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 just name calling at this point. It’s insulting to those who do suffer from antisemitism and to those who are patently not anti-semites who simply cannot stand by and watch more killing and bullying. I suppose the many, many Jews and Israelis speaking up are anti-Semites as well? They’ve forgotten their relatives and ancestors who were killed or had to flee?

You and I and every other thinking person knows that’s bullshit.

If this conflict didn’t involve Jews the protests and condemnation would never have happened. Let’s get real here.

You are deluded, unfortunately. You are post-truth personified.

I believe there are people who protest without fully understanding the facts and context. I also don’t believe the full understanding of the context is needed now to see Netanyahu et al for what they are

I assumed that you were a thinking person.

But now I see that no context or contrary facts will penetrate your head. Or your fellow travellers’ heads.

I don't only focus on Gaza. Did you actually read my posts? I was asking people to put Gaza in its proper context in a world and human history full of conflict. I named a few conflicts I've followed and studied to make my point. I made further points about how all nationalities act horrifically at times. No one really wanted to engage with that tho- fair enough- draw your own conclusions about that.

If youre actually interested to know why I post on Gaza at all on these forums do feel free to ask- I may or may not answer 😉. I can assure you having previously been very much on the other side of this debate I've examined my own position very, very closely. I hope that helps.

The Zionists accuse them of self hatred and internalised antisemitism

That’s such a strawman. It’s not about forgetting the holocaust and it’s pretty insulting to accuse people of that. It’s about recognising that there were people there who didn’t deserve to be displaced.

The concern is not just about these 2 individuals though- although we can disagree about appropriateness on the killing of 2 individuals trying to surrender. It’s also a pattern that is repeated towards Palestinians over protracted period of time. It’s about upholding international law.

Interesting to hear a lot of coverage in US about potential war crimes or murder having been committed by Hesgeth in the U.S. over the deaths of Venezuelans.

There is news on war crimes by UK soldiers in Afghanistan being hidden.

Perfectly reasonable to expect more from Democracies.

It’s not antisemitism in itself to expect Israel also to adhere to international law. We expect it also of other democracies.

Who are you addressing this post to?

My last post was in response to this post. Thought I had tagged it

No you didn't tag me.

I guessed it was probably aimed at me therefore I was confused why you said we can disagree about appropriateness on the killing of 2 individuals trying to surrender.

I've said several times that due to them surrendering, the IDF should have captured and imprisoned these 2 terrorists rather than killed them.

So this is actually one of the few things we do agree on.

Thats good.

So if we agree the killing of these men was unjust, is it surprising that it was reported on in the news?

As I pointed out above - concerns about other democratic states potentially breaking international law has also been reported on recently.

I never said it shouldn't have been reported.

It's not a huge news story but I guess there isn't as much "news" to report on from Gaza now there is a ceasefire. This story is 5 days old now on the BBC website and I don't see any big response from the international community which suggests to me it's not as big a story as you seem to think.

The question the OP asked is not about whether this story have been reported but when will it be time for the BBC news to take down the war on Gaza tab.

@Twiglets1
I was continuing to respond to theme on why this news story was reported on and if Israel was being specifically targeted.

My point is that people pay attention to news stories when any democratic country breaks international law.

As to the OP’s point- whilst there’s still the interest in the region, news agencies will continue provide the tabs directing people to an area where they can easily read updates.

It would be odd to think that after nearly two years of reporting on the region, people would also not be interested in the ongoing repercussions of the war and how post war plans are unfolding.
