The real news is how anyone would believe that Israel says the truth about anything at all.

The real news is how the BBC, Guardian, NYP and all mainstream media repeats and amplifies israeli discourse taking it at face value as objective truth

Gotta love character assassination by screenshot, but I guess that's "cancel culture" for you.

A quick google doesn't support your assertion that he made those comments on "their" (BBC's) social media. And for me "a journalist they've worked with" doesn't equal "one of their correspondents".

But oh well, it's the age of emotions overriding our judgements, the question is, who's doing more of that between the 2 of us.

And your "general thread" is inaccessible since it requires making an account on a Nazi website...

You mean 'judging people by their own published thoughts'.

That wasn't the allegation in the comment you are responding to. Rather the allegation was that someone the BBC hired hates Jewish people, as shown on the person's social media.

> making an account on a Nazi website...

I thought really hard about engaging with you after you discussed this conspiracy theory but thought I may as well correct your post in case anyone didn't see what you were doing. This will be my last post in the thread. Seek help.

Are you sure you're not reading quotes that are provided with attritbution and mistaking them for an assertion of fact?

The incident had already garnered international attention since it involved workers of multiple international agencies. The footage was in the hands of the International Red Cross and the and the UN and was about to be presented at the UN council. There was no way to cover it up at this point. All that remains was about who gets the scoop, salvaging whatever credibility that remains while controlling the narrative.
