Israel to "conquer" Gaza

How do you know it was deliberate? There was a quick retraction which is more than most media do when they make a mistake. The BBC is recognised by many overseas countries as being one of the best public broadcasting organisations in the world, if you don't like the information they give you there's lots of media that's funded by rich people with a very clear political agenda to listen to. I know which I prefer.
Fwiw I'm always amused to see that the BBC is seen as right wing by some and left wing by others and it's usually IMO because people object to what the news is actually about on that day. Eg not enough criticism of Hamas? Probably because the actual news of the day is the IDF bombing a hospital or Netanyahu has made a statement about not allowing food aid in to Gaza etc There's a difference between "news" and "opinion"!

The 'biased' BBC have shown Netanyahu this morning condemning the UK, Canada and France for helping Hamas. Is that bias for Israel? They showed the interview and as always no comment or "criticism" was made.

Many young Jews on social media blame the UN and the media
for the lies about the deaths from malnutrition over 48 hours
and the deaths of two young people in Washington

The former Israeli prime minister has said that the present administration are "a gang of thugs".

Just shows how social media distorts the truth Annie and people need more balanced news reporting than social media.

Radio 4 Today has done a very good report about 24 hours in Gaza and the aid - over the past day.

Interestingly, 17 British Jewish journalists have signed a letter addressed to Egypt and Israel appealing with them to lift the ban on foreign press saying the refusal to allow access was

“an unacceptable restriction on our professional responsibility to inform readers, viewers and listeners accurately and impartially”.

Good to see them taking a stand.

Yes foxie , I felt so sad for those young people, knowing they
are hated ,

We need to see news reports from as many sources as possible to get at the truth.
As David49 says, hamas wants only women and children holding pots to be shown.
Looking at images on Sky News yesterday there was footage of a anti hamas protest group, all men naturally, well dressed with nice watches holding up their smart phones.
Now that doesn’t mean that all in Gaza are able to dress well and not be hungry and have working phones but neither does it mean all are the opposite.
Hamas released pics and images are often staged.
At this stage of the conflict I’m all for having as many journalists there as possible in order to get a more accurate picture.

We are speaking of antisemitism, would there be accurate reporting,

Agree Oreo.

Propaganda is massively ramped up in times of conflict and it can be difficult to see the wood for the trees.

Yes read this article I would say this mornings BBC I player front page reporting. -(as mentioned above in parts)

- the only front page article on Gaza/Israel

an example of very balanced reporting.

Here it is to read in full:

"Netanyahu accuses Starmer of siding with Hamas"

It’s a speech by the Israeli PM, they couldn’t twist it, and to applaud the BBC for showing a speech by an Israeli PM is
unbelievable, or not !

I certainly don't hate the Jewish people and I don't believe any of the posters on this thread have said they do.
I disagree strongly with the Israeli government but to say the Jewish people are hated is very wrong.

Strange I know but in the interview with the young Jews there
was no mention of GransNet posters views

So does anyone think that the Canadian Prime Minister, the French President and the British prime minister were wrong in their criticism of Israel. And because they have criticised the Israeli governments actions, do you think that the are anti-Semitic?

So you take it upon yourself to say the young Jews are hated? By whom? This country? The whole world?

I quoted some young Jews , you question their right to speak?

Of course some media could "twist" it^ (and probably have) to suit their narrative - this way we get to decide for ourselves.

Which interview, please. I would like to listen to these young people.

Probably Instagram, uTube or TikTok

My guess would be in the West Bank at the moment, both young Jewish people and young Palestinians feel hated.

My guess is that many Muslims are in situations where they feel hated or marginalised in the UK as well as Jewish people.

Its horrible but the level of conflict in the Middle East is bringing the worst out in people.

Any key words to help to locate it?

Sort no,, I just looked at them during the night, insomnia
