We have said that @bbcnews has become a propaganda tool of Hamas.
Well here is the proof. Sit down and hold on to something.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
We need to talk about the BBC2 documentary run last night about children surviving the Gaza war.
A co-producer was a Palestinian activist - and one of the cameramen the BBC had hired in Gaza had saluted Oct 7.
A lot of the content was clearly staged. And the star of the show was a young Gazan boy called Abdullah -
Abdullah is from one of Gaza's affluent families and narrates the hour long documentary.
Now we need to go back to a Channel 4 news piece from November 2023. We are introduced to a young lad called Abdullah - the same Abdullah as the BBC used.
Channel 4 give his name as Abdullah Abu Shamalah - and introduce us to his father.
But here is where it gets interesting. That is not his name - and the man in the video is not his father. Someone lied to Channel 4.
In fact the name of the man playing the father in the video is Khalil Abu Shammala
He is the Director of a PFLP linked anti-Israel propaganda NGO called Al Dameer. This full time activist -was no doubt on site orchestrating whatever nonsense Channel 4 was being fed. They believe any old crap. It included pretending to be Abdullah's father.
The two people are related though. I searched FB - and found Shammala posting about his nephew. It is a video from 2022 - and shows that they had Abdullah in training to be a child propagandist for years. But it also gave me his real name. Abdullah Ayman Eliyazouri.
And with that name I could did further - I found a post that connected the Shammala and Eliyazouri clans. It was likely I now had Abdullah's father - Ayman Alyazouri.
And sure enough on Ayman's timeline were plenty of references to his son Abdullah ('Aboud').
And then things start to be very clear. Because Abdullah's (the BBC narrator) father is an official in the Hamas government. He currently holds the position of Deputy Minister of Agriculture - but has held official positions in education and planning.
Here is the father of Abdullah (the person who the BBC let demonise Israel for 60 minutes) - at an event in full Hamas gear.
The naivety, stupidity and arrogance of our media has allowed Palestinian propagandists to turn our legacy channels into foolish outlets blindly spouting Hamas lies 24/7.
Here is a post from Abdullah's father, praising Hamas terrorists who murdered four Israelis in June 2023.
In Gaza you do not achieve a position of power (head of a hospital, head of anything) unless your clan has factional weight. The same is true here. Ibrahim al-Yazouri was a founder of Hamas alongside Sheikh Yassin. On February 11 2021, Ibrahim al-Yazouri died of coronavirus.
And sure enough on 11 February 2021 - the father of our BBC narrator - posted a family mourning message for a founder of the Hamas terrorist group.
A few days before this - he had explicitly called him the head of the clan (family). Which means both Ayman and his son Abdullah - are 100% Hamas royalty.
The two photographers followed these children around for months. They absolutely knew who he was. Did either of the producers?
How did the BBC let a son of a Hamas minister walk around looking for sympathy and demonising Israel for an hour in a BBC documentary??
The BBC is publishing Hamas propaganda. We have the proof now. There is more detail and a few extra pieces - as well as all the links - in this article. david-collier.com/bbc-pantomime/

Another day - another reason to talk about how @bbcnews has turned into a UK version of Al-Jazeera.
The BBC team went to Dearborn Michigan - and posted a clip with an interview of three 'random' Arab Americans.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The BBC journo in Dearborn is Merlyn Thomas - a BBC Verify hack I once caught using an IRGC controlled journalist as a reliable witness.
Anyway, she is in Dearborn and describes the city largely 'liberal'
(the WSJ have called it 'America's Jihad Capital').
In the short clip two of the three (random people) viciously attack Trump. One says Trumps comments on Gaza are 'unlawful and delusional'. Another calls Trump 'illiterate', saying he has never read a book. Extracts in clip below.
Yesterday we saw horrific images being streamed from Gaza once more, as Hamas conducted another hostage release circus. Some will try to deceive you into believing that the creation of Hamas - and its actions - are somehow the fault of Israeli behaviour.
A thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Oct 7 was the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust - and Hamas also captured 100s of Jews - taking them hostage. Yesterday we saw three being returned - the horrific images a visual reminder of genocidal abuse..
Since Oct 7 - faced with inexcusable violence and genocidal intent - anti-Israel activists - and toxic antisemitic NGOs - have tried to victim blame.... suggesting that somehow Israel was at fault for the actions of Hamas.
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.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
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.
