Humanising stories: BBC ran nearly the same number of victim profiles for Palestinians (279) & Israelis (201) — despite 34 times more Palestinian deaths. 📣 Emotive language like “slaughter” & “massacre” was used 4x more often for Israelis. #MediaBias #BBCGazaCoverage BBC News (UK)

🎙️ Whose voices count? The BBC interviewed: 🔹 2,350 Israelis 🔹 1,085 Palestinians #BBCBias BBC News (UK)




🔒 Unequal victims: The BBC called Israeli captives "hostages" - but Palestinian detainees, incl. children held without charge, were "prisoners." During a major hostage exchange (90 Palestinians, 3 Israelis), 70% of articles focused on the 3 Israelis. #DoubleStandards BBC News (UK)


📑 The Centre for Media Monitoring The Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) calls for an independent public review of the BBC’s Gaza reporting. This report is evidence-based, rigorous & damning. The BBC must reform. DOWNLOAD FULL REPORT HERE 📄 cfmm.org.uk/wp-content/upl… Share widely #BBCBias #Palestine #Gaza
