Gaza destroyed by IDF – Aerial shot Oct 2024.\u00a0 Media Lens<\/p><\/div>\n

9 Oct 2024 <\/em>– Propaganda often works in subtle ways. Consider a BBC News headline<\/a> on its website on 3 October:<\/p>\n

\u2018Israeli air strike kills 18 people in occupied West Bank\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was noteworthy in that, for once, the BBC had made it clear that Israel was responsible for killing people, rather than using a contorted form of wording that obscured culpability as it so often does: \u201818 people die in latest violence in the West Bank\u2019.<\/p>\n

However, by the next day, the BBC headline<\/a> read:<\/p>\n

\u2018Israeli strike kills Hamas commander in occupied West Bank\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Greg Philo, head of the Glasgow Media Group, who died<\/a> earlier this year, noted<\/a> as long ago as 2011 that senior\u00a0BBC News\u00a0staff speak of \u2018waiting in fear for the phone call from the Israelis\u2019. Did such a phone call lead to the change to a more Israel-friendly headline?<\/p>\n

Consider, too, a recent interview<\/a> by BBC international editor Jeremy Bowen with Khalil al-Hayya, the deputy leader of Hamas. It was broadcast on the flagship BBC News at Ten on 3 October. BBC newsreader Clive Myrie prefaced<\/a> the interview with this remarkable caution:<\/p>\n

\u2018Many will find his comments abhorrent.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is unimaginable that BBC News would ever introduce an interview or a speech by a Western leader or Western ally with a similar remark.<\/p>\n

Recall that Israel\u2019s leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, justified Israel\u2019s genocidal attack on Gaza in a speech<\/a> to a fawning US Congress in July:<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s a clash between barbarism and civilization. It\u2019s a clash between those who glorify death and those who sanctify life.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When the BBC reported Netanyahu\u2019s words, it did not provide an editorial warning that many would find such words abhorrent. That Israel could slaughter, by the time of Netanyahu\u2019s speech, almost 40,000 Palestinians \u2013 likely several times more<\/a> \u2013 and yet describe itself as \u2018those who sanctify life\u2019 is certainly abhorrent.<\/p>\n

Similarly, when has the BBC felt the need to editorialise whenever Joe Biden, Kamala Harris or Keir Starmer declares that, \u2018Israel has a right to defend itself\u2019, effectively giving a pass to the genocidal actions of an apartheid state<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Indeed, since 7 October last year, BBC news presenters have relentlessly inserted the phrase, \u2018Israel argues that it has a right to defend itself\u2019, whenever Palestinian or pro-ceasefire spokespeople are interviewed. A BBC journalist who requested anonymity told<\/a> Al Jazeera that the phrase had been:<\/p>\n

\u2018drilled into us, into all our coverage. It was really an integral part of our editorial stance. To a guest talking about Israeli air strikes killing Palestinians in Gaza, that would be the response from our presenters.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the bogus version of \u2018impartiality\u2019 practised by the BBC: a supposed balance between the large-scale violence meted out by Israel, the massively-armed occupier, supported in multiple ways by the United States, and the violence inflicted by Palestinians, the occupied, traumatised, dispossessed and far less powerful population.<\/p>\n

When Myrie asked Bowen how the interview<\/a> with the deputy leader of Hamas came about, he replied<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u2018You know, at the BBC, we believe very strongly in impartial reporting which means, ideally, you have to sit down with people. Try and find what it is they believe in; what it is they say. And, if necessary, interrogate and challenge those statements which is what I was seeking to do in that interview in Doha.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But how often does the BBC really \u2018interrogate and challenge\u2019 statements made by Netanyahu, his ministers, Israeli spokespeople or their Western allies? A solid body of evidence<\/a> shows, in fact, that BBC journalists have been repeating and amplifying Israeli disinformation and propaganda bullet points; and not merely since 7 October 2023, as shown<\/a> over many years by the Glasgow Media Group, for example.<\/p>\n

Craig Mokhiber, who resigned last October as the director of the New York office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, in protest at the UN\u2019s weak response to Israel\u2019s \u2018textbook genocide\u2019 in Gaza, wrote<\/a> that:<\/p>\n

\u2018western media companies have made themselves a part of the mechanism of genocide in Palestine.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He pointed to:<\/p>\n

\u2018the role of complicit Western media corporations [in] knowingly disseminating Israeli disinformation and propaganda, justifying war crimes and crimes against humanity, dehumanizing Palestinians, and blacking out information on the genocide in the West. From the perspective of international human rights law, such actions could and should be subject to sanctions.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He included the BBC in his criticism:<\/p>\n

\u2018CNN, Fox, BBC, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal know what they are doing. This is not to say that these Western outlets are in every sense the modern equivalents [of] Der Sturmer<\/em> and [Rwanda\u2019s] Milles Collines<\/em> (they are not). But, like these historic examples, they have recklessly crossed the boundaries of ethical journalism and, in some cases, may find themselves legally exposed as well.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Needless to say, these news organisations, the BBC included, have never critically appraised their own role in promoting Israel\u2019s propaganda.<\/p>\n

Bowen\u2019s Tortuous Balancing Act<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the first anniversary of the 7 October attack on Israel, the BBC published a major piece<\/a> by Bowen on its website titled, \u2018Year of killing and broken assumptions has taken Middle East to edge of deeper, wider war\u2019.<\/p>\n

The vast majority of the killing has, of course, been perpetrated by Israel \u2013 including an estimated 17,000 children<\/a>. Another 26,000 children have been made orphans.<\/p>\n

Bowen noted that around 1,200 people, mostly Israeli civilians, were killed on 7 October. He neglected to mention that there is strong evidence, including reports by Israeli news media, that Israeli forces themselves killed many civilians<\/a> by implementing the deadly, so-called \u2018Hannibal Directive\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was first implemented<\/a> during Israel\u2019s occupation of southern Lebanon in 1986. The directive, which was kept secret and never published, allowed Israeli forces to use any force necessary to prevent Israeli soldiers from being captured and taken into enemy territory, even if such action would lead to those captives\u2019 deaths. After being revised several times, the directive was dropped in 2016.<\/p>\n

However, according<\/a> to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz<\/em>, it was once again implemented on 7 October last year, and extended to the killing of Israeli civilians if that was deemed necessary to prevent them being abducted by Hamas. In an article for the World Socialist Web Site, Jean Shaoul observed<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u2018As yet, the number of civilians and soldiers killed by Israeli fire is unknown, in part at least because there have been no autopsies identifying the cause of death, such as the type of weaponry used.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nor does Bowen refer to the discredited false stories<\/a> that were manufactured<\/a> by Israel about beheaded babies, civilians burned alive and the systematic use of sexual violence on 7 October \u2013 stories that were shared credulously around the world by major news media, including the BBC.<\/p>\n

Bowen said of the deputy leader of Hamas:<\/p>\n

\u2018He denied his men had targeted civilians \u2013 despite overwhelming evidence.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By striking contrast, Bowen did not refer to the overwhelming evidence that Israel has targeted<\/a> Palestinian civilians and vital infrastructure, including hospitals.<\/p>\n

US journalist Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of The Intercept, told<\/a> Al Jazeera that there was a deliberate attempt by the Israelis to portray hospitals as \u2018terror bases\u2019 for Hamas:<\/p>\n

\u2018The Israelis were pumping the public with information that was meant to convince people that hospitals are not really hospitals.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Netanyahu claimed:<\/p>\n

\u2018Hamas was using patients in that hospital [Al-Shifa] as human shields.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As Scahill noted:<\/p>\n

\u2018This was a narrative that we saw unfolding almost from the beginning.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He added<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u2018The New York Times and other news organisations began to then create their own renditions of what they, I guess, imagined, Hamas had underneath Al-Shifa hospital, promoting the narrative that something very nefarious is taking place. That was the moment. And you can trace it, that the floodgates were opened for the Israelis, that they perceived that they now had a green light to wage war against Palestinian hospitals and medical facilities in Gaza.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is also no mention in Bowen\u2019s piece of the shocking testimony of surgeons that they have treated Palestinian children with headshot sniper wounds<\/a>; or, worse, that children have been killed by Israeli snipers who targeted them deliberately.<\/p>\n

Jewish American doctor Mark Perlmutter, an orthopedic surgeon and vice president of the International College of Surgeons, who volunteered in Gaza from the end of April until mid-May, told<\/a> CBS News:<\/p>\n

\u2018I have two children that I have photographs of that were shot so perfectly in the chest, I couldn\u2019t put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately, and directly on the side of the head, in the same child. No toddler gets shot twice by mistake by the \u201cworld\u2019s best sniper.\u201d And they\u2019re dead-center shots.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He continued<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u2018All of the disasters I\u2019ve seen, combined \u2013 40 mission trips, 30 years, Ground Zero, earthquakes, all of that combined \u2013 doesn\u2019t equal the level of carnage that I saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dr Perlmutter noted that the civilian casualties he saw were \u2018almost exclusively children\u2019:<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve never seen that before. I\u2019ve seen more incinerated children than I\u2019ve ever seen in my entire life, combined. I\u2019ve seen more shredded children in just the first week \u2026 missing body parts, being crushed by buildings, the greatest majority, or bomb explosions, the next greatest majority.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another grievous omission in Bowen\u2019s article is the eyewitness evidence that Israeli troops carried out executions<\/a> of Palestinians, including doctors<\/a> and healthcare workers. If these had been crimes committed by Russian troops in Ukraine, it would have been headline news, night after night.<\/p>\n

BBC\u2019s spurious and misleading notion of \u2018impartiality\u2019 yields \u2018both-sidesisms\u2019 in Bowen\u2019s account:<\/p>\n

\u2018Both sides deny accusations they have broken the laws of war. Hamas claims it ordered its men not to kill Israeli civilians. Israel says it warns Palestinian civilians to get out of harm\u2019s way but Hamas uses them as human shields.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bowen is silent about Israelis using Palestinians as human shields<\/a> in Gaza, including children<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What about the US role in funding Israel, arming it to the hilt, providing intelligence and defending the apartheid state robustly through its usual \u2018diplomacy\u2019 at the UN? This was given a token passing mention in Bowen\u2019s article. But he omitted that the US has just approved a massive $8.7 billion<\/a> military \u2018aid\u2019 package to Israel.<\/p>\n

Bowen\u2019s \u2018balanced\u2019 piece contains nothing about the intentions of Netanyahu and other Israeli politicians for a \u2018Greater Israel\u2019<\/a> which would require the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the Jordan to the sea, other than one fleeting comment:<\/p>\n

\u2018Ghosts of the past tormented Palestinians as well. Raja Shehadeh, the celebrated Palestinian writer and human rights campaigner believes that Israel wanted to make another Nakba \u2013 another catastrophe.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Crucially, there is no explanation from Bowen that Netanyahu and his Israeli ministers are simply not interested in a peaceful, negotiated settlement between Israel and Palestine. They would rather that Palestine is eradicated from the map of the Middle East<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moreover, as long as the genocide continues, as long as there is war, now expanded to Israel\u2019s invasion of Lebanon, then Netanyahu can likely cling on to power. This has the added benefit of shielding him from the corruption charges that may well land him in prison, once he leaves office.<\/p>\n

As Jonathan Cook observed<\/a> recently:<\/p>\n

\u2018Netanyahu cannot afford to ease up on his war-mongering, because any moves towards a ceasefire would put his coalition in danger of collapse, potentially oust him from power, and accelerate his corruption trial and the likelihood of his being jailed.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a rational perspective that Bowen, along with the rest of BBC News, has no interest in pursuing.<\/p>\n

Terrified Of The Word \u2018Genocide\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another major omission in Bowen\u2019s piece is any analysis, or even mention, of the role played by major news media in its reporting of Gaza. Greg Philo and co-author Mike Berry analysed<\/a> the first four weeks of BBC One daytime coverage of Gaza following the 7 October Hamas attack. They sought to identify which terms were used by journalists themselves (not in direct or reported statements) to describe Israeli and Palestinian deaths:<\/p>\n

\u2018We found that \u201cmurder\u201d, \u201cmurderous\u201d, \u201cmass murder\u201d, \u201cbrutal murder\u201d and \u201cmerciless murder\u201d were used a total of 52 times by journalists to refer to Israelis\u2019 deaths but never in relation to Palestinian deaths. The same pattern could be seen in relation to \u201cmassacre\u201d, \u201cbrutal massacre\u201d and \u201chorrific massacre\u201d (35 times for Israeli deaths, not once for Palestinian deaths); \u201catrocity\u201d, \u201chorrific atrocity\u201d and \u201cappalling atrocity\u201d (22 times for Israeli deaths, once for Palestinian deaths); and \u201cslaughter\u201d (five times for Israeli deaths, not once for Palestinian deaths).\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They added:<\/p>\n

\u2018But the issue goes beyond these differences. The Palestinian perspective is effectively absent from the coverage, in how they understand the reasons for the conflict and the nature of the occupation under which they are living.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A new investigation<\/a> by Al Jazeera\u2019s Listening Post team reveals testimony from inside Western media organisations reporting on Gaza. An anonymous BBC journalist, Sara (not her real name), told<\/a> Al Jazeera that:<\/p>\n

\u2018People [at the BBC] were terrified of using the word \u201cgenocide\u201d in coverage. They still are. You will very rarely see it in any BBC coverage. And if an interviewee says the word \u201cgenocide\u201d, the presenter will almost always panic.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Imagine if an Official Enemy of the West \u2013 say, Iran or Russia \u2013 was inflicting comparable carnage, the BBC would be terrified of challenging<\/em> the use of the word, \u2018genocide\u2019.<\/p>\n

Sara observed<\/a> that:<\/p>\n

\u2018Gaza has massively exposed the hypocrisies at the heart of the BBC.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She continued:<\/p>\n

\u2018Many of our own presenters when faced with an interviewee who was Palestinian or who had lost family in Gaza, there was just such a lack of compassion.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An infamous video clip<\/a>, mentioned in a previous media alert<\/a>, was then shown of BBC Newsnight\u2019s Kirsty Wark interviewing Husam Zomlot, the head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK. He had lost several members of his family during the early days of Israel\u2019s bombing campaign. Zomlot told Wark of his emotional pain, and he listed his relatives who had been killed, describing them as \u2018sitting ducks for the Israeli war machine\u2019.<\/p>\n

Wark replied with appalling lack of empathy:<\/p>\n

\u2018I am sorry for your own personal loss. I mean, can I just be clear though, you cannot condone the killing of civilians in Israel, can you? Nor the killing of families?\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sara noted:<\/p>\n

\u2018As a result, a number of producers were really reticent about putting a vulnerable Palestinian guest in front of a BBC presenter.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The BBC journalist observed that double standards could be seen in the selection of interviewees, and how they were treated. After 7 October, the BBC set up an internal group chat in which producers could vet potential interviewees based on their online footprint.<\/p>\n

Sara told Al Jazeera that defenders of Palestinian rights were discriminated against during this vetting process:<\/p>\n

\u2018It was overwhelmingly guests on the Palestinian side of things who were being looked into. Palestinians being flagged up for using the word \u201cZionist\u201d, which isn\u2019t something to flag necessarily. Even the occasional NGO was thrown in, for example Human Rights Watch.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She continued:<\/p>\n

\u2018These are organisations that we\u2019ve really relied on in terms of covering Ukraine and various other conflicts. And now and again they would check an Israeli guest. But there was no balance in what was going on. Israeli spokespeople who we did have on were given a lot of free rein to say whatever they wanted with very little pushback. Whereas any Palestinian guest was asked to condemn Hamas, almost as though condemning Hamas was the sort of price to pay before they could be humanised in our coverage.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ghassan Abu Sitta, a British-Palestinian reconstructive surgeon who worked in Gaza hospitals and who is the current Rector of the University of Glasgow, told<\/a> Al Jazeera:<\/p>\n

\u2018One of probably the most distressing aspects about that period when I was working at Shifa Hospital is that we were getting hundreds and hundreds of wounded. The bombing around Shifa was continuous. And so, you\u2019d get phone calls and all the Western journalists wanted to ask about was, \u201cwhen you walk around, do you see any tunnels?\u201d\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Israel had relentlessly claimed that \u2018Hamas tunnels\u2019 under hospitals and other civilian buildings were part of an underground \u2018command and control\u2019 network used to launch attacks on Israel. This became a dominant theme diverting attention from Israel\u2019s war crimes, including on the BBC. Abu Sitta added:<\/p>\n

\u2018And if you say that I\u2019ve never seen any of these tunnels, then you are dismissed immediately.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Al Jazeera noted that internal BBC dissent (see our alerts here<\/a> and here<\/a>) had led to some BBC journalists writing letters to senior BBC management, including director-general Tim Davie, warning that BBC coverage risked \u2018aiding and abetting genocide\u2019. This action was reportedly \u2018considered inflammatory by recipients\u2019, according to an article<\/a> published by Hollywood-based \u2018Deadline\u2019, billed as \u2018the definitive choice for industry insiders\u2019.<\/p>\n

When shared on internal BBC distribution lists, Jewish employees were said to have taken \u2018extreme offense\u2019 to the language used:<\/p>\n

\u2018\u201cIt was extraordinarily egregious,\u201d says a non-Jewish insider who read the letter. Another recalls senior management being \u201cquite shaken\u201d by the accusations: \u201cThey were properly outraged that [people thought it was] acceptable to make these kinds of incendiary and unpleasant remarks about colleagues and send them around the BBC.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The carefully considered content<\/a> of the BBC dissident letters, comprising solid evidence and rational analysis, and the conclusion that BBC News coverage \u2018aligned with Israel\u2019s propaganda strategy\u2019, was missing from the \u2018Deadline\u2019 piece.<\/p>\n

Sara summed up her experience inside the BBC:<\/p>\n

\u2018Multiple journalists in emails, in meetings, have raised concerns about a lot of the things I\u2019ve said in this interview \u2013 the disparity in the language used, the inconsistency in approach compared to other story areas like Russia and Ukraine, the lack of humanisation when it comes to Palestinians, the lack of context about this conflict before the 7th of October. And it hasn\u2019t really made a difference because there\u2019s just a sort of unwillingness among the executive to accept evidence<\/strong><\/em> [our emphasis]. For me personally, it meant I could no longer see my future at the BBC.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An Organ Of The British State<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why does the BBC behave this way? Earlier this year, the Jacobin<\/em> website published a piece<\/a> by an anonymous BBC journalist who wrote:<\/p>\n

\u2018The BBC is, in many respects, an organ of the British state. As such, its journalism is enduringly informed by an intra-institutional connection to ideas of Western hegemony. This is a paradigm maintained through being deeply encoded in the corporation\u2019s organizational structure.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The BBC journalist added:<\/p>\n

\u2018For staff to acquire editorial power, they must repeatedly demonstrate their adherence to a mode of journalism that is cautious and doesn\u2019t damage political relationships while \u2014 crucially \u2014 upholding the veneer of impartiality. These are prerequisites for advancement at the BBC. Only those who have consistently proven they will uphold the supremacy of these principles will be elevated to positions of control.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This, of course, was put more succinctly<\/a> to a young Andrew Marr when he failed to run rings around Noam Chomsky in a classic interview<\/a> on BBC2 in 1996:<\/p>\n

Marr: \u2018How can you know that I\u2019m self-censoring?\u2019<\/p>\n

Chomsky: \u2018I\u2019m not saying you\u2019re self-censoring. I\u2019m sure you believe everything you\u2019re saying. But what I\u2019m saying is that if you believe something different, you wouldn\u2019t be sitting where you\u2019re sitting.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let us conclude with the words<\/a> of surgeon Ghassan Abu Sitta:<\/p>\n

\u2018In the future, when we have a museum for this genocide, we will have a special place where we put the pictures of the journalists who allowed it to happen. There will be a wing for the CNN and the BBC and the [New York] Times journalists who were the enablers of the genocide. The Palestinian people will remember them.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
