The BBC’s response below is brazenly dishonest. They never feature informed pro-Israel speakers or anyone who even comes close to speaking honestly and accurately about the Islamic jihad imperative.
“BBC stands by ‘kill the Jews’ doctor,” by Jane Prinsley, The JC, October 9, 2024:
A Gazan doctor who praised Palestinians who “killed the Jews” appeared repeatedly on the BBC, even after the corporation had been told about her social media history, the JC can reveal.
The BBC was informed about Dr Amira Al-Assouli’s past social media activity – which ranges from promising Israelis will be “vomited out” of the region, praising Jew-killers as “martyrs” and claiming “Jews are traitors” – after she appeared on a segment in March about Israel’s raid on Nasser hospital.
But the Palestinian doctor featured on the BBC again in May – after the corporation’s director-general Tim Davie told the Culture, Media and Sport Committee that some social media messages posted by commentators were “unacceptable” and promised action would be taken.
In one shocking post, Assouli wrote on Facebook in 2014 that “a thousand Jihad fighters shall be born with every martyr, and our land shall vomit your bodies out, you shall scattered in the land as you used to be and as Allah has written for you [sic]”.
In another post, she praised Gazans who “killed the Jews” and expressed joy over a “hero” synagogue shooter who murdered five people. When three civilians in Tel Aviv were killed in 2022, she called the attacker a “martyr” and said he will go to “heaven”.
She has repeatedly posted about Israel “without the Jews” and has written that “the Jews are traitors.” On October 7, she changed her Facebook profile picture to an image of her holding a sign which read: “This land cannot accommodate two identities. [It is] either us – or us”….
A BBC spokesperson said: “We refute these allegations. BBC News Arabic, like all BBC News output it is committed to hearing from a range of contributors and experts to offer a variety of views and perspectives from the Middle East. Across our coverage, we frequently hosted experts and interviewees with varying viewpoints and our journalists will continue to routinely question and challenge the views of contributors on air. We are clear that there is no place for antisemitism in our output.”…

If Dr. Mengele were a Palestinian instead of a German, he would be praised by the BBC.
Rick Gordon says
When I was younger the BBC was identified and hailed as an objective news source. I don’t understand how a person with this documented background could be given BBC approvals and air time.
Of course, the same could be said for the New York Times and Washington Post. Now, all of these have been taken over by journalists who view the world through extreme leftist eyes. It is a shame and makes the job of any citizen who is looking for valid information much more difficult.
James Lincoln says
Whatever the BBC used to have for “fair and balanced” journalism is long gone.
Long gone.
Brenrod says
Since BBC Arabic and the spread of BBC World Service the BBC caters to the foreign constituency which pays its way. It’s called Whore journalism.

Islam is using a migration invasion to take over the world. It starts at the bottom and works its way up through our society by being active in low level political and social organizations and then moves up as advisors to political individuals and organizations all the way to the top leaders of our countries.

Just sickening–but who can be surprised at this point?
