    Die BBC habe einen „schwerwiegenden Verstoß“ gegen die Rundfunkregeln begangen, indem sie nicht offengelegt habe, dass der Erzähler einer Dokumentation über Gaza der Sohn eines Hamas-Funktionärs sei

      This is the documentary that was translating „Jews“ as „Israelis“

      Edit: added quotes and sources

      >Criticism continued about the programme’s subtitling choices – including contributors using the Arabic word for „Jews“ on camera, which was translated in the subtitles as „Israelis“ or „Israeli army“.

      >on at least five occasions the words Yahud or Yahudy – Arabic for “Jew” or “Jews” – were changed to “Israel” or “Israeli forces”, or were removed from the subtitles altogether.

      BBC broadcasted with an Israeli bias for almost the entire conflict and now they pull this?

      Hey! Go easy on the person that did this, they’re so used to getting away with right wing propaganda that they forgot about the rules.

      (well, I guess it’s ‚you are‘, not they’re…)

      At least the BBC can admit it’s wrong.

      Hopefully all credible media companies will learn from this.

      (Or am I being naive?)

      I think this quote describes a lot of BBC reporting I’ve observed…“a significant failing in relation to accuracy“…..although this describes most main stream media these days.

      BBC has the same amount of journalistic integrity as trump has respect for the law and ethics. Little to none.

      I find it funny how they mention a „potential to erode trust“ when every single human who’s read them knows where they stand on it.

      The Israel derangement syndrome boggles my mind still.

      Why are so many historically respected institutions suddenly incapable of being unbiased when it comes to this conflict?

    11. Minute_University_98 on

      Whoa, wait? 
      People still watch the BBC expecting non bias  and facts? 

      How quaint.

      BBC cutting unrepentant h-mas propaganda is not a surprise. Their coverage has been a disgrace

    14. biggessdickess on

      Can we be clear what is meant by „Hamas official“? What was his role/job in the organisation called Hamas? Member? Central committee? Military committee? If he was a mere civil servant, in an administration governed by Hamas, in what area was he working? Hamas teacher? Hamas doctor? Hamas department of roads and traffic?
      We wouldn’t refer to just any Israeli civil servant as a „Likud official“, for example. Likud doctor, etc.

      They are literally putting reasons for more media control on a silver plate and giving it to governments.

      I won’t cry about it if the government wants to regulate the BBC more because of this very reason.

      Everyone needs to get through their heads that no news source is completely trustworthy.

    19. BlackOverlordd on

      I’m sick and tired of this disgusting propaganda machine trying to excuse terrorist bullshit at every opportunity. Are they on Iranian government payroll?

    20. DarkTwistxo on

      and nothing will happen, nothing will change. The BBCnews hold the license payers in contempt, they just don’t care.

    21. Bananern on

      I’m not Brittish, but every time I hear about the BBC it seems like they’re acting like an unironic propaganda platform

    24. MJamal111 on

      yhyh we get it israel are the most moral army killing and raping women and children on mass and hamas is the real monster

    25. KebabsMate on

      I would support the BBC, if it wasn’t for this HUGE oversight.

      Oh and that small thing that they protected a pedophile and covered everything up when they found out about it. Just like the GOP and Epstein is doing right this second.

      Fuck the BBC. You are a fucking completely untrustworthy rag that only survives due to the forced monthly subscription you try to enforce by law.

      I knew this was familiar. This is the same news [from February](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c07zz5937llo), [then July](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn7dpvee4gkt) rehashed again for maximum impact. The conclusion that readers reached at the time was that 1) yes, BBC could do better, but 2) who the heck is going to narrate about Gaza without being afraid of saying the wrong thing because 3) Hamas is a threat to anyone living in Gaza.

      BTW, the narrator is just the son of a minister of agriculture, not a member of Hamas itself.
