If the BBC’s coverage of Israel and the Palestinians is terrible, BBC Arabic Service is far worse. Now a short piece here spells out what some of its staff have been saying: “The Hitler sympathiser on the BBC,” by Nicole Lampert, Spiked, May 1, 2025: BBC Arabic is the BBC’s most influential foreign-language service, reaching […]
Reporter who appears on BBC Arabic tells Jews: ‘We love death for Allah’s sake. We shall burn you as Hitler did.’
Whenever these people are exposed, the BBC insists that they aren’t actual BBC employees, but just people they’ve worked with as independent contractors and the like. Yet the pattern is clear. The BBC has featured so many people who say things of this kind, and so few, if any at all, who say the opposite. […]
The Least Objective, and Most Objectionable, Reporter in the History of the BBC
Ahmed Alagha is perhaps the least objective, and most objectionable, reporter in the history of the BBC. He provides a special house blend of anti-Israel animus and unapologetic antisemitism. Robert Spencer wrote about him here, and you can find out more about him here: “BBC Arabic freelance journalist describes Jews as ‘devils,’ defended Oct. 7 […]
BBC Arabic ‘journalist’: ‘Israelis are not human beings,’ ‘Jews are devils’
“Indeed, the worst of animals in Allah’s sight are the ungrateful who will not believe.” (Qur’an 8:55) “Indeed, the unbelievers among the people of the book and the idolaters will remain in the fire of Gehenna. They are the most vile of created beings.” (Qur’an 98:6) “You will find the Jews and the idolaters the […]
The BBC, Unfair to Israel Yet Again
The group inside the BBC known as “BBC Verify” was founded in 2023, after years of complaints about BBC bias, especially in the anti-Israel animus its reporters and editors so often displayed. BBC Verify, the BBC self-satisfiedly tells the world, consists of 60 experts in fact-checking and in ferreting out “disinformation.” It is supposed to […]
BBC gave Syria’s jihad leader obsequious favorable coverage
“The body language! There was the murderous Jolani – an erstwhile jihadi who bounced between the group that committed the 9/11 atrocities and the one that beheaded James Foley – swaggering along the cavernous corridors of Assad’s presidential palace. And beside him scurried the… pic.twitter.com/Z0dWcYdgtj — Jake Wallis Simons (@JakeWSimons) March 9, 2025 For example: […]
A World of Woe Awaits the BBC, and it’s Richly Deserved
The scandal surrounding the BBC’s meretricious pro-Hamas documentary continues: “Mass Protests Continue Outside BBC Headquarters as Corporation Faces Intense Scrutiny for Gaza Documentary,” by Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner, March 7, 2025: “Since transmission, they [Hoyt [sic] Films] have acknowledged that they knew that the boy’s father was a deputy agriculture minister in the Hamas government; they […]
Demonstration at the BBC: ‘We Refuse to Fund Terrorists’
Here’s a how-de-do: a demonstration outside BBC headquarters, for once not taking the side of Hamas, but of Israel, with the demonstrators angered by the bias shown in a “documentary” about Gaza that was narrated by a 13-year-old Arab boy, Abdullah, who turned out to be the son of a high-ranking Hamas official, and whose […]
BBC Produces a Propaganda Film for Hamas
The documentary filmmaker Hoyo Films paid hundreds of thousands of pounds to a Hamas-linked family for a BBC documentary. It’s a major scandal, and more about it can be found here: “BBC Apologizes for ‘Unacceptable’ Mistakes With Gaza Documentary, Admits Palestinian Interviewees’ Ties to Hamas,” by Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner, February 28, 2025: Deborah Turness, the […]
BBC Apologizes for its Gaza Documentary
The BBC has been forced to publicly apologize for showing Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone, a so-called “documentary” about how children are faring in Gaza. The film is full of carefully chosen, and even some deliberately staged, views of children trying to survive amidst the rubble. The film-whitewashes Hamas as a brave “resistance” […]
