NARDWUAR: And I have a gift here for you, it’s a cache of documents destroyed by the Crown Prosecution Service while you were Director of Public Prosecutions. What can you tell us about Jimmy Savile?
STARMER: Nardwuar… How?
NARDWUAR: You’re Sir Keir Starmer. We have to know!
The Centre for Media Monitoring found that the BBC gave Israeli deaths 33 times more coverage per fatality than Palestinian deaths.
The study, which analyzed over 35,000 pieces of content from October 2023 to October 2024, highlighted a stark disparity in news prioritization and framing.
While Palestinian fatalities outnumbered Israeli deaths by a ratio of 34:1 during the study period (42,010 to 1,246), BBC reports mentioned Israeli deaths 33 times more frequently per killing in written articles and 19 times more in broadcast packages.
Emotive terms such as "murdered," "slaughtered," and "atrocity" were used almost exclusively for Israeli victims. The term "murder" was applied to Israeli deaths 220 times compared to just once for a Palestinian death.
Israeli deaths were mentioned 16 times more in headlines and 30 times more in opening paragraphs on a per-fatality basis. BBC presenters shared the Israeli perspective 11 times more frequently than the Palestinian perspective (2,340 vs. 217 times).
Important update!
Israel has agreed to delay the demolition of Aida Refugee Camp’s children’s football pitch by one week, starting today.
But this is only a delay, not a cancellation. Keep pushing until the demolition order is fully CANCELLED https://t.co/pV1OTTb4oA
Our (Labour) govt thinks the best response to Gaza bloodshed is ban protests, arrest Greta Thunberg, try prosecute Irish & Black rappers - all their attempts to distract from their shameful role backing (even arming) the Gaza war are themselves shameful.
You’ll never hear about this on Western media. Thousands Palestinians are tortured in Israeli prisons, some to death. Nearly 10,000 still detained , including women and children.
Today Israel bombed a school turned shelter in Gaza as a wedding was being held.
An IOF tank fired on the building with 6 people murdered and dozens injured.
Israeli forces then prevented ambulance and civil defence crews from reaching the injured, children amongst them.
There is no ceasefire.
There is no peace.
Just brutal colonial oppression.
