The BBC scandal and Zionist lobbying domination

This represents the tip of the iceberg regarding Western media’s falsehoods about freedom and independence, along with the influence of Zionist lobbyists over it. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as the “curse of Gaza”.

The resignation of senior officials at the BBC, including its Director-General Tim Davie and his assistant, Head of News Deborah Turness, following the scandal of a documentary aired by the renowned “Panorama” programme, which is known for its accuracy and professionalism, and the distortion of parts of a speech by Donald Trump, has become a major “scandal” not only for the British media but for the majority of the biased Western media, which falsely claims neutrality and freedom.

Many documentaries and news broadcasts are completely biased towards the occupying state, covering up its genocide in the Gaza Strip for two years, and they have never been revealed or discussed, in accordance with government policy, possibly on direct orders from its president and officials. However, they will not be exposed because the victims are Arabs and Muslims, as opposed to Donald Trump, the American president who supports and is involved in these massacres, who adopted and defended the Israeli narrative, never acknowledged the existence of genocide, and refused to recognise the sector’s starvation war despite damning United Nations reports. If falsification reaches Trump, the leader of the free world, Britain’s most important friend, and the leader of NATO, whose speech is twisted by the world’s largest television and radio authority, what will it mean for the “enemies” or the people and countries of the Third World?

In the Gaza conflict, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) supported the occupying state’s crimes, suppressed the majority of the Arab and Palestinian narrative, and terminated numerous Arab and Muslim journalists based on prejudice towards the victim. They provided the Israeli side with a massive platform to spread misinformation about the Israeli massacre, discarding all professional, independent, and neutral standards.

We must remember the perspective of the British Prime Minister, who saw the massacre in the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the deaths of over 70,000 people, over half of whom were children, as a justifiable war and part of the right to self-defence.

The Israeli lobby has prevented many Arab voices, analysts, and commentators from appearing on British media screens, including the author of this article, who has been a regular guest on these screens and microphones for over 40 years, whether on state-owned or private channels, in English or Arabic. One of the Israeli commentators on one of the Arabic-language television programmes boldly asked, live on air, that Abdel Bari Atwan be forbidden from appearing and ejected from the station, just as he had been expelled from other English-speaking stations. His desire was met instantly, and we have a recorded copy of everything we said.

The Zionist lobbies, with their control over Western media and censorship of Arab and Islamic narratives, as well as their presence on most social media platforms, have undermined the most crucial pillars of what are known as Western principles, most notably freedom of expression and ideas. We’ve seen professors and students ejected, and financial help refused to prominent Western universities in the UK, the US, France, and Germany. Perhaps what happened at Harvard and Columbia universities in the United States is one of the most visible examples that backs up our claims.

Criticising Western media for bias, distortion, and repression of legitimate dissenting views, particularly the BBC, does not imply that Arab and Islamic media are free and independent. The distinction is that they are known for censoring dissenting views, detaining and even assassinating some writers and journalists, and prohibiting independent or semi-independent media outlets. This truth cannot be refuted.

President Trump of the United States, who celebrates his victory over the BBC and threatens to sue it for exposing its distortion of his speech, has not expressed a single word of sympathy for more than 250 Palestinian journalists from Gaza, the West Bank, and southern Lebanon who were assassinated by Israeli army bullets to prevent the truth about the chapters of the genocide and starvation war from becoming public. Among them is the martyr Shireen Abu Akleh, who is an American citizen, while his soldiers invade combat zones and his government employs blockades and sanctions to urge the release of a white American journalist.

When the Zionist lobby in Britain succeeds in expelling Gary Lineker, one of the most famous football players in Britain, and possibly in Europe, from hosting his weekly programme “Match of the Day” on the BBC, which he has presented for more than 26 years, on the charge of sympathising with the victims of the genocide war against the children of Gaza, this summarises the freedom of expression, professionalism, and independence at this station and most other Western states.

This BBC incident, which occurred at the appropriate time, is only the tip of the iceberg of lies and deception, standing in the butcher’s trench rather than the victim’s, and may also be the beginning of mending these deadly blunders, or so we hope.
