Western news organizations are accused of being complicit in the genocide and acting criminally by reporting that Israeli violence is different from Hamas because it is remote. The speaker criticizes these organizations for not informing the public about the situation and states that CNN only recently reported that the Gaza Strip is uninhabitable, 80 days after the conflict began. The speaker blames the news organizations for the deaths of over 100 journalists and holds them responsible for their actions.

Al Jazeera's investigation found that Israel was aware of Hamas's plans before October 7th, even viewing their training videos, but dismissed them as training exercises. On the day of the attack, alerts were not raised, leaving defenders vulnerable. Hamas was surprised by the success of their operation and the music festival. While Hamas committed crimes, the focus shifted to alleged crimes that didn't occur, particularly regarding babies. Claims of 40 beheaded babies were false; only two babies died on October 7th. Allegations of widespread and systematic rape lack evidence. Stories of atrocities, amplified by organizations like Zaka and repeated by Israeli officials, were used to justify the subsequent bombardment of Gaza. The New York Times published a story about a woman who was allegedly raped and murdered, but her sister refuted the claim. The report was written by a journalist with ties to Israeli intelligence. There is no evidence of widespread and systematic rape. The media ignores the report's findings. Questioning Zionism is forbidden, and Israel is an apartheid state. Western media's dysfunction is that it does not say that, and you're actually not allowed to say that. While 36 Israeli children were killed on October 7th, over 14,000 Palestinian children have been killed since. The West's complicity in the Gaza assault is causing a rupture between people and the political media class. Alternative voices are needed to probe these events.

The BBC apologizes for incorrectly reporting that Israeli forces targeted medical teams and Arabic speakers in Gaza's main hospital. They acknowledge that this was a misquote from a Reuters report and should have stated that IDF forces included medical teams and Arabic speakers for the operation. The BBC admits that this error did not meet their usual editorial standards. The correct version of events was broadcast shortly after.

A viral chart claims more journalists died in Gaza last year than in World War II, based on a report by the Watson Institute at Brown University. The speaker argues this is dishonest, as the report's data source would fail a high school project. The report claims only 67 journalists died in World War II, using data from the Freedom Forum's journalist memorial, which doesn't claim this is the total number. The speaker notes that pre-war Europe had tens of thousands of Jewish people working in media, but the report only lists two Jewish journalists killed during the Holocaust. Conversely, the report massively overcounts journalists in Gaza, including a construction worker. Many listed "journalists" are confirmed terror operatives, such as Abdullah al Jamal, a Hamas operative who held Israeli hostages. Others include Khaled Riyadh Hamad, a Hamas terrorist, and Mohammad Wushar, who was filmed shooting an RPG. Akhil Hussain Salah is listed as a journalist but is also a field commander for the Al Aqsa Mahdah's brigade. Many Gazan journalists are linked to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, with some trained at Hamas' media training center. The speaker concludes that the report omits the control Hamas exerts over journalists in Gaza and promotes Hamas propaganda.

The BBC is facing internal conflict over its coverage of Israel and Palestine. Journalists are expressing frustration over what they see as systematic pro-Israel bias within the organization. This conclusion comes from a detailed investigation involving testimonies from 13 BBC journalists, extensive research, and the efforts of two data journalists. For a comprehensive understanding, readers are encouraged to visit dropsitenews.com to explore the full findings.

Ashwin Rutanski speaks from the UAE, referencing the Nakba anniversary (1948), ongoing Israeli oppression of Palestinians, and claims that NATO capitals provide money, weapons, and diplomatic protection for these actions, with Washington treating Israeli impunity as a cornerstone of foreign policy. He also notes G7 finance ministers meeting in Paris and asks about the Trump Netanyahu war on Iran, including questions about its justification and motivations. Avi Schleim, Emeritus Professor of International Relations at the University of Oxford, says the Trump Netanyahu war on Iran is “unjustified, senseless, and foolish,” calling it unlawful and stating there was no Security Council resolution mandating war and no imminent threat from Iran to Israel or America. He argues the war was a decision by Trump and Netanyahu, with Netanyahu as the real architect, alleging Netanyahu dragged America into the conflict. Schleim connects the war’s consequences to suffering inflicted not only in Iran but also in Lebanon, alongside continued Gaza genocide and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank. He describes Israel as damaging America, America’s Gulf allies, international economy, and international law by dragging the U.S. into war. Rutanski asks whether it is really about Netanyahu given claims that 93% of Israeli Jews supported bombing Iran. Schleim replies that it is not just Netanyahu, stating Israeli society has moved right for 25 years since the second Intifada, becoming more overtly racist, with growing influence of religious Zionism on foreign policy. He says war is easier to sell than peace because peacemaking requires concessions, while attacking enemies is more popular. Schleim argues Netanyahu persuades the Israeli public that Iran poses an existential threat, which he rejects, citing claims that Iran has not attacked neighbors, has signed the nonproliferation treaty and submitted to international inspection, while Israel has not signed it and refuses international inspection; he also contrasts Iran renouncing nuclear weapons with Israel’s alleged possession of about 200 nuclear warheads. Rutanski asks whether Israel cares about reputational damage. Schleim says Israel cares mainly about American support, describing it as unconditional and therefore without consequences for Israel’s actions, including genocide in Gaza and intensified settler violence in the West Bank. He states that American backing has affected ceasefire interpretation and says Israel has devastated Lebanon—destroying whole villages in southern Lebanon, displacing 1,100,000 Lebanese refugees, and bombing civilian neighborhoods in Beirut, while targeting journalists and damaging hospitals and ambulances. He frames these actions as applying the Gaza “playbook” in southern Lebanon with immunity as long as the U.S. supports Israel. Rutanski cites polls showing disapproval among U.S. voters of Netanyahu and belief by many that Israel is committing genocide. Schleim argues a disconnect exists between Western governments and the public, saying people can see genocide “livestream” and that Gaza has been made uninhabitable. He says Western foreign policy will take time to catch up but trends are toward increased criticism of Israel, including within the U.S. among younger Jewish people. He adds that criticism is spreading to Republicans who he says are turning against Trump over Israel. Rutanski then asks Schleim about Britain’s role. Schleim says he is “absolutely appalled” by British complicity, citing a book by Peter Urban and describing actions including arms sales, intelligence flights over Gaza, and offering British bases in Cyprus and the UK for Israeli Air Force and U.S. supply for the Gaza war effort. He claims Britain has legal duties under the 1948 Genocide Convention to stop arms sales, stop buying Israeli military technology, and suspend the trade agreement, which he says Britain denies due to refusing to accept that Israel is committing genocide. Rutanski asks why European countries are involved. Schleim answers by arguing the claim is questionable and stating the main supporter is America. He says European support since 1948 was influenced by Holocaust guilt and by perceptions of Israel as an island of democracy in the 1950s, later describing Israel as widely viewed now as authoritarian, racist, and apartheid, and arguing Israel has made itself an international pariah through occupation, oppression, constant violence, and never-ending war. Rutanski mentions repression in the UK and asks whether those in power want to preserve support for Israel. Schleim says there is a powerful Israel lobby in Britain across both Conservative and Labour parties, and adds Germany’s repression is linked to Holocaust guilt. He discusses Palestine Action being designated as a terrorist organization, saying supporting it can lead to prison sentences of up to 14 years, while also describing a judicial review that found the prescription unlawful, followed by a government appeal. He then describes being asked to postpone a guest lecture at Liverpool Hope University, citing complaints from the local Jewish community about his presence on campus, which he says limited his academic freedom. He also claims mainstream media and the BBC fail to report Palestinian narratives, alleges BBC presenters are instructed to stop interviewees when genocide is mentioned, says he has not been interviewed on the BBC for two and a half years, and references his book “Genocide in Gaza,” which he says includes quotations from Israeli leaders. The show ends with condolences mentioned by Rutanski for those bereaved or affected by “NATO nation wars of aggression,” including Gaza and the mass killing in the Donbas, and announces a new season starting June 6.

This is absolutely devastating. More than a 100 BBC employees have written a letter to the director general, Tim Davy, complaining that the corporation has become a mouthpiece for Israel. It was also signed by 300 other journalists, media professionals. One of them was yours truly. The BBC employees, as you would expect, all anonymous because otherwise, they would face grave consequences in terms of their careers. Now the letter says, we're writing to express our concerns over opaque editorial decisions and censorship at the BBC on the reporting of Israel Palestine. We believe the refusal to broadcast the documentary Gaza Medics Under Fire is just one in a long line of agenda driven decisions. It demonstrates once again that the BBC is not reporting about fear or favor when it comes to Israel.

BBC journalists highlighted a systemic issue during a heated editorial meeting in November 2023. CEO Debra Ternes stated that the situation began on October 7, which sparked backlash from staff, including former World Service head Lillian Landur, who pointed to decades of Israeli occupation as the root cause. Leaked WhatsApp conversations among BBC correspondents revealed frustrations over the network's coverage, particularly after an Amnesty report accused Israel of genocide. One correspondent criticized the BBC's framing, noting that the narrative often reflects an "Israel says" perspective, which has led to concerns among senior journalists about the impartiality of their reporting.

Evidence shows a significant disparity in media coverage of Israeli versus Palestinian deaths. Data journalists Dana Najjar and Jan Litava found that mentions of Palestinian deaths spiked in early April, primarily due to an Israeli drone strike on a convoy of the NGO World Central Kitchen, which killed six Western aid workers and one Palestinian driver, Safedidin Abu Taha. The attack garnered extensive Western media attention, but Abu Taha was often referred to only in relation to the Western victims, leading to a surge in mentions of Palestinian deaths without proper recognition of his identity. This incident highlights the chilling reasons behind the unequal coverage.

"But October 7 in the Hamas raid in Southern Israel changed minds on this app. Explain how." "over 60% of the content that is pro Hamas, pro Palestine content, it's actually generated in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and then it is actually amplified in TikTok users' feeds in The United States." "the majority of the anti Israel content, it's actually generated and created overseas, and then the algorithm is tailored to push that content here in America." "it's not actually generated here in The United States. It's not a reflection of the sentiment here in The United States." "But think about the fact that in Israel, they have TikTok, and in Israel, they have manipulated the algorithm to show 90% of the sentiment is for pro Hamas in Israel." "Do you really think that Israelis after October 7 feel that that is the case?"

The speaker argues there was no famine in Gaza and calls claims to the contrary “a lie,” saying people have been the victims of “a comprehensive and amazingly successful psyop.” They cite analysis of average calorie intake during the war, stating it was “something like…three thousand calories per person a day,” and they claim this level of intake does not constitute a situation where people would be “starving to death,” while adding that some people may have been starving. They distinguish between being hungry and “starvation,” saying starvation is “a specific” condition defined by people dying because they are malnourished due to extremely low food availability. They reference visual indicators they claim did not occur in Gaza, including children with “bloated stomachs” and people “wasting away due to caloric insufficiency” and “nut-nutritional insufficiency.” They further characterize assertions of starvation and genocide as “blood libel,” stating “genocide didn’t happen in Gaza.” They argue that words such as “genocide” “have a meaning,” and they describe themselves as surrounded by “liars and hysterics and ideologues,” including people “willingly bamboozled by genuinely sinister movements and organizations.” Finally, they claim the war was “largely fought on social media,” stating “Israel lost it, absolutely lost it on social media,” and they mention the “IRGC” and the “Muslim Brotherhood” as part of the conflict’s social-media dimension.

The discussion centers on Physicians for Human Rights Israel’s role and media reception amid coverage of the Gaza conflict. PHRI Israel issued reports on October 7, including one that collected evidence of sexual and gender-based violence, with Isaac Chattner among its authors. The speakers say the first report examined the need to investigate what happened on October 7, while noting that Israeli government and institutions have hindered proper investigations; the organization seeks the truth and accountability for perpetrators. A separate report documented sexual and gender-based violence more broadly and gained international media traction, though the second report was harder for Western publics to watch. They discuss being used to lay foundations of public opinion to justify the genocide, and critique manipulation that strengthens orientalist tropes. They warn that sexual violence is used to justify crimes, and oppose manipulation.

Earlier on BBC News, we reported on pro Palestinian demonstrations in Britain where people expressed support for Hamas. We acknowledge that our description of these demonstrations as backing for Hamas was poorly phrased and misleading. Now, let's move on to the weather.

The speaker asserts that YouTube quietly deleted more than 700 videos documenting Israeli human rights violations, war crimes, and related abuses as part of an effort by the U.S. government to bury evidence of Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank. According to The Intercept, YouTube surreptitiously deleted these videos in early October by wiping the accounts that posted them from the site along with their channel archives. The affected accounts belonged to three prominent Palestinian human rights groups: Al Haq, Al Mezan, the Center for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights. These three YouTube channels hosted hours of footage documenting and highlighting alleged Israeli government violations of international law in Gaza and the West Bank. The speaker emphasizes the importance of preserving this record to counter Hasbara and ensure documentation of war crimes for historical record, stating that there is a real and successful effort to wipe the Internet of these videos. The deleted content ranges from investigations, such as an analysis of the Israeli killing of American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, to testimonies of Palestinians tortured by Israeli forces, and documentaries like The Beach about children playing on a beach who were killed by an Israeli strike. The Intercept notes that the deletion affected the groups’ official channels, and not their alternate channels; videos reposted on other channels remain viewable. The speaker adds that while the official channels were deleted, other channels still host copies.

Speaker alleges the decision not to broadcast the investigation was made by BBC management despite content being signed off under BBC guidelines, and that it "appears to be a political decision," showing the BBC is "crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government." They call the move "a scandal." They say the BBC "only broadcast one of the documentary which actually looked properly at the war crimes being committed against the Palestinian people in Gaza," then "pulled that documentary because the child narrator was the son of a deputy agricultural minister" whose words were scripted, claiming they capitulated to the pro-Israel lobby. They contrast with another documentary which passes all checks Channel 4 took on, while the BBC refused to show a program documenting "the objective systematic attacks on the health care system, the destruction of the health care system in Gaza."

Now there's a huge amount in the piece including about allegations made by staff about the, as I mentioned before, the BBC's online Middle East editor Raffy Berg. And the BBC came back and said, the allegations you've made fundamentally misdescribe this person's role and misunderstand the way the BBC works. More broadly, we reject any suggestion of a lenient stance towards either side in this conflict. The Israel Gaza conflict is a challenging and polarizing subject to cover, but when asked to choose the one provider they would turn to for impartial reporting on this story, Three times as many pick the BBC as choose our closest competitor. The BBC remains the world's most trusted international news source. Well, you have to read the piece to see what the allegations are and why the BBC staff reject them.

Speaker 0 argues that October 7 was “the ultimate false flag designed for two purposes, to ethnically cleanse and destroy all Palestinians,” followed by a plan “to rebuild Gaza in order to make billions of dollars off of beachfront property and trillions of dollars off of all of the natural gas resources that sit off the coast.” They claim this has “been the plan all along” and assert it was “planned before October 7.” Speaker 0 urges viewers to “Watch Jared Kushner's face when Steve Witkoff admits this on sixty minutes that this was all a plan and it predated October 7.” They say, “Watch,” and continue, “There are plans already,” and repeat “We have plans already. We have a master plan already.” They allege, “Jared's been pushing this and we're working together,” and state, “I love Jared's face. Just admitted. You just kinda let the cat out of the bag that we've been working on this for two years before October 7. We needed October 7, of course, to carry this out. It's a great false flag for us to be able to put my master plan in place.” They add, “And you can't make this up. We're all right. The whole world is a stage at this point.” They claim, “Kushner was like, damn you, you just you just admitted it.” Speaker 0 then shifts to other reporting: “More on that part of the story in a minute. But first, three more journalists killed by Israel last night.” They state the world is notably silent, noting that among the three journalists killed by Israel was “a CBS freelance reporter.” They claim this is significant because it involves “CBS News that is now run by Israel first and wild Zionist, Bari Weiss.” They allege, “But if you go to CBS's news website that she runs, she's in charge of CBS News.” They claim there is “zero mention of it” on CBS News’s site, while noting “plenty of stories about, oh, the house voting this, Trump's, you know, whatever, the body of a swimmer found somewhere, and you can order a new indoor pizza oven if you want.” They conclude, “No mention of one of their own journalists being targeted and killed by Israel, of course.”

CNN and The Associated Press were aware of the upcoming massacre on October 7th but chose not to inform anyone so they could be the exclusive reporters. They traded Israeli lives for close-up footage. Hamas trusted them so much that their leaders even kissed them. CNN and AP knew that Hamas would massacre people, rape women, and murder civilians, but they didn't disclose this information. They also covered for Hamas by publishing an article that portrayed the attack as a chaotic rampage instead of acknowledging Hamas' intent. These reporters should be prosecuted, or Israel should take appropriate action against them.

A Palestinian woman confronts a BBC reporter about the biased coverage of events in Israel and Gaza. She criticizes the mainstream media for ignoring the Palestinian deaths caused by the occupation. The woman shares her personal experience of having family members trapped in Gaza and highlights the humanitarian crisis there. She accuses Western media of dehumanizing Palestinians and giving preferential treatment to Israelis. The video also mentions the spread of unverified information by mainstream media outlets, which fuels hatred and supports Israel. The woman calls for people to be critical of the language used in news reporting and to recognize the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

The piece discusses allegations against the BBC's online Middle East editor, Raffy Burg. The BBC asserts that these allegations misrepresent his role and the organization's approach to reporting. They deny any bias in covering the Israel-Gaza conflict, emphasizing that they are the most trusted source for impartial news, with a significant preference over competitors. The investigation involved interviews with 13 current BBC staff, who supported the claims made. Legal reviews were conducted to ensure transparency, contributing to the lengthy process. The speaker expresses a desire to pursue more investigations in the future, though acknowledges the challenges of time and resources.

CTV News, Canada's largest media company, has been accused of banning the word "Palestine" and censoring pro-Palestinian messages. Journalists revealed that employees were instructed not to use the word "Palestine" in news coverage or on social media. They were also told not to cover protests calling for a ceasefire or interview anyone advocating for one. CTV News only allowed casualty numbers specific to Israelis, while summarizing Palestinian casualties in vague terms. Palestinian guests were allegedly harassed and disparaged, with only those who cried and refrained from criticizing Israel or calling for a ceasefire being invited back. CTV News quickly removed the only segment that mentioned Palestine. This bias has sparked outrage and accusations of enabling genocide.

The BBC is in civil war over its coverage of Israel and Palestine with journalists there at breaking point because of their outrage at what they regard as systematic pro Israel propaganda at the corporation. That's a finding of my new detailed investigation into the BBC for the brilliant drop site news. It's based on the testimony of 13 BBC journalists on a huge amount of research and the crucial work of two data journalists who I worked with. Do go read the piece at dropsitenews.com. It's a long piece because there's a lot to expose.

Several Gaza-based freelancers from major news organizations, including CNN, The New York Times, Reuters, and the Associated Press, were found to be embedded with Hamas during the Hamas infiltration and killing of 1,400 Jews. A Reuters journalist captured a disturbing image of an Israeli soldier being brutalized by a lynch mob. CNN severed ties with one of the freelancers mentioned in the report. The Associated Press claims they had no prior knowledge of the attacks. The situation is compared to the Taliban tipping off a news network before 9/11 or a school shooting, with the media showing up to document it instead of preventing it. The media's biased coverage of Israel is also criticized. The story is still developing.
