    I guess the BBC insisting on stating “Hamas-run” in its titles related to this conflict is not about partiality or transparency but rather create a false equivalence with the armed forces. It’s an oversimplification aimed at creating a certain narrative, and based on multiple sources it’s a policy of theirs not to display “bias” against israel.

      I didn’t get the impression that the other commenter was laughing about BBC’s use of the term.

      I assumed they were doubting the health ministry’s reliability/accuracy, but maybe I’ve just become jaded after dealing with so many Zionazis online.

        Fair point, It could be. Just know that, in any case, my comment was not directed towards yours.

        I only used this opportunity to further explain my perspective regarding BBC coverage, that I wasn’t endorsing any kind of whitewashing.

          Oh I understood that, but thanks for making it explicit. Very few larger media outlets have covered Palestine fairly unfortunately.
