Board of Deputies President Writes to BBC Executives Over Bowen Piece

Our President Phil Rosenberg wrote to senior BBC executives on Sunday morning:


“We are deeply concerned about the piece prominently published today on the BBC website by Jeremy Bowen.

“Our President wrote to senior BBC executives this morning to complain about the unacceptable bias in the piece, which seems not to consider the Hamas war crimes which started and sustain this conflict, as well as highly problematic, unnecessary and offensive references to the Holocaust.

“Meanwhile there is no prominent coverage of the discovery of the body of Hamas leader Muhammed Sinwar, found in a bunker under the European Hospital, nor the widely circulating images of Hamas executing a Gazan in a public square.

“The BBC is failing in its duty of impartiality. It remains too frequently credulous to the claims of the Hamas terror organisation. This latest piece is campaigning journalism that is not what the licence-fee payer should be expected to subsidise.”
