BBC Gaza Output: Editorial Errors Consistently Skewing Against Israel Amid ‘How To Survive A War Zone’ Debacle


When the BBC admits to editorial errors in its coverage of the Gaza conflict, its mistakes are overwhelmingly skewing against Israeli interests.

The most recent of these apologies was made last week in relation to Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone, which was removed from iPlayer after a string of concerns were raised about the documentary, including that its main subject was not declared as being the son of a Hamas minister. Other notable apologies included the corporation acknowledging last year that BBC London News wrongly described a Palestine protest as a “vigil” at a cinema screening of a film documenting Hamas’ Nova festival massacre. In the one ruling on output perceived as being favorable to the Israeli agenda, the ECU said that an online BBC News article omitted relevant information about how Israel’s actions in Gaza had contributed to food insecurity in the region.
