You misunderstood - BBC is getting in trouble for having passed off Hamas propaganda without fact checking for years. Whether you believe it or not (I suspect you won’t), the bias runs the other way.

I misunderstood nothing. The British establishment attacked the BBC because it wasnt supportive enough of the propaganda produced by a state conducting a Nazi-style genocide (according to the UN). "Hamas propaganda" is simply the racist trope used to describe that.

  I think you’re the one employing racist language here, and I don’t think further conversation would be helpful.

  > a state conducting a Nazi-style genocide (according to the UN). Can you provide a link showing that the UN is saying this? I kind of doubt the UN ever called it a "Nazi-style" genocide, and I don't think anyone serious is alleging anything of the kind (including serious people/groups who do call it a genocide - I don't think they'd characterize what's happening as a "Nazi-style" genocide, and nothing they say implies they think it.)

    The UN called it a genocide: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/09/israel-has-committed-genocide-gaza-strip-un-commission-finds https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/09/israel-has-c... They expressed no opinion about whether the intent on the genocide was due to a culture of racial supremacy. That isnt their job. But, there is a multitude of other evidence demonstrating that it was. This is why the people who try to downplay it on internet forums or elsewhere are exclusively racists, similar to holocaust deniers.

      The UN commission report is highly controversial with a lot of questions raised about their procedure and investigative bias. It is not racist or denialism to make legitimate complaints about the legal basis of an ill-considered report. Comparing it to Holocaust denialism is way out of line.
