The BBC has admitted that an interview with a lecturer at Gaza’s Islamic University who claimed the Hamas attacks on Israel were “the same” as the Warsaw Ghetto uprising should not have been aired.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews complained about the interview with Refaat Alareer, titled on-screen as a “Palestinian educator”, broadcast on Saturday on the BBC News channel.

Arguing that the attacks by what he termed “the Palestinian resistance” were “legitimate and moral”, Alareer went on to say the killings were “exactly like the Warsaw ghetto uprising”, referencing the battle fought by the Jewish resistance when the Nazis tried to “liquidate” the Polish city’s ghetto in 1943.

In otherwords, we can’t compare them because how dare you conflate the Nazi killings of Jews to Jews killing Palestinians.

BBC going full pigpoop

    BBC rushes to rescind a rare moment of being correct.

    Also, as always; Judaism is not Zionism and Zionism is not Judaism. Israel does not speak for or act on behalf of all Jewish people, only on behalf of Zionists.
