Humanising stories:
BBC ran nearly the same number of victim profiles for Palestinians (279) & Israelis (201) — despite 34 times more Palestinian deaths.
📣 Emotive language like “slaughter” & “massacre” was used 4x more often for Israelis.

🎙️ Whose voices count?
The BBC interviewed:
🔹 2,350 Israelis
🔹 1,085 Palestinians

#BBCBias @BBCNews

BBC asked 38 guests to condemn Hamas. It asked zero to condemn Israel’s mass killing of civilians.

#BBCBias

🕊️ Context erased:
Only 0.5% of BBC articles mentioned Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
The BBC only mentioned ‘occupation’ 14 times in news articles when providing context to 7 October (0.3% of articles)
Apartheid, settlements, expulsions — all missing from the story.

📵 Genocide claims shut down:
BBC presenters interrupted or dismissed genocide claims over 100 times — yet made no mention of Netanyahu’s Amalek reference or genocidal rhetoric by Israeli leaders.
The BBC is underreporting what the world increasingly sees as a live-streamed genocide.

🔒 Unequal victims:
The BBC called Israeli captives "hostages" - but Palestinian detainees, incl. children held without charge, were "prisoners."
During a major hostage exchange (90 Palestinians, 3 Israelis), 70% of articles focused on the 3 Israelis.

🎥 Gaza vs Ukraine:
The BBC:
🔸 Mentioned Russian war crimes 2.6x more than Israeli ones
🔸 Used sympathetic language for Ukrainian victims 2x more than for Palestinians
🔸 Covered Ukraine with twice as many articles
So much for equal coverage.

📑 The Centre for Media Monitoring @cfmmuk calls for an independent public review of the BBC’s Gaza reporting.
This report is evidence-based, rigorous & damning. The BBC must reform.
