Exclusive:
Just weeks after @BBCNews is forced to take down a documentary because the narrator was the son of a Hamas official - it completely whitewashes two terrorist families - both tied to key figures in the Islamic Jihad.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The article was written after Israel's recent strikes against the terrorists. The BBC only had one thing in mind - to demonise Israel.
So it uncritically parroted Hamas numbers - and portrayed Israel as bloodthirsty child killers - a classic antisemitic trope.
The article was written by Jon Donnison - an anti-Israel hack who clearly knows nothing about Gaza at all. It relies on two fathers - both grieving - and portrays the families as innocent victims of Israeli brutality...
So I want you to meet them.
Alaa bu Hihal was the face of the BBC article. On October 9 2023 he posted this, mourning his uncle - Rafat Abu Hilal. Rafat was the commander of the Palestine Revolutionary Committees 'Salah al Din Brigades' - the PRC's military group. So a leader of a Jihadist group in Gaza.
I tracked down Abu Hilal's wife. Her name was Afnan Al-Ghannam. On May 23rd 2023 she posted this - mourning her uncle. This is Jihad Shaker al-Ghannam. He was secretary general of the military council of the al-Quds Brigades – Islamic Jihad‘s military wing.
These are some of her cousins
This is an image from her uncle's funeral - and the man in the blue-grey shirt in the bottom right corner leading the procession - is Afnan Al-Ghannam's father.
Just look at this incredible image. The nephew of the military commander of the Palestine Resistance committee closes the deal to marry the niece of the secretary general of the military council of Islamic Jihad.
And this is the man the BBC chose to use for its headline image?
That's family one. What about family two?
Father number two is a strange story. We are told Karam Hameid lost his three boys. For some reason the article does not mention he also lost his wife! Did he not tell the BBC, did they edit it out? That omission is just inexplicable.
Her name was Kholoud Bassam Quraiqa (Hamid). Here she is posting about Hassan and Mohammed
Her name is important because it was the Bassam Quraiqa house that was targeted. And sure enough - the clan is affiliated to Islamic Jihad. Here is Kholoud mourning the loss of her cousin Kamal
And this is Kamal from Islamic Jihad
Here is Kholoud mourning other 'martyrs' from the Quraiqa family.. including is Field Commander Hazem Awad Quraiqa.
Here she is (before she was a mum) posting an image of her sister Dina....
Here is her sister Dina out with the family
None of this is on Israel - this is all on the radical Islamic terror groups. So there you have it. The BBC presented a case of two innocent and grieving families - torn apart by Israeli army thuggery - and the truth is that Israel clearly targeted two terrorist households.
The BBC cannot help itself. But it is not just them. We need an urgent government led inquiry into how our media outlets have become willing puppets to Islamic terror groups. You can read the full story (with additional detail) in this article. david-collier.com/bbc-terrorist-…
