Will you write to the BBC?
Posted: 29th June 2025
We are now 20 months into Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people, and new footage emerges every day of the unconscionable violence Israel continues to unleash. Yet, the BBC is still failing to report the truth about Israel’s genocide. Will you write to the BBC?
Just last week, the BBC announced its disgraceful decision not to show the documentary “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack” after delaying its release for months. The documentary features Palestinian doctors and health workers in Gaza testifying to their experience surviving and saving lives in the midst of a genocide. These are voices that must be heard.
This is only the latest instance of the BBC’s silencing of Palestinians. It is yet another example, following the removal of the documentary “Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone”, of the BBC succumbing to pressure from those seeking to shield Israel from accountability for its escalating violence against the Palestinian people.
Email the BBC todayRecent reports have also suggested that the BBC plans to politically censor the band Kneecap during their live performance at Glastonbury. Kneecap has consistently used its platform to speak up for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and for an end to British complicity in Israel’s genocide against them.
Comprehensive new research by the Centre for Media Monitoring has added to the overwhelming body of evidence exposing the BBC’s fundamental failure to report the truth about Israel’s genocide. It highlights the shameful way in which the BBC consistently casts doubt on Palestinian and pro-Palestinian voices, its haranguing of Palestinian guests, or its silencing of them completely.
The BBC is rightly accountable to the public. We need as many people as possible writing to the BBC’s Director-General today to demand that it ends its complicity, stops hiding Israel’s genocide, and starts reporting the truth.
