Shocking report details the BBC’s overwhelming pro-Israel bias

It is probably safe to assume that most people do not know, as British journalist Owen Jones reports, “the BBC website is the most-visited news site on the internet. In May alone, it had 1.1 billion visits.”

The BBC therefore has massive global influence on what people believe about what is happening in the world. Many other news services in turn quote the BBC as an allegedly reliable, primary source of information. However, according to Jones and some angry BBC staff, it is more of a massive propaganda enterprise – especially on the issue of Israel and the Palestinians.

Worse still, is that the BBC, and very likely many other hugely influential legacy news companies, are being coopted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to serve what he has said is Israel’s ambition is to “police the planet” through the development of Artificial Intelligence systems.

Some of the Israeli plans for world information domination through AI are truly alarming and science fiction sounding in scope. This should be a cause for deep concern by the world’s public...

An investigation into coverage of Israel’s wars by the BBC has found significant evidence of systemic bias in favor of the Zionist state.

In a report published this week by DropSite News, Guardian journalist Owen Jones describes the “BBC Civil War over Gaza,” documenting the accounts of “13 current and former BBC journalists,” to conclude that “BBC coverage has been more credulous about Israeli claims than… the Israeli media, while devaluing Palestinian life, ignoring atrocities, and creating a false equivalence in an entirely unbalanced conflict.”

“The imbalance is structural, and has been enforced by the top brass for many years,” Jones says, citing evidence from as early as 2009 to illustrate the whistleblowers’ claims of “a wider BBC culture of “systematic Israeli propaganda.”

Jones’ investigation also cites a 150 page report by the U.K.’s Centre for Media Monitoring. Published in March 2024, it cited cases of coverage favoring Israeli perspectives to show the BBC’s position “…has often been to push the Israeli line whilst casting doubt on Pro-Palestinian voices.”
