    The passieve voice from the media is astounding. Hijacking a schip in international water and kidnapping the crew is a grave offense.

      Drop Site News spoke to 13 current and former staffers who mapped out the extensive bias in the BBC’s coverage and how their demands for change have been largely met with silence from management. At times, these journalists point out, the coverage has been more credulous about Israeli claims than the UK’s own Conservative leaders and the Israeli media, while devaluing Palestinian life, ignoring atrocities, and creating a false equivalence in an entirely unbalanced conflict.

      In November, the journalists’ outrage at the Corporation’s overall coverage spilled out into the open after more than 100 BBC employees signed a letter accusing the organization, along with other broadcasters, of failing to adhere to its own editorial standards. The BBC lacked “consistently fair and accurate evidence-based journalism in its coverage of Gaza” across its platforms, they wrote.

      The BBC are a captured organisation.

      Drop Site News are new to me, I have no idea of their credibility. But Owen Jones (the journalist who wrote this) is a famous journalist who regularly writes for The Guardian.

        Yeah maybe it’s a bad source, I just wanted to share the first notable English language source I could find (originally read an article in my native language). What would be a better source to share news like this in the future when almost every outlet will report on it? Reuters?

          To be honest, I’ve no idea. All I know is the BBC can’t be trusted.

          I’ve not heard anything bad about Reuters and as they’re the journalists’ journalists then they’re probably alright, but I don’t really know.

    They are attacking a civilian ship in international waters, seems like something an innocent state would do /s

    ETA: Other news sites are reporting they are spraying the boat with irritant foam.

    (Not a direct quote, just paraphrasing):

    IDF claims all 12 aid workers will be returned to their home countries

    SoMeHoW, I don’t believe them. They certainly won’t be returned with all their bones intact

    Zionists deserve vigilante justice.

    Every time a Zionist is attacked and tries to play victim, remember all the children they’re killing with impunity.
