More details
"Israel under renewed Hamas attack": this was BBC headline on the escalating bloodshed in Gaza.
The media coverage hardly reflects the reality: a military superpower armed with all the modern warfare weaponry versus what David Cameron once describes as a "prison camp" firing almost entirely ineffective missiles.
Hundreds are reported to have died in Gaza of which are mainly children – no Israelis have been killed by Hamas rockets – and yet the BBC opts for the Orwellian "Israel under renewed Hamas attack"
The BBC is a public broadcaster, duty-bound to provide balanced reports that accurately reflect the reality on the ground. It is failing to do so, and it is up to licence payers – to whom it is accountable – to demand that it does. Or lose millions as a result of it
