‘Horrifically biased’: Former British commander accuses BBC of anti-Israel bias
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Former British commander Richard Kemp has accused the BBC of being “horrifically biased” towards Hamas in its coverage of the war in the Middle East.
“There is always undue criticism of Israel and they go easy on Hamas,” Mr Kemp told Sky News Australia.
“There is no doubt in my mind that is a consistent editorial policy and it has been that way with the BBC for a long time, not just with this conflict but certainly since I can ever remember seeing coverage of the Middle East.”
Thanks to Sky Australia for giving voice to truth. Excellent, honest interview with Colonel Kemp.
As far as the BBC is concerned, as long as it's left-wing and anti-British, anti-American, and anti Israeli, it 's OK with them.
you thinking the BBC is left wing.....is the exact opposite. they're far right evangelists for genocide, yet not far enough to the right for you fascists? you are expressing support for the world's terrorist states who are the worst examples of humanity. you have a big racist supremacist problem, and too ignorant to recognise your own weakness
Why is that? Is it based on their staff ideology, that for some reason tend to align (maybe the ideological bias is part of BBC hiring process, or just a common bias for journalists in general), or do they get financing behind the scenes for this bias?
@@Huppyhuppyhuppy I believe it's all part of an overall strategy of left-wing / Marxist politicians all over Europe who want to replace Democratic politics as we know it.
It starts in our schools with teachers who are left-wing themselves. They sometimes promote their biases against our children by omission or context in history lessons.
These kids then go into further education, where they're met with a wave of left-wing Marxist political activists in the lecturing staff and student organisations. They are spoon-fed left-wing ideology and made to feel they're out of place if they have alternative ideas to the standard left-wing narrative.
Conservative values are condemned, and debate is closed down by cancelling or violently protesting those who want to speak. Sitting on the fence is not permitted. You will be shunned if you don't fall in line.
I experienced this myself thirty years ago. It's not new.
Now, it got out of control, however.
These people then go on to work in journalism and civil services and become very active in unions to further their own political agendas. They adopt a tactic from the 'old boy network' and promote each other to the top jobs, including influential newsroom positions.
They are the ones who set the news agenda. It's what they prioritise and omit as much as what they promote.
We see the outcome of this every night on television news channels.
Re jobs for the boys.
During the interview process, the questions are such that the candidates are asked to reveal what their political affiliations are, and Neutral is as bad as being conservative.
That's how it works.
Spot on, Richard Kemp!!!
Richard is one of the most intelligent men around when it comes to understanding what is going on in the Middle East. A real gentleman too.
Also an IDF consultant
@@trevaudio ....that's why he is intelligent. Unlike you, loser. Get use to it. There ARE intelligent people and then there ARE.....those like you....losers who can't get over it.
He ain’t that intelligent he was a soldier so brainwashed that weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and who put that rumour about I wonder
an old joke, "if you don,t know what's happening in Northern Ireland you must be watching British television",now if your confused about what's going on worldwide you must be watching mainstreemedia
@@anthonywilson336It’s the same in the USA. Also Google. Try googling how many Israelis have been killed in this war. They have zero, only how many Gasans and it’s the numbers of HamAss.
Thank you former British Commander Richard Kemp
Sad that we need a foreigner to tell us what we have known for years .
Despicable BBC
Richard Kemp is brilliant - thank you
It's part of the woke culture in the BBC
Nothing woke about them deadbeat more like !
Its started long before woke invented.
Islamofascists in the chat are so triggered bbc has been busted lol
Islamofascists, I like that 👍🏻
Might as well call them nazis. They were in cahoots with Hitler through the grand mufti of Jerusalem. And so they carry on today. Racism and jealousy through the roof. Boggles the mind
Busted by who ? A Jewish uk lawyer based in Israel ??😂
@@trevaudio by a lot of people. Why you say it was only by one lawyer?? Because he pointed out 1500? So if millions of people say BBC is biased theu all got to point the same amount?
@@trevaudioSorry bud, but they are, sorry...but not sorry that it doesn't fit your narrative of blaming jews on all of the worlds problems 😂
In the UK we now have a pro-Muslim government and a pro-Muslim State Broadcaster in the BBC. The latter is desperate to please the Starmer government as their Royal Charter (licence fee) comes up for renewal in 2027 and the BBC want to keep their cozy culture of paying themselves six-figure salaries.
🇬🇧🇮🇱
There needs to be a royal commission into the BBC. I have flipped from being a watcher to a disgusted avoider.
The IDF MUST NOT withdraw from the Phildelphi Corredor.
Here from South Africa I agree 100% with you.
nazi genocide talk. you racists are a despicable bunch. You are now basically applauding, genocide, apartheid, existential threat of WW3, nuclear annihilation.....and all for a psychopathic regime committing genocide. Are you people actually human?
No captives then@@nehemiagideonvandeventer3858
They won't be
@@EllaKelly-nq3qp are you fighting there? Or are you on your Sofa?
Colonel Kemp is correct. The BBC has become a mouth piece of Hamas and during the war against ISIS in Syria played down the barbarity of ISIS when it could. Colonel Kemp Haa moral integrity and honesty .
Paulmartingurnett2168 absolutely agree, 💯%🕊️✝️🇬🇧❤️
Total rubbish...a mouth piece for a genocidal state
The BBC has been a left wing organization for thirty years. They were instrumental in getting Blair elected in 1997.
ISIS is a totally western construct. the US and other NATO countries, trained, armed and paid their wages. that's how informed you are - you don't even know basic stuff because you watch Sky news. You're ignorant and indoctrinated. you've been brainwashed to support fascism. unless nazism is your chosen political ideology.
Ahahaha accusing the British government of being a mouthpiece now? Get to Fxck
Thank you from Jerusalem R. Kemp💜
I am absolutely horrified too.
The ABC in Australia and other mainstream media outlets are not much better.
Silly statement.Hammas has been condemned by the ABC.
The worst is Sky News Australia with their horrific pro Israel bias.
Two egregious examples just in the last week or so.
ABC is worse
The BBC's coverage is vastly more balanced and insightful than the ABC.
This is not news. For those of us in Israel this has been a well known fact.
Israel only lies about the truth. Do you research. This guy is an idiot lmao 🤣
The entire world would disagree with him.
Not just you, liebasolar but also many here in Australia.
It is easy and the world needs to know, not just Israel. Israel is just the beginning. This is Islamism and Islamism simply says to spread itself throughout the world..... Israel is just at the forefront but soon the world will be in Israel's shoes.
That doesn't mean it isn't news.
Totally agree, Richard. Hats off to you. I have long since given up on the BBC (some four years now) and that goes for CNN, too. And thank God we have Sky Australia to air this disgraceful mass media bias.
Watching from Nigeria... I was furious about BBC's headlines encouraging news outlets like DW pointing accusing fingers at Israel.
"Painful to watch", is so accurate.
Evil truly exists, it radiates from the minds of mankind.
So lucky that you are better than human then?
@@imankhandaker6103 Not sure what you mean, bur yeah ok, I will take it as a compliment 😉
@@imankhandaker6103 You are a very stupid PIG who support Nazi-Hamas! Everybody who supports Hamas, todays Nazis, are stupid dictatorship supporters! You are the same kind of people who supported the Nazis during WWII! Look in the mirror and you will see a stupid PIG!
The coward Nazi-Hamas, ruled by its masters in Iran (the country that beat young women to death because they cover their hair wrong), hides in tunnels in Gaza and uses civilians as human shields. Hamas uses hospitals, schools etc to hide hostages and weapons. Do not forget that the Muslim leader Grand Mufti of Jerusalem supported Hitler during WWII.
It is Nazi-Hamas fault that Israel have attacked Gaza!
Should Israel just wait for the next attack when Nazi-Hamas kills civilians and aims to wipe out Israel!? Should the Allies in WWII stop defeating the Nazis??
Hamas always blames others and lies. They are like Nazis who say there were no concentration camps!
It is pathetic to see how naive and stupid Queers for Gaza supports Nazi-Hamas. Its like Chickens for KFC or Cows for McDonalds.
Palestine have NEVER been a country ruled by the “Palestinians”!!! Therefore, Israel has never "stolen" any land from the “Palestinians”.
The Arabs got a very large part (including Jordan!) of the British territory in 1948 and the Jews got a smaller part. The Arabs then started a war against Israel and ensured that many Arabs were evacuated. Then the Arabs lost all the wars!
Between March and April 1948, an evacuation phase followed when tens of thousands of Arabs left the Sharon Plain at the call of the Mufti in Jerusalem who was Amin al-Husseini. He hated Jews, collaborated with Nazi Germany and dreamed of being able to implement a "final Jewish solution" also in the Middle East, of the same kind that Hitler had undertaken in Europe.
The Arabs who evacuated often sold their belongings to their Jewish neighbors before leaving. The Nakba-lie of lying persons does not become more true because these liars repeat it again and again. It's like saying the moon is made of cheese 1000 times and then believing it.
Since 1948, some one million Jews have become victims of accelerated anti-Semitism. These are the Jews in the Muslim countries of the Arab League and of North Africa - communities which have existed for thousands of years. … entire communities are seeking asylum in Israel In the Muslim countries extensive repression is carried out against the resident Jews: they are boycotted, exploited economically, arrested and subjected to physical violence. Some countries direct inspiration is drawn from Nazism!
The arabs have started a lot of wars against Israel to wipe out Israel and LOST everytime. Then the arabs have used the victim-card and a lot of its stupid supporter have believed the arabs when they say that the earth is flat!
Israel does NOT commit any genocide I Gaza! You as a Nazi-supporter also believe that the allied forced did carry out genocide against germans in Berlin 1945? Its because of your friends in Hamas that civilians dies, because Hamas use them as human shields! German soldiers were not so cowardly that they wore civilian clothes and hid among civilians the way the cowards in Hamas do! Hamas leaders want civilians to be killed and injured. The more killed/injured the better these Hamas- terrorists think! Don't blame Israel!
How many times have you protested against Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Assad's genocide in Syria etc etc????
You are a hypocrite!!!
It doesn't matter how many times you write your lies, they are still made up lies. You also think the moon is made of cheese! Stop being more stupid than you are!
Peace will only come when the arabs love their children more than they hate jews.
They're a stoner!@@imankhandaker6103
For thought, have a look Mark chapter 7( in the new testament)verses 19 to 21 regarding human nature.
Precisely. Cancelled my licence. Wouldn’t trust them with the weather forecasting.
I used to have the highest regard for BBC, but thinking of stopping my licence fee now. Pointless watching the news when it's so biased
BBC needs putting out of business .
Israel has my support
Then,who is going to tell Israeli piekies- Hasbra 😮
You also look like a girl with no in, so that is understandable
Stand with Israel
No
As a Jew I stand with the Palestinians free free Palestine
Palestine is a construct…. how many Jews? … How many Muslim countries surrounding Israel?
@@prometheusunbound🤡
You clearly agree with genocide....sick
I despise the BBC, Israel has my unwavering support. 🇬🇧♥️🇮🇱
The way that the BBC frames its stories from the Middle East, particularly about Israel, is deeply disturbing to anyone who regards objectivity and truth as important to journalism. I have experience in the advertising industry, so I know how words can be used for particular purposes. Phrases like 'Hamas reports' followed by 'Israel claims' are nudging you towards a certain view, as did the description on the BBC news a few days ago of the October 7 atrocities as 'raids.' I count quite a few left-wing activists among my friends, who don't even notice that this is being done to them. The BBC should be ashamed of itself.
they are absolutely despicable at the BBC shameless
@@danielyefet4757yes... That's why I cancelled my tv license last year. They'll never get another penny off me!
@@heron6462, the Australian ABC, is just as biased. As a taxpayer, I resent working for their contempt for Israel. Their leftist, woke agenda, is disturbing. They have to be defunded, and if the leftist wants to watch the ABC. Set up a subscription to watch it. It would save us billions.
You support a genocidal state ? Really?
Despicable !
Egypt is the main supplier of wepon to Hamad while having a peace agreement with Israel.
This is what a peace agreement looks like with arab countries.

Go get 'em Israel.
STAND STRONG ISRAEL
Israel same as Hitler. Remember????"
Egypt breached the peace agreement via its proxy hamas helping them smuggle weapons from egypt
I've watched a video of a former BBC journalist discuss being told to " make numbers up " in BBC's reporting with Israel.
Who was that journalist?
Do share otherwise it makes you look like a liar
Bbc doesn't tell about Genocides of Armenian peoples in 1915 or just now how Turkey and Azerbaijan bullying on Armenia, Philadelphi corridor should remain in control of Israel 🎗🇮🇱✝️✡🇭🇲
Could a un peacekeepers force man the corridor? Or is that a job even they would not do?
patrricialove4 Yes is has covered this many times, as an aside did you know, Israel has been suppling Arms for years to Azerbaijan to exterminate the Christian Armenian people
you are so badly informed, you should wake up
@@mrc391 UN peacekeepers rarely use force or fight anyone. They're part of a peace agreement and mostly observe it. There's no way they would fight Hamas to prevent them from doing anything they want (or any of the other parties). There are UN peacekeeping forces in Lebanon who don't do anything to prevent attacks on Israel from Lebanon.
patricialove4 I have already been deleted for saying this, but Israel has been supplying weapons to Azerbaijan for many years to destroy the Christian population, in fact every word you utter about the BBC is wrong
And Christian genocide happening in Nigeria
100% about BBC. Regarding US support, or lack of, I'd add the following 2 comments. 1. Regarding UN actions against Israel, the US, for the first time ever, allowed false UN war crime resolutions against Israel to pass, by choosing to abstain rather than vote no. This dealt a huge blow diplomatically with real world consequences such as UK halting arms sales to Israel. 2. US support of anti-Israel riots on campuses across the country has allowed the BDS movement a measure of success and schools & other business are looking into boycotting Israel. Advancing the efforts to destroy Israel on the economic front.
And a third comment can be added: The US - allegedly, probably imo - supported the left-leaning protests in Israel as an attempt to destabilize the government of Netanyahu.
@@andema83 Hadn't heard US using covert ops to undermine Bibi. Could this be just another Tehran-based rumor to damage US/Israel ties? In any event, US actions & statements have been undermining Bibi overtly, all along. Achieving the same result in Israel.
Look what Palestine did to Jorda and Lebanon
No talk of Egypt's wall and blockade.
No talk of hamas promosing that oct 7th was only the beginning of what they planned.
No one says which patt of Palestine is occupied
Zero Jews in Ramallah
Zero Jews in Nablus
Zero Jews in jenin
And before oct 7th zero Jews were in the west bank or Gaza
You forgot to mention what paliztnz did to Kwait
Yes. As far as the international community is concerned, Arabs can settle everywhere in the land when jews cannot and are being slammed as "aggressive expansionist settlers". Strange isn't it?
As ever, the Palis thought that the Arab world would rise against Israel. As ever, they got it all wrong
Black September in Jordan 1970s
Lebanon 1980s
Kuwait 1990s
Each and every time they lost
Zero Arabs in beit el
Zero Arabs in west jerseleum
Zero Arabs in Ariel
Zero Arabs in gush etzion
If you’re an Arab good luck buying a home and if your a Bedouin isreal will bulldozer your houses 187 times in the Negev
Keep talking to children of edom to make yourself feel good
So true!!! It is so annoying, one can no longer trust them to be telling truth. Unfair to the gills.
Nothing from Turkey is ever serious
I would like to Thank Sky News Australia for reporting the truth ❤ Not only in Israel but showing what is realy happning in tne UK ,USA and so on Thank You very much
Egypt shares intel with Hamas, the fact the United States are negotiating with Eqpty and Qatar is disturbing they both work with Hamas.
And the BBC

Comander Kemp is awesome!
Qatar Money, it’s all it is
The media bias of the BBC , I always got the same impression about interviews, that bbc is very aggressively asking Israeli spokespersons in interviews. It’s a shame!
Israeli spokespeople not only never tell the truth but are also really bad at lying.
Keep speaking up!
We already know what happens when you make a deal with Satan.
Shouldn’t Egypt be investigated as to their involvement in aiding a terrorist regime???
The BBC, the Democrats 😂😂😂😂😂 hurry up and get back Trump! God bless Israel.
Spot on. The alternative is unthinkable.
Col. Kemp convincing as ever. Greetings from Germany.
Of course.and so are many media outlets
Richard Kemp is so refreshing. I can't get enough of his sane, straight talking integrity.
Thank you Richard Kemp and thank you Sky Australia
He’s absolutely right, unbiased editorial impartiality died a long time ago. He’s not the only person to notice it. Added to which covering up Huw Edwards etc shows how devious a corporation we’ve been compromised by. We pay their wages.
Any large organisation with a majority of minority employees, needs to consider if its employment policy has compromised re: objectivity.
On this, the heart of the civil service was founded upon moral, ethical principles of impartiality and objectivity, not so long ago, we were informed in news programs how civil servants went on to threaten a mass strike over this topic- what was impartial about that?
The British tax payer funds their wage and often generous pension through public funds for these large employers. Yet we did not appoint any of them through choice; we expect impartiality on this and other topics. Yet seemingly from their actions, neither of these public sector employees have demonstrated by true, unbiased, objectivity/ impartiality, as recognised by many to be a contracted rule of employment. One wonders about that intelligence report David Lammy recently touted as being his source of knowledge. Was it truly unbiased, objective and therefore correct without equivocation?
Nobody is calling out Egypt and right now there are thousands of Hamas forces waiting behind the border of the Philadelphia corridor which huge amounts of weapons and Egyptians have benefited financially with billions of dollars for 20 years smuggling weapons into Gaza
Thank you for speaking the truth.
100% right!
‘Horrifically biased’ for years and years...
Kemp is so great!!!!!
Spot on Commander
So much for the Trusted News Initiative
German Public broadcast is biased as well. I'm very unhappy with this.
Thank you very much sky news, Australia you are really standing out between all the mainstream media in the world
Specially, Rita❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your support 🙏💙🇮🇱
God gave this region to the Israelites centuries ago and nothing has changed.....
The bbc had a woman who asked the Israeli spokes man whether they thought the hostages were worth more by agreen to release 2 arab prisoners for every one hostage. they have buried her I think,
Well what's wrong with the question?
I like the use of the word 'horrifically' to describe bias. How ironic. Horrifically biased against literal horrors.
hardly watch bbc
Thank you for your honest reporting , everyone should know the truth , well done the BBC needs to be investigated
This is the go to man on all up to date info. He’s brilliant and has a very firm understanding of the conflict and its background.
BBC is horrendously biased in everything, but so is Sky.
DEFUND the BBC❗️
I stopped watching the very first week after October 7. I’m so glad that someone is counting.
Thank you for trying to report the truth in tsunami of misinformation and lies.
It isn't just the tunnels between Egypt and Gaza. They do it on land.
Of course they lie - why is anyone surprised? It’s intentional
Compare the BBCs coverage of Ukraine compared to their coverage of Israel. The BBC obviously (and rightly) supports Ukraine in a way that they DON't support Israel. Or think back to their coverage of the Falklands war. They picks a side and then roots for it irrespective of the rights and wrongs of the situation. I fail to understand why they are not rooting for Israel in the same way as they root for Ukraine or the UK in the Falklands. I'm starting to wonder what kind of staff are actually working in their news editorial offices now.
They didn't root for Britain in The Falklands Conflict. The BBC announced the British assault on Goose Green before it had actually started, and also broadcast that Argentinian bombs were hitting our ships and not exploding. That caused them to change their tactics, which led to the deaths of 40+ sailors and Welsh guardsmen on the Sir Galahad. The BBC has been anti British for a long time.
News Flash: The BBC has always been somewhat ’confused’ in its editorials. It’s risable that HM armed forces member should decry the fact when the peddling of goverment propaganda was daily occurrence during the conflict in N. Ireland. (see Morris and Iannuci’s ”Brass Eye: The Day Today, B*&bdogs for further insight- also a BBC production)
BBC and CNN doesn't deserve a second of your time. Spend it wisely on individuals who lead by example in their own lives.
Where do you suggest to see the news ? I am honestly asking if you know of some channel that is not biased.
Very true it’s the same here in ireland
"The BBC is institutionally biased: liberal-left, politically correct, and biased against Brexit; and I'm glad to have escaped the thought police."
That was the verdict of John Humphrys, who worked for the BBC for 53 years. He was one of the BBC's most senior broadcasters.
After the October massacre, the BBC's International editor, Lyse Doucet, said it was "an audacious attack," and their senior, Middle East Correspondent, Jeremy Bowen struggled to define Hamas: " Hamas ... people."
The BBC had deemed that Hamas terrorists should not be described as ...terrorists.
QED.
Need to zone in on the actual person that originates. Best way to shut it down.
Once aussies saw the actual originator of referendum parameters, it was over.
Same in NZ. Big statements. But once they zone in to actual person who originated ,they can shut it down when people see a loonie.
This is how GBNEWS Is so powerful. They have actual politicians on team
Who know which MP presented a bill. They know which pr firm initiated a bill & what their agenda is & where it comes from. They know ,because they are part of the process.

is anyone surprised by this?? Glad its out in the open anyway but no surprise AT ALL!
