The BBC is in civil war over its coverage of Israel and Palestine, with journalists there at

breaking point because of their outrage at what they regard as systematic pro-Israel propaganda

at the corporation.

That's the finding of my new detailed investigation into the BBC for the brilliant drop-site

news.

It's based on the testimony of 13 BBC journalists

on a huge amount of research and the crucial work of two data journalists who I worked with. Do go read

the piece at DropsiteNews.com. It's a long piece because there's a lot to expose. The link is in

the video description. Now fundamentally, of course,

BBC journalists emphasised this is a systemic problem. At one editorial meeting in November

2023, when there were lively heated disagreements in an effort to regain control,

Deborah Terness, the CEO of BBC News, and it declared, we've got to all remember this all

started on the 7th of October.

That caused a furious response for BBC staff.

Lillian Lander, the former head of the BBC World Service, disagreed, pointing to the decades

of Israeli occupation before the 7th of October.

She said, no, I'm not going to, I'm going to have to say that's not the case, and I'm sure

that's not how you meant to phrase it.

I know all this happened because it was corroborated by more than one BBC journalist who was present.

Now, as I was working on the piece, more examples kept coming up.

I mean, I was leaked to WhatsApp conversation, WhatsApp conversation of two,

oh, sorry, of multiple BBC correspondents and producers and editors in the Middle East.
