I'm not going to name the school, but the @BBC's coverage of the antisemitism in schools report featured interviews with children from a Jewish school.

Here's the rub, though.

The school's own published curriculum explicitly teaches Zionism, celebrates the establishment of Israel and describes preparing pupils to become "positive advocates for Israel" at university.

It even references bringing in organisations such as StandWithUs to prepare pupils for that advocacy.

Now, let me be absolutely clear. There is nothing wrong with teaching Jewish history, culture or identity. And antisemitism must be challenged wherever it exists.

But when children are actively encouraged to advocate for a particular state, rather than critically examine its history, policies and actions, surely we have to question whether this is education or ideological conditioning?

And here's the staggering hypocrisy.

We're being told that schools must exercise political impartiality when discussing Palestine, while a school can openly describe preparing children to advocate for Israel.

Political impartiality cannot be a principle applied selectively, depending on which side of a conflict children are encouraged to support.

And the BBC has a responsibility to scrutinise that distinction, not simply present children's views without examining the educational environment in which those views have developed.

Children deserve an education that teaches them how to think, not what to think.

#C4news Why was this report not been done years ago?...and no surprise, #mattfrei totally ignoring everything that has just been seen😳😞

[David Williams @DavidThePost]

'Gaza war with Hamas...'#C4news typically ignoring thousands of slaughtered civilians😳ZERO mention of the brutality targeted in Lebanon😞

[David Williams @DavidThePost]

#C4news Many people now believe the Palestinian/Israeli struggle DIDN'T start on October 7th so the same can be said for Ukraine and Russia, a coup backed by US politicians in 2014, UK forces training Ukrainian forces in 2015 to NATO involvement😞

[The Heartlands Tribune @HeartlandsTrib]

I'm old enough to remember Ukraine before February 2022. Before the great PR makeover. Before billions in British public money started flowing. Before the swastikas were quietly airbrushed out of the picture and yesterday's neo-Nazi problem became today's inconvenient history.

Back in January 2015, Ross Kemp travelled to Ukraine for his Extreme World documentary series, investigating the rise of the far right and the Azov Battalion, including its neo-Nazi elements and symbolism.

This was British mainstream television, not Russian propaganda.

Funny how quickly history gets rewritten when the geopolitical interests change and the public chequebook comes out.

Of course, Ukraine's corruption, extremist movements and internal divisions didn't magically disappear in February 2022. But suddenly, mentioning what British journalists had openly reported for years was enough to get you branded a Kremlin sympathiser.

Well, here's Ross Kemp reporting from Ukraine in 2015, long before the political rebranding.

No Russian bots. No Kremlin script. Just the history they would rather you didn't remember.

#C4news Why is Burnham NOT being called out?...instead Gibbon says he he rowed back a bit, is it SO important not to upset the political lobby? 🙄

[FreeByTheSea @Free_ByTheSea]

Andy Burnham just denied in Parliament that he said there was Russian interference in the Brexit referendum.
As he suggested in the House, I went back and looked again.
He did.
He put it ‘clearly on the record.’

[David Williams @DavidThePost]

#C4news ZERO mention of the countless conflicts in the last 20 years between Yemen, the Houthi's and the Saudi's..the Saudi's are also supplied with weaponry by the UK again🙄...in 2016 human rights violations committed with many UK weapons involved...AGAIN, zero mention😞
