There comes a time when you have to accept there is no saving @bbcnews, and we are way past that point.
I just had a look at a major investigation they just published on an IDF strike in Lebanon. Anti-Zionist student journalism does not even begin to cover it.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Last week I put out a thread on the journalist - an activist with a history of anti-Zionist activity - and someone who has worked for Iranian and Qatari propaganda rags.
Who at the BBC employs people like this to write about Israel?
This was an expensive investigation - and the article came with its own documentary. The piece tht painted Israel as a 'spiteful enemy'. The journalist wanted to talk up civilian casualties while working hard to downplay Hezbollah involvement.
So tired of seeing @bbcnews output that is nothing more than propaganda put together by the BBC's anti-Zionist activist 'journalists' - who are somehow allowed to feed their anti-Israel obsessions with the licence fee cash.

The latest 'viral' contribution is a good example. You must have seen it. A months long (and very expensive) 'investigation' into an IDF strike on a Hezbollah target - that did kill Hezbollah terrorists. The BBC even made a documentary about how many civilians were killed.
The piece relies on two key pillars.
One: To find out who is and who is not a terrorist - you just have to ask them nicely. If they say they are not - or if you look online and can't find evidence they are Hezbollah, then they are *definitely* not Hezbollah.
A short thread. This really does need pushback. On 9 January Abubaker Abed posted a clip of himself dressed as a journalist - talking about how the international community needs to stand by Palestinian journalists:
His video received almost 5 million views and 32K likes
Anti-Israel politicians and journos jumped on it. For example Alex Crawford from Sky spoke about how let down Gazan journalists feel and said it was impossible to feel anything but shame.
There are so many naive and easily fooled people that there are an endless stream of people quoting the 'heroic' post. Anthony Loewenstein spoke of his 'powerful words' and called him a 'brave journalist'
A few days ago I saw a FB post from a Rabbi in Jerusalem complaining about how he was treated in a @BBCNEWS interview. Told it was about Chanukah - he just faced a barrage of aggressive questions.
So I checked - and it was even worse than the Rabbi realised. Thread⬇️⬇️⬇️
There wasn't one interview - there were three. A set. Spread over several hours the BBC had interviewed 3 religious leaders - a Reverend an Imam and a Rabbi.
For me it was a perfect opportunity. It means we can compare the way they were treated. And the difference is shocking
First up the Reverend. His interview was headed with a clip about an Israeli strike on a humanitarian tent in Gaza. It set up the demonisation process.
It is Christmas time - and Christmas is a wonderful holiday.
But people also use it to spread lies and turn Christians against Jews, and so I want to take the opportunity to share five historical facts with followers and friends that are important to remember.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Let us start with the obvious.
Jesus was born a Jew into a Jewish family. Jesus had a Jewish upbringing and would have become a bar mitzvah.
Historical fact 1: Jesus was born Jewish
Jesus was born in Bethlehem - in Judea. The Jewish state was under Roman occupation at the time. All this is also clear from writings of the New Testamant. 'render unto Ceaser' etc.
Historical fact 2: Jesus was born in Judea, an occupied Jewish state.
Another day, another viral pack of lies spread by our mainstream media. This latest one comes from @SkyNews and the journo @YousraElbagir
I will try and get as much as I can in here - read the article at the end for the full story.

On 19th December an 80-year-old grandmother was shot during an IDF raid in the Balata camp near Nablus. Yesterday Sky News ran a heartbreaking story about how she had been shot six times. Heartbreaking headline and sure to go viral
The Sky News journo is just another anti-Israel hack. This one even got upset because Sudan had signed the Abraham accords. It placed them on the 'wrong side of history'? Who at Sky News thinks someone with this level of bias - should be allowed anywhere near Israel?
