BBC Verify – a hostile land of make believe – part one

Everyone makes mistakes. But I learnt a long time ago that the true levels of integrity and professionalism are seen in how people react when things go wrong. BBC Verify was caught basing a story on the words of an Iranian regime mouthpiece. Its response was to deflect, deny and double-down. This reaction trashed its own legitimacy and reputation far more than the error itself … Continue reading BBC Verify – a hostile land of make believe – part one

BBC toxic, bias, hostile anti-Israel coverage

BBC News – obsessive, biased- and unaccountable

On Friday (1 March), BBC News published the latest findings from their ‘fact-checking’ flagship ‘BBC Verify’ – looking at the 100+ deaths that occurred during the chaos surrounding the aid convoy in Gaza. BBC launched BBC Verify last year – a unit comprising of 60 journalists to help fact-check, verify video, and counter disinformation. Intended to be a gold standard in the age of fake … Continue reading BBC News – obsessive, biased- and unaccountable

The deliberate lies in the Washington Post

The Washington Post published an article profiling seven journalists killed in Gaza. The research below suggests it was a deliberate attempt to deceive. The Washington Post report The Washington Post report covers the deaths of ‘journalists’ in Gaza. Using the list of names provided by ‘the Committee to Protect Journalists’ (CPJ), the Post describes the Gazan journalists as brave heroes who paid the ultimate price … Continue reading The deliberate lies in the Washington Post

Journalists in Gaza

Exposing the lie about Palestinian journalists

I have just published a report on journalists in Gaza. Hamas, NGOs, and key media figures have been spreading an antisemitic conspiracy about Israel killing journalists in Gaza to silence them. Some well-known skewed ‘journalists’ like Alex Crawford at Sky News are consistently posting about journalists being killed. In this post she references 109 journalists dead – simply parroting raw Hamas propaganda: While Hamas (and … Continue reading Exposing the lie about Palestinian journalists

Hamas hiding behind every BBC article

BBC News and the ever missing context

Since October 7 BBC News has been working hard to portray the false image of Israel as a brutal oppressor intent on deliberately targeting and murdering innocent Palestinians. A BBC News classic story This BBC News article from November 21 is a classic of the type. It tells a story of a family in Gaza being nearly wiped out – and even better for the … Continue reading BBC News and the ever missing context

Cambridge University event plugs Steven Sizer group

On 29 Nov, I spent 90 very-long minutes watching an anti-Zionist event at Cambridge. The event was advertised by the Cambridge Faculty of History. The title was ‘Jewish Solidarity with Palestinians: Antizionism, Activism and Liberation for All’. In the middle of an awful episode in Jewish history – academics at Cambridge decided to bring together some of the fringe Jews that stand with antisemitic haters … Continue reading Cambridge University event plugs Steven Sizer group

Verifying BBC (Hamas) propaganda – presenting exhibit A

Bombshell exclusive: The BBC doesn’t just push Hamas propaganda. The BBC even gets a Hamas terrorist supporter to help write the story for them! To say the BBC has been in trouble over their reporting of the conflict would be a grievous understatement. The BBC has rushed to present Hamas propaganda as news. It has relied on the words of terrorist supporters to create stories … Continue reading Verifying BBC (Hamas) propaganda – presenting exhibit A

International media and the Hamas supporting Doctors of Shifa

With every step Israeli soldiers take inside the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, the hysteria of Hamas propaganda goes up a notch. We are presented with a string of doctors talking about incubator babies, corpses being eaten by dogs, a lack of electricity, and medical procedures being performed without drugs. Tragically western media simply parrots these messages: Hamas’ finely tuned propaganda system is built upon decades … Continue reading International media and the Hamas supporting Doctors of Shifa

Southern Israel – my journey into hell

On a material level the attacked Israeli communities will rebuild. At some point the houses will be put back together, the streets will be repaired, and apart from an inevitable memorial on site – the external reminders of the October 7 atrocities will be gone. I wanted to digest some of the reality of what took place during the deadly attacks before the rebuilding begins. … Continue reading Southern Israel – my journey into hell
