When will it be time for the BBC news to take down the 'war on gaza' tab?

[mids2019]

The peace fire seems on the whole to be holding and therefore there is limited news from this region so why don't the BBC pull any articles on the middle east into the main site of at least into a middle East section?

There are many conflicts around the world that (Sudan, Somalia etc) that deserve attention yet still the BBC have a whole section up for war ended by a ceasefire? It has been shown there was bias within the BBC which is currently suffering a lot of aspirational damage so surely it could help itself by having equal coverage of conflicts around the world apart from focussing one that involves Israelis and Jews? Anti semitism has been well documented in this country and I think one way to reduce e it is to look at areas where there is an over focus on one particular conflict showing an anti Israel agenda.

The Guardian have stopped their exclusive sub heading so why can't the BBC follow?

It’s very biased. Israel get to be named as a country, Palestine doesn’t.

Isreal is at war with all of the Palestinian Territories and to claim it’s only Gaza that is under attack gives the impression that Isreal is doing nothing wrong anywhere else, which we all know is not true.

Channel 4 news tonight. Lots about Sudan and the UAE.

That’s great. It needs much more coverage, it is absolutely horrific.

Rather than taking down news about Israel and Palestine, they should report more about Sudan of course.

But certain posters here just want us to forget about Israel’s war crimes against the Palestinians so we can all repeat this cycle in 20 years time.

No we want Hamas to be destroyed and their tunnels also so this cannot happen again in 20 years time or ever.

Working on this proviso then why is there still a CINME board on MN? Surely if there is no news then it’s not needed.

Because people keep starting threads and MN thought it was better to put them into their own board. This is a discussion forum so it is driven by what people want to discuss, slightly different to editorial issues for the bbc.

Maybe the title of this section should be renamed towards peace in the middle East eventually? I think such a description may reflect where we may be in terms of condlixt. Yes, there will be issued to discuss and both the Israelis and Palestinians may have concerns but in terms of direct violent conflict i.e. war the title becomes a little misleading. The concern about continued referral to war in the middle East (i.e.Gaza) is that it gives the impression there are confused Israeli strikes on Gaza routinely allowing those that wish to push the genocide narrative a little more leeway.

We have plenty of tunnels under London 🤷🏽‍♀️ It’s not tunnels that are Israel’s problem.

Maybe the title could be changed when the genocide stops
From today:

I think the above article shows the amount of bias and group think in organisations like Amnesty. There is a ceasefire and the number of people dying has vastly reduced and continues to do so. Instead of celebrating an ongoing end of hostilities and a cease fire agreement people still try and stoke up division by bringing up the fallacious concept of genocide despite a truce!

What do Israel have to do for pro Palestinian organisations to admit there is peace or does the lack of violence not serve their narrative?

There are plenty of tunnels under Tel Aviv, too.

Israel have literally just admitted to killing two surrendered Palestinian men and you ask that question?

www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8dyqzm0rp4o.amp

Nope, the tab is "Israel-Gaza war".

They were wanted men - terrorists.

Must surprise you daily that there is so little concern from the international community about the deaths of such individuals at the hands of the IDF, even if they should have captured & imprisoned them.

Stop killing people? 12 dead in Syria including children.
Doesn’t feel very peaceful to me.

Forget about any moral discussion here for a second, think about this as strategy, as game theory:

What you are essentially positing is "if someone belongs to the side I oppose, rules - including the rule that surrender renders combatants hors de combat and hence entitled to some protection - should no longer apply."

Following that logic, what is more rational? To surrender, or to try and take out as many of the others as you can and have at least a hypothetical path to your own survival?

The armed wing of Hamas have stated that Hamas won't surrender, not even the fighters holed up in the Israeli-held Rafah area of Gaza.

I imagine these two were an anomaly. I said in my post that the IDF should have captured & imprisoned them. Nevertheless I doubt there will be many fucks given re 2 more dead terrorists.

It doesn’t matter if they were terrorists or not. It is still illegal to kill unarmed and surrendered soldiers. The Geneva convention has a purpose.

If it were legal to kill such people you could go around killing civilians and saying “oh but they were soldiers!” which is precisely what Israel has been doing.

They think they are above international law. Because they have been allowed to be by the USA. It’s morally unjustifiable.

When Israel stops killing babies. The ceasefire never held. Israel never stopped.

Added to the fact that the IDF bulldozed 100 olive trees yesterday in the West Bank. Why did they do that? Were the trees armed and dangerous?

I don't think Hamas are party to the Geneva Convention so it's a bit rich to expect their members to be protected by it, in my opinion.

Morally, the IDF should have captured and imprisoned these 2 terrorists rather than killed them. But in reality it feels like few will even pretend to care about it.

How about telling the whole story? People honestly seem to expect Israel to put up with militant activity on its borders. www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-detains-islamic-jemaah-suspects-syria-israeli-military-says-2025-11-28/

They killed women and children.Is that not violence?

Peace fire holding? Nice try.
