It’s not just the BBC. The entire establishment media has made it a priority to downplay, deny, or obscure any news that might make people think ill of Islam. And so the BBC removed references to “Jews” and “jihad” to avoid giving viewers in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain the idea that “Palestinian” jihadis were antisemitic or engaged in a religious war that could not be ended by Israeli concessions.
The BBC should be defunded and shut down. But of course it will not be.
“BBC removed references to ‘Jews’ and ‘jihad’ in Gaza documentary,” by Neil Johnston and Akhtar Makoii, Telegraph, February 25, 2025:
The BBC has been accused of “whitewashing” the views of participants in its controversial Gaza documentary after repeatedly mistranslating references to “the Jews” and omitting praise of “jihad”.
The Telegraph can reveal that on at least five occasions the words Yahud or Yahudy – Arabic for “Jew” or “Jews” – were changed to “Israel” or “Israeli forces”, or were removed from the subtitles altogether.
An interviewee praising Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader, for “jihad against the Jews” was also mistranslated as saying he was fighting “Israeli forces”.
The BBC is under pressure to reveal whether taxpayers’ money was given to Hamas during the making of Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone.
Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, said that if the BBC finds evidence money was given to Hamas, then counter terror police should investigate….
Around four minutes in, a Gazan woman among a convoy fleeing from part of the besieged strip is asked by the cameraman: “What’s going on?” She replies: “The Jews invaded our [area].” However, the BBC subtitles quote her as saying: “The Israeli army invaded our area.”
In another clip, around half an hour in, a boy says that he had left home because of bombings and that “the Jews came, they destroyed us, Hamas and the Jews”. This was translated in subtitles as “the Israelis destroyed everything, and so did Hamas”….
Towards the end of the documentary, a Palestinian woman holds her phone as she shows the camera crew footage of Sinwar being killed. In the subtitles, she is quoted as saying that “his face was covered and his weapon was ready, prepared for battle”, but a translation reveals she says that he was “ready for jihad”.
Later, the participant is quoted as saying: “The video shows that he was fighting and resisting Israeli forces. He wasn’t hiding.” But according to Camera, the woman says: “He was engaging in resistance and jihad against the Jews. Not underground.”…

Obviously propaganda and not a documentary. I know the BBC has been leftist for some time but I still thought they took facts into account … maybe no9t so much now. Have they been taken over by The Guardian?

The muslim cash train runs deep in the media. As long as muslim states have money they will support and buy propaganda in the media and our politician’s.

The thing is, this is never going to stop from the BBC.
For years, more and more people have refused to pay the licence fee, which funds this treason.
The time where they just get them the money in some other way is fast approaching due to that.
This government will make sure they get all the funding they need.
Our beloved PM arrives in the US tomorrow. Has a bit of explaining to to do.
I’m sure the high on the list will be the Chagos Islands.
What Biden told Starmer to do, is obviously about to be reversed.
Bend over Starmer, you’ll probably enjoy it anyway 2TQ.

Leftists defend Islam and its Muslims using lies and deceit to prevent the truth from being told about Islam’s terrorism, discrimination, and violence against Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran.
Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam and its Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous Muslim war, a religious duty, against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam due to UNBELIEF and BLASPHEMY against Allah when Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS(MTO) for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 3:151; 9:5,29,111 and more).
The FRUIT of Islam is incessant WAR, ideological subversion, propaganda, terrorism, discrimination, slavery, malice, ISLAMIZATION, and violence against all Non-Muslims; this FACT must be taught and broadcast to the general public to prohibit Islam, its Mosques, its Courts, and its Schools(See Islamic Law Manual – “Reliance of the Traveller”, 9.0- and more). Also, Islam is an Antichrist System terrorizing Israel, Christians, and Non-Muslims(Quran 3:28,54; 5:51 and more). Plus, there is NO EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW in Islam or in Islamic Law(Quran 5:51; 9:29; 98:6-7 and more). In Sahih Bukhari(V6,B60,N80), Abu Huraira narrates, “‘You(Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised for mankind.’ means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them[Non-Muslims] with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam[see Quran 3:110].” See also Quran 3:22,151; 69:30-32; 98:6-7.

The entirety of the Western left is living an alternate reality that will eventually lead to really bad things. Some were able to see it coming way back when.
Living On a Thin Line. 1984.

Yep, you read it right, 1984.

Sollten die Bürger von Großbritannien nicht mal von der staatlichen Finanzierung der BBC- also von den Steuergeldern der Bürger – befreit werden ?
In Deutschland werden die Bürger durch eine Zwangsabgabe für den öffentlich rechtlichen Rundfunk gezwungen, eine einseitig links-extremistische Propaganda zu finanzieren.
Die Anti-Israelische Propaganda ist nicht nur bei der BBC ein Markenzeichen.

Some would translate “Großbritannien” as “Britain is gross” and many think that’s true.

I have read that some British Leftist NGOs have been laying off half their staff, after the USAID 💸 to them was cut off
Now let’s see how much will TV license fees cover them!

The BBC has been aligning itself with the Arabs in the Arab-Israeli conflict for decades. This is just another manifestation of the Red-Green, Muslim-Marxist alliance. It’s also a result of the enormous number of Arab people employed by the BBC in its Arabic Language department, probably the largest foreign language department in the BBC. There is also a historical angle to this: in 1290, Jews were expelled from England by King Edward. The expulsion order was never officially rescinded by the British parliament. It was only during the era of Cromwell that Jews were allowed back into the country – primarily traders from Amsterdam to stimulate the economy in London. But an element of Jew-hatred has always survived in the UK: from the anti-Jewish characters in English literature to the romanticized image of the poor Arab fighting for “freedom” in the story of Lawrence of Arabia. The Balfour Declaration was a bright moment in the history of the Jews in the UK, but that did not last long as the promises of the declaration were chipped away in favour of the Arabs in the territory of the British Mandate.

The UK should take the lead of the USA and move to defund all government-subsidized media (PBS / NPR).
But they won’t…

We didn’t expect anything better from the forever-biased BBC and its brainwashed faux-“journalists” a number of whom are also working for the well-known philantrhopic unbiased Qatar “Al Jazeera”–the poster media for anti-Israel, anti-Christian Islamist propaganda.
The UK is a faltering “democracy” with Brits taking to the streets to voice their anger and frustration at their new “leader” the inept pro-Islamist who is flirting with Sharia–while gangs of young Pakistanis are busy grooming young girls for sex slavery as epr Q’aran anyway!
The separation of State and Church has been there for a while, but this does not apply te Political Islam with its antiSemitic, Christianophobic, Hinduphobic and Misogynist criminal agenda and whose goal is to support terrorist jihadists (as Turkey did in “Syria”‘s new jihadist regime worshipped by UK & EU “leaders”!
The UK, as JD Vance said recently that the UK is the
“”first truly Islamist country” to obtain nuclear weapons after Labour won the election”!
