Israel-Gaza conflict: BBC News says it was wrong to air comparison of Hamas attacks to Warsaw Ghetto uprising (web.archive.org)

The BBC has admitted that an interview with a lecturer at Gaza’s Islamic University who claimed the Hamas attacks on Israel were “the same” as the Warsaw Ghetto uprising should not have been aired.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews complained about the interview with Refaat Alareer, titled on-screen as a “Palestinian educator”, broadcast on Saturday on the BBC News channel.

Arguing that the attacks by what he termed “the Palestinian resistance” were “legitimate and moral”, Alareer went on to say the killings were “exactly like the Warsaw ghetto uprising”, referencing the battle fought by the Jewish resistance when the Nazis tried to “liquidate” the Polish city’s ghetto in 1943.

In otherwords, we can't compare them because how dare you conflate the Nazi killings of Jews to Jews killing Palestinians.

BBC going full pigpoop

BBC rushes to rescind a rare moment of being correct.

Also, as always; Judaism is not Zionism and Zionism is not Judaism. Israel does not speak for or act on behalf of all Jewish people, only on behalf of Zionists.

They corrected this, but not the ”lesbians say they're being pressured for sex by trans women” article.

Idk what it is about England, but their political machine is just constantly churning out lies to bolster their aggressive conflation of antizionism with antisemitism. They're still fucking harping on Roger Waters comparing the plight of Holocaust victims to the plight of Palestinians as "mocking Anne Frank"

Not to mention that they'll still lie about Corbyn through their fangs

Horrific, but I'm not in much of a position to talk. I think the reason why I don't see as much of that conflation in the US (we seem to just emphasize the violence) is that we have more people who think of themselves as 'righteous' antisemites. Those fuckers still love Israel while they hate Jews and think they somehow run the world, of course. Dispensationalism go brrr

Man who's living in a strip of land he cannot legally leave, unable to drink water and running his electronics off a backup generator because Israel has turned off all the water gas and electricity, breathing concrete dust and gunpowder: "I feel as if we are living in a ghetto and are going to be exterminated"

BBC: "Sorry, only white people can say those things. Do you condemn Hamas?"
