I've restrained myself so far, but bloody hell. Heads roll at the BBC over trumped up accusations of bias (pun intended). Yet the organisation's most glaring and unconscionable bias - against Palestinians suffering a genocide at the hands of Likud and the IDF - hasn't been mentioned. Not once.

Instead the accusation is a BBC bias against *Israel*. When did I go through the looking glass, and how do I get back to a world where I'm not subject to systematic political gaslighting?

Some references;

Centre for Media Monitoring;

"Analysis of 35,000+ pieces of BBC content shows Israeli deaths given 33 times more coverage, per fatality, and significantly more emotive language."

Greg Philo and Mike Berry, Cardiff University;

"Most studies carried out prior to the current fighting in Gaza – including research commissioned by the BBC itself – have repeatedly found that it is the Israeli perspective that is favoured."
