On the menu today: The fast-moving news cycle is a clumsy administration’s
best friend. This weekend, the Biden administration got what it wanted when it
announced the construction of a U.S.-taxpayer-funded pier in the Gaza Strip —
happy headlines about the U.S. military starting to deliver aid to the
Palestinians, many of whom really are desperate. And in what probably counts
as a small miracle, Hamas hasn’t attempted to bomb or otherwise attack the
pier yet. But there’s a little catch, in that the food aid is getting stolen before it
can reach the World Food Program warehouse . . . just eight miles away. Once
the food aid leaves the pier, the United Nations, international partners, and the
“humanitarian community” oversee getting the aid to those who need it most.
And they’re getting robbed, hijacked, and mugged.

Funnily enough, starving people start getting quite violent when it comes to food.

Heck, I saw a minor scuffle break out at Co op over a loaf of Warburtons when "the beast from the east" snowstorm was disrupting bread trucks.

And a full on riot for Covid toilet roll.

764 civilian deaths on Oct 7th and 9/11 was about 3000 so unless you meant 1/4 rather than 4x, this isn't really close to accurate.

The final death toll from the attack is now thought to be 695 Israeli civilians, including 36 children, as well as 373 security forces and 71 foreigners, giving a total of 1,139.

BBC’s Gaza coverage has sunk to new lows

Impartiality breaches have occurred so often at its Arabic channel that they almost look deliberate


The BBC’s royal charter sets out five “public purposes”, the very first of which is a commitment to impartiality. Yet the Israel-Hamas war has seen the BBC fail to deliver on this crucial test on more occasions than can be explained away as “errors” or bad luck.

A source of repeated issues over impartiality is BBC Arabic. Since the October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel, BBC Arabic has been forced to make 80 corrections to its reporting. Something is going badly wrong. Mistakes don’t happen 80 times.
The failures of impartiality have included BBC reporters describing Hamas terrorists as “the resistance”, as well as labelling attacks which targeted and killed civilians as “resistance operations”. It’s the language you would hear from a Hamas spokesman.

The corporation was forced to remove an episode of the BBC Arabic programme Trending, which questioned whether the Kfar Aza kibbutz massacre on October 7 actually happened. This plays into an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that seeks to undermine the terrible truth of what happened that day. How was a video of that nature produced and distributed by the BBC in the first place? How is it possible that editorial standards at BBC Arabic had fallen so low that this was seen as legitimate reporting?

There is plenty more. Last month a BBC Arabic presenter asked an Egyptian guest to apologise for expressing sympathy for Israel. One BBC Arabic journalist interviewed a Palestinian woman about her life amid the conflict but decided it was not relevant to ask her directly about the time she stabbed an Israeli neighbour in front of her children.

There is no sign that this blatant lack of impartiality at BBC Arabic will be dealt with any time soon by senior management. Yet this is not even the worst of it. The BBC continues to employ people who actually celebrated the October 7 terrorist attacks.

Sally Nabil, a BBC Arabic correspondent, “liked” a number of tweets which appeared to legitimise the targeting of Jewish civilians, including tweets which called the October 7 atrocities “a morning of hope”. She also “liked” a comment on a video which showed footage of jeeps loaded with Jewish bodies and kidnapped civilians. Ms Nabil is still employed by the BBC.

Another BBC Arabic journalist, Sanaa Khouri, reposted and liked tweets appearing to support the massacres, including one about celebratory sweets being distributed in Lebanon in its aftermath. The Beirut-based correspondent also tweeted in the wake of the attacks: “Israel’s prestige is crying in the corner”. Some BBC employees have even gone as far as mocking civilians who were kidnapped by Hamas. BBC executive producer Mahmoud Sheleib took part in a Twitter conversation shortly after October 7 in which he appeared to joke about a woman whose grandmother was abducted by the terrorist group.

The BBC is employing people who celebrated the worst massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust. This means that our licence fees are paying the wages of people who celebrated the rape and slaughter of men, women and children. How can this be possible? Why should we accept it? If any other publicly funded organisation supported terrorist sympathisers, the outcry would be enormous. Yet the BBC seems to be impervious to its problems, unwilling to recognise and address the management failures that are poisoning one of Britain’s great institutions.

When breaches of impartiality are so egregious that they extend to the exaltation of a massacre, something has gone very wrong with the public broadcaster. But these scandals are made so much worse when the organisation fails to deal effectively with the problem.

Indeed, far from publicly recognising the scale of this issue, the BBC has gone out of its way to support and endorse its Arabic service. Director-general Tim Davie has recently stated his admiration for BBC Arabic, saying that the service was something “we should be very proud of”.

On taking the role of director-general, Davie chose to put impartiality at the heart of his tenure, describing it as his “number one priority”. Given the actions of BBC Arabic over the past seven months, it now seems clear that, unfortunately, he has failed in his mission in the most shameful way possible.

I'm sure you know that this situation isn't even vaguely comparable?

The United Kingdom’s position on the status of Jerusalem is clear and long-standing: it should be determined in a negotiated settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians. The final determination of Jerusalem must ensure that the holy city is a shared capital of Israel and a Palestinian state

The body of Shani Louk’s boyfriend has been recovered in Gaza.

Orion Hernandez Radoux, a French-Mexican dual national, was killed alongside his girlfriend during the Nova Festival attack, where 364 people lost their lives.

His body was among 3 recovered earlier today alongside Michel Nisenbaum, 59 and Hanan Yablonka, 42.

The recovery of the bodies comes as a blow to their families, who had held out hope they were still alive.

Not really a glowing endorsement of Israel if true?
