They're going to have to report themselves for antisemitism. Better late than never, I suppose.

And the BBC reporting the Israeli bullshit like it might be credible.

That's not how I read it. For example - "A spokeswoman for the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the report was "invalid" as it "justifies and shifts the responsibility to a personal error in the field command when the truth is quite different"."

If a news report is pissing off both sides then chances are that it is closer to the truth than both sides would like. Just my opinion.

BBC balance. Report the Israeli side first, in depth, and as if it's a reasonable explanation of rational action in the heat of war. Then mention the Red Crescent side briefly so they can claim balance.

I've noticed that impartiality is most often aligned with "my point of view".

The international press are banned from Gaza. So very difficult to report on anything with authority.

That's ok then. Just repeat the Israeli press releases as if the official Israeli line hasn't been found to be a lie over and over again.
Who's banning the international press from Gaza? Why?

Given the number of journalists who've been killed there by the IDF, it would be a very foolhardy for any of them to try to go in.

and how do you call all those ''attacks'' that where in fact from Syria? or do you only care about balance if it benefits the Hamas? Like it's political wing feeds articles to BBC and other left wing media. (Often via Novib and other fake NGo's)
