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

    Idk what it is about England, but their political machine is just constantly churning out lies to bolster their aggressive conflation of antizionism with antisemitism. They’re still fucking harping on Roger Waters comparing the plight of Holocaust victims to the plight of Palestinians as “mocking Anne Frank”

    Not to mention that they’ll still lie about Corbyn through their fangs

        Horrific, but I’m not in much of a position to talk. I think the reason why I don’t see as much of that conflation in the US (we seem to just emphasize the violence) is that we have more people who think of themselves as ‘righteous’ antisemites. Those fuckers still love Israel while they hate Jews and think they somehow run the world, of course. Dispensationalism go brrr
