🚨 @BBCNews’ latest “explainer” on Hamas is offensively bad. It reads like PR for a terror group. It sanitizes mass murderers & rapists — exposing the BBC’s contempt for Israel & Jews. The BBC has become what it claims to report on: a platform spreading hate. 🧵

The headline: “What is Hamas and why is it fighting with Israel?”
Not: “Why did Hamas massacre 1,200 Israelis on Oct 7?”
The BBC frames it as a “fight” & parrots Hamas lines — “decades of oppression,” “blockade,” even “defending Islam’s 3rd holiest site.”

Much of it is just wrong. Hamas hasn’t said it only wants the West Bank & East Jerusalem.
It has openly, repeatedly declared it wants to wipe out all Jews & Israelis.
Hamas’s charter is explicit: “Israel will exist until Islam obliterates it.”

And here’s the kicker: the BBC ends with false equivalence. “Both Israel and Hamas have been accused of committing war crimes.”
One is a democracy defending its citizens. The other is a terror group that slaughters them. That distinction matters.

This isn’t an explainer. It’s an excuse-maker.
The BBC’s whitewashing of Hamas doesn’t just distort the truth. It normalizes terrorism. That makes their reporting part of the problem. honestreporting.com/head-of-bbc-ne…
