The most glaring examples are in news reports from Jerusalem by one particular correspondent, Fergal Keane. Throughout the war, Keane has used footage supplied by Hamas as the basis of his reports. He speaks as if he were there and has checked or verified the facts independently. The BBC continues to use Hamas footage supplied by Hamas-approved cameramen, which is sold to the BBC. Was it any surprise, therefore, that the BBC’s disgraceful Gaza documentary, narrated by the 13 year-old son of a Hamas Minister, was not only made with money paid to the Hamas family but approved by the BBC’s most senior editorial executives? Who can be in any doubt that there is still active antisemitism in the BBC and in this country? Given the reach and influence of the BBC, is this not of concern to BBC governors, and all of us?
