his account to see what he was posting on October 7 2023 – it quickly becomes apparent this is not the type of person any of us would recognise as a doctor. His timeline is full of open support for the October 7 atrocities:

It is not just about October 7. On 27 January 2023, Hamas terrorists slaughtered seven Jews outside a synagogue in Jerusalem. Fadel Naim took the opportunity to celebrate the attack:

If the BBC journalists had even bothered to look – they would have seen that this man openly supports terrorism and should not be trusted. In the end, it is left to people like me to do their job for them.

The Hamas doctor

From scanning the photos on his own public timeline, it soon becomes apparent that this doctor is no idle supporter of terrorism. This is an image from his daughter’s wedding. The top table at the event included not just Fadel Naim, the BBC ‘witness’ – but also Ismail Haniyeh – the (then) leader of Hamas in Gaza:

Fadel Naim and Haniyeh

And here are the two of them together at the same event:

We can conclude that this doctor is closely aligned to the top Hamas leadership – and no western media organisation should be relying on him as a witness. It is kind of obvious anyway. A basic truth completely ignored by western media is that Hamas control Gaza – so if a person has ‘made it in Gaza’ – (for example becoming a director at a hospital) – it is a near certainty that his family is aligned with Hamas.

What makes this all worse – is that the Associated Press used him before – and was notified of the doctor’s terrorist associations.

The single Q&A

The question I asked at the outset: how is it the BBC consistently platform witnesses who are publicly aligned with Hamas?

Given these ease with which the evidence is found, the answer really has to be one of these two options:

1. BBC News journalists are just over-promoted amateur hacks

2. They see the Hamas asssociations and just do not care.

Whatever the truth – given that the BBC’s fake news is pumping raw antisemitism into the veins of our society – this is alls inexcusable, unacceptable, and it really is long overdue that someone step in and stop it.

Can you help support the fight back against the antisemitism and the lies?

My research is unique and hard hitting.

I battle back against those who seek to revise history, demonise Israel –  and I expose antisemitism wherever it is found. I fight when others don’t. The results speak for themselves and for ten years (a lot more anonymously) I have been exposing hate and creating headlines.

  1. Dear David

    You are a true hero for having the intelligence, diligence and courage to reveal the their blatantly antisemitic reporting. How do you hold them to account and what “successes” have you had, if any in this respect. I would willingly contribute towards your amazing work but am really interested to know whether you are preaching to the converted, so to speak.

    1. Thanks Rebecca. No, this is not about preaching to the converted- far from it. This is about creating evidence and supplying it to those who need it so they can act. The fight against Corbyn is a good example – a fight which helped make sure he was suitably battered in 2019. There are numerous battles – whether against hard-left politicians, journos, academics or NGOs – and each of these battles is ‘evidence thirsty’. You only need to look at the ‘funding UNRWA’ argument to know that with diligent investigative work – it is possible to create discussions in the halls of power. This has nowt to do with being trapped in our own echo chamber (also countless Journos, politicians and academics are subscribed here)..I have been doing this a long time. We got Hezbollah and Hamas proscribed – we want an investigation in the BBC – we want the IRGC proscribed – we need to continue to discredit NGOs like Amnesty, highlight the toxic academics on campus, have Wikipedia’s bias thoroughly exposed etc etc. The list is a long one – and we only make headway if we continue to fight.

  2. Thanks for sharing- are you notifying the Uk government antisemitism department?
    I would love to know what they have to say.
    Well done- we need something done about the BBC as soon as possible 😣

    1. The UK doesn’t have an antisemitism department…. but yes, people are working hard to try to bring the BBC to account.

  3. Hitler Youth style Arab Islamist Jew hunt pogrom and poison of Haaretzism: always blaming the victims of racist Arab-Islamist hate crimes.

    The Nov. 7 Pogrom.
    After Maccabi Tel Aviv lost to Ajax 5-0, fans streamed out of the Johan Cruyff Arena. They were soon set upon by gangs of scores of Turkish and Arab men. Dutch Jewish reporter Daid de Bruijn records some of the violence:

    Footage shows an Israeli soccer fan being struck by a car, cartwheeling across the windshield. More footage shows the scene in downtown Amsterdam, where Israelis are pleading with their assailants, ‘not Jewish, not Jewish.’ And they are beaten mercilessly. In video of other attacks last night, a victim is struck and lies injured on the ground, seemingly unconscious. A father can be seen fleeing with his son. A man jumps into one of Amsterdam’s canals to escape his assailants. In the recording, where he is forced to say ‘Free Palestine,’ his assailants laugh and jeer that he is a ‘cancer Jew’ – a classic slur in Dutch….”

    Aaron and Jacob are two young British Jews, fathers of young families from London, who visited Amsterdam for the game and were caught up in the pogrom. Aaron describes:

    We left the game early to meet a friend, and as we walked towards the bar area, chaos broke out – mopeds appeared from alleyways, and a crowd surrounded an Israeli man. The man was on the ground, his head pinned between a curb and a metal gate, being viciously kicked.

    Aaron and Jacob tried to push the mob away, only to be threatened with violence themselves. “Are you Yehudi? Are you Jewish?” the attackers asked, even demanding to see their passports to ascertain if they were Israeli. A gang member punched Aaron in the face, then was quickly joined by 20 other Muslim men…
    Attackers coordinated their pogrom using social media. “There is talk of people going on a Jew hunt,” explained Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema.

    The many social media posts showing Jews and Israelis being beaten up in the streets and canals of Amsterdam were gleeful. “This coward jumped into the canal, afraid of getting beaten,” one typical post showed, along with “crying with laughter” emojis.

    Another public post shows an unconscious man lying in the fetal position on a road in Amsterdam, being kicked by his attackers. Yet another post “shows a young Israeli football fan cornered in a narrow alley where he ends up crouching on the floor. He begs for mercy but his assailants knock him out with a punch to the head.” In these and other cases, the perpetrators appeared proud of what they were doing.

  4. The OIC needs to finance the UN it has a grip on, since it’s basically serving them, the Islamic lobby interests above all.

    GENOCIDE/S?

    What has the UN ever done to prevent REAL genocides?

    Uganda under Islamic Idi Amin 1971/79: 500,000;

    Bangladesh Genocide of 1971 by Islamic Pakistan: 3,000,000;

    Rwanda 1994: 500,000 to 800,000;

    supremacist Arab racist genocide in Darfur: 2003-5: 200,000;

    Iraq under Arab tyrant Saddam Hussein since the ’70s: 500,000;

    Arab Islamic Syria as of Mar 2024: 617,910;

    Or on Arab Islamist attempted genocide (since 1920s with al Husseini coining “itbakh [Adbakh] al yahud” and intensified in 1947), while everyone knows the tactics of “Palestinian” or Hezbollah to bring about their civilian deaths – beginning with Arafat’s methods in early 1980s.

  5. Palestinazism at chronic “PalestineChronicle.”

    Screenshot over three months later, “comments are closed,” the (Aug 17, 2024) propaganda for ‘Mein Kampf’ claiming it’s truth, is still on.

    [https://archive.ph/6TtCG/b65485082ef91c6d16ff20ab472ebd2f7005cb5f.jpg]

    This typical “Palestinian” propaganda site has a “meter” of the G slur, which consists of Hamas/PIJ butchers, their women and kids as well as others used by terrorists human shields tactics on their own population with the goal of having ‘dead kids’ for propagandal use. A method used since Arafat days in early 1980s Lebanon.
