A student opening their results live on the BBC: “On that note, I want to say Free Palestine, end the genocide and the BBC is complicit…” The BBC reporter quickly interjected and said “we’re here to talk about A-Level results… Gaza is a whole different subject…”

“Israel says Anas al-Sharif was a member of Hamas…” Hang your heads in shame BBC News (UK) You are the lowest of the low.

Keir Starmer asked in the football dressing room about Palestine. “I think there should be a ceasefire…” he says. “Why aren’t you stopping it? Let’s get it done…” Ordinary people in London holding the prime minister to account more than mainstream journalists.

London stands unconditionally with Palestine in the face of Israel’s terrorism 🇵🇸✊🏼

Trafalgar Square, London 📍🇵🇸

Hey Sky News — why did you mute the word ‘famine’ as your presenter quoted the UN’s humanitarian chief condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza?

Huge crowds here in Walthamstow with a message that is loud and clear: no to fascism, refugees are welcome here ✊🏼

Sky News reporting on Israel invading and bombing Syria using “Israel says” and “Israel denies”. Is this journalism?

“IDF soldiers climbed on board…” That’s the Sky News euphemism for the kidnapping of civilians. Followed by regurgitating uncritically the Israeli narrative that the flotilla was “violating a lawful blockade and was designed to provoke…” Propaganda, not journalism.

“Israel rejects the findings as Hamas falsehoods…” The BBC giving Israel’s propaganda equal weight to a UN genocide report. Shameful.

Emily Thornberry has today said the government has let down the Palestinian people, and allowed Israel to act with impunity. The audacity. Here she is in October 2023 refusing to condemn Israel cutting off power and supplies to Gaza. Don’t let these people rewrite history.

“It brings a human dimension to the war…” says Sky News’ military analyst about a missing American pilot from an F-15 jet. Has Sky News ever raised that same human dimension about the US and Israel’s carpet bombing of Gaza, Lebanon and Iran?

“Israeli forces crossed the Litani River…” The BBC is reporting Israel’s illegal invasion of Lebanon yet describes it like it’s a sightseeing tour.

A guest on Sky News, speaking about the Bondi Beach attack, draws a reckless and false parallel, suggesting “pro- Palestine rallies” and chants like “from the river to the sea” are clear calls to “kill Jews worldwide” The presenter does not push back. This is disgusting.

Israeli ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely says every school, mosque and second house is a target for Israel. Asked if that’s effectively a call for the destruction of all of Gaza, she asks “do you have another solution?” A clear call for genocide.

LBC presenter Shelagh Fogarty and Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland discuss how tough life is for Israelis. “It’s the blitz… it’s very difficult to imagine… waking up the children to go to an underground shelter…” Words fail me.

“This is what Iran’s rage looks like… the explosion flattened a school, a synagogue, homes and a bomb shelter… where dozens had sought refuge…” Reporting on Israel, Sky News discover how to describe emotively, vividly and categorically. Where was this for Gaza?

“Their intelligence is very good… the Israelis are able to use AI to locate these people… the strike in Gaza was very specific…” Israel bombed a residential building overnight, killing 6 Palestinians. Yet Sky News frames it as a smooth and impressive military operation.

Gary Lineker: “I know where I stand —against the mass murder of thousands of children (in Gaza)…” When told the BBC must be impartial, he points out that it wasn’t on Ukraine. When told it all started on Oct 7, he rightly corrects it: “It started way before Oct 7…”

Traffic being controlled in Middlesbrough according to colour of skin. This is frightening.

Listen to language Sky News uses when reporting on the US attack on Venezuela: “stunning,” “spectacular,” “lit up the night sky…” You’d never guess they’re describing a coup, illegal strikes, and a kidnapping. This is propaganda, not journalism.

Sky News interviewed a Jewish protester about Netanyahu’s UN speech. “The genocide supporters like to point to October 7… this didn’t start 2 years ago… this is 70+ years of occupation… Israel is an apartheid, ethnonationalist state…” Conveniently, Sky News cut the feed.

“You are accused of being a war criminal… if you went to several countries in Europe you’d be arrested… …this is not just mad campus radicalism…” The Economist’s editor-in-chief to Netanyahu. Imagine losing The Economist.

“Can you still call it a ceasefire when two IDF soldiers have been killed?”, asks the Sky News host. 45 Palestinians were killed in Gaza today btw

“I’m going to be on the side of Israel wherever I can defending them… … I believe the IDF has done everything it can to protect civilian life in Gaza…” Michael Gove with outright genocide denial.

“Ground incursion… continuing ground presence…ground operation… defensive manoeuvre…” The BBC trying every possible phrase just to avoid saying that Israel is illegally invading Lebanon. This is a crash course in propaganda.

“Anti-Zionism is a new way to say I hate Jews.” Shelagh Fogarty stated this on LBC - not as an opinion, but as fact. Astonishing.

“It’s not antisemitic to say what Israel does is wrong… There’s a lot of heavy lobbying on people to be quiet…” Gary Lineker saying what journalists in the UK refuse to

“The IDF has sent an urgent message to all residents in Beirut… they’re saying for everyone’s safety and safety of families to leave… directly speaking to people…” Sky News presents Israel’s illegal evacuation orders as it prepares to bombard Lebanon as an act of kindness.
