The BBC's reporting on Gaza – or rather lack of it – is beyond parody.
Tonight's News at 10 featured reporter Wyre Davies finding yet another excuse for the BBC to return at length to the fall-out for Israelis from the three-month-old events of October 7, followed by him gravely intoning: 'The world's attention is still very much focused on the ongoing war, just over in Gaza.'
Well, the BBC's attention certainly hasn't been focused on the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. Not a word tonight about Israel's continuing bombing of civilians, or the famine and disease it is inducing through its 'complete siege'. Or Israel's referral to the International Court of Justice, charged with carrying out a genocide.
Instead we segued from an interview with the families of the hostages and a report on the 'We will dance again' campaign by the Nova festival organisers to Lyse Doucet analysing Israel's options for running Gaza on the 'day after'.
Once again, the BBC made the Palestinians of Gaza – and the genocide they are enduring – invisible.
...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
