“The use of the word genocide is effectively banned, and any contributor who uses this word is immediately shut down.”

Comments
* In depth coverage of released Israeli hostages but barely a mention of the released Palestinian prisoners and certainly no mention of their backgrounds or how/why they were detained.
* No challenging of Israeli narrative...
* no mention of breaches of Geneva Convention
* No mention of degree of UK complicity
etm
Another thing barely mentioned is the sidelining of the UN and reversion to letting the powers squabble amongst themselves instead.
Wider: no mention of how far right our politics has become.
I no longer watch the news but listen to the radio. Four dead Israeli hostages got more coverage & obvious sympathy than thousands of dead & displaced Palestinians.
I am ashamed of the BBC under rightwing control.
Israeli influence seems everywhere in the UK!
There isn't a legacy media outlet in the UK that is better than toilet paper.
Editors and board members etc need to be serving prison time for aiding and abetting war crimes.
