The BBC Israel Would Say Files. The full results are in for both broadcast and articles.
Analysis of 267 broadcast interviews between October 2023 and October 2026:
- BBC presenters put Israel's case, in Israel's name, to guests criticising Israel's conduct in Gaza in 252 separate interviews.
- They put the Palestinian case, in its name, to guests defending Israel's conduct in 15.
- To better portray this disparity, our compilation of the BBC defending Israel in their own words now runs at 48 mins 12 secs. Our compilation of the BBC defending Palestinians in their own words runs at 2 mins 38 secs.
- The plainest form, “Israel would say”, was put to critics in 75 interviews. “Palestinians [or any Palestinian group] would say” was put to defenders in 4.
- 10 of the 15 Palestinian cases came in the first six weeks after 7 October 2023, and 5 in the three years after. Presenters were still putting Israel's case to critics in 2026.
- The above point suggests an editorial shift to stop conveying what Palestinians are saying, but to continue conveying what "Israel would say".
Analysis of 1,618 written articles, from October 2023 to October 2026:
- When an article reported criticism of Israel's conduct in Gaza, the BBC added Israel's position 49% of the time (1,771 of 3,648 claims).
- When an article reported Israel's claims, the BBC added a Palestinian or UN position 38% of the time (914 of 2,431). A Palestinian position alone: 25%.
- Put the two official sides side by side. When the authorities in Gaza made a claim against Israel, the BBC added Israel's position 58% of the time (334 of 575). When Israel's government or army made a claim, the BBC added a Palestinian or UN position 39% of the time (855 of 2,165).
- Article by article: 71% of the articles reporting criticism of Israel gave Israel's position at least once. 53% of the articles reporting Israel's claims gave a Palestinian or UN position.
- In other words, in almost half of the articles where Israel makes a claim, it goes completely uncontested.

Whom has been infected with “a mutant virus”? Is it millions of unconnected people, or a tiny gaggle of people in politics and media who know each other, work in the same buildings, live within a forty mile radius of each other and were mostly educated at the same institutions?
