Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch has posted to X stating that she has written to the Director General of the BBC calling for an independent inquiry into the BBC’s entire pattern of systemic bias against Israel.
Ms Badenoch posted:
As exposed by @mishtal the BBC’s documentary, Gaza: Inside a Warzone, platformed Hamas-linked figures. Why is the licence fee being used to promote Hamas propaganda? Were they just given airtime, or were they given cash too? Hamas controls Gaza. How did the Beeb greenlight a programme from there without making sure its participants weren’t tied to a terrorist regime? Would they be this reckless if they were reporting from North Korea or Iran? Doubt it.
This isn’t a bug—it’s a feature of a system that’s gone very wrong.
That’s why I’ve written to the DG of the BBC calling for an independent inquiry into the BBC’s entire pattern of systemic bias against Israel. Our licence fee should not be used for this.
