I wonder how many of the emotive words, e.g. "murder", were being quoted from Israelis, rather than being the BBC's description of events

Why are they then not quoting Palestinians calling it a genocide, massacre and murder on headlines? You're being purposefully obtuse, and you're actually avoiding the word "genocide". Say it with me: Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians

BBC staff seems to think otherwise

"We’re writing to express our concerns over opaque editorial decisions and censorship at the BBC on the reporting of Israel/Palestine. We believe the refusal to broadcast the documentary ‘Gaza: Medics Under Fire’ is just one in a long line of agenda driven decisions. It demonstrates, once again, that the BBC is not reporting “without fear or favour” when it comes to Israel."

"[...]This didn’t happen by accident, rather by design. Much of the BBC’s coverage in this area is defined by anti-Palestinian racism"

"This conflict of interest highlights a double standard for BBC content makers who have themselves experienced censorship in the name of ‘impartiality’. In some instances staff have been accused of having an agenda because they have posted news articles critical of the Israeli government on their social media[...]"

Stop defending pro-genocide Zionist media. Or are you also a "moderatecentrist" regarding the genocide in Gaza?

The EU sanctions Russia because we're US puppet states, but the sanctions are more harmful to other countries like Cuba, Venezuela or the DPRK, none of which has invaded any other country. The half a million deaths per year mostly come from such countries and not Russia (though I fail to see how it's morally good to prevent medical goods from entering Russia or anywhere in the world).

I believe there is a lot of room for nuance when we start counting victims. To me, the Nazis are not functionally the same to Poland, even if Poland invaded Czechoslovakia together with them, because Poland didn't murder tens of millions of people. To me, the USA murdering tens of millions of people (38 million through economic sanctioning together with the EU since 1970, and 500k more every year) is absolutely horrifying and incomparable to anything else today except possibly the genocide in Gaza by Israel
