What the BBC did as 5000 protested over its pro-Israeli bias: interviewed Tony Blair
As Israel resumed its bombardment of Gaza, over 5000 blockaded the BBC in protest at its Gaza reporting. And what was the BBC doing? Interviewing Tony Blair about Gaza.
BBC Broadcasting House, London, blockaded by 5000 protesters for its pro-Israeli bias, 15 July 2014.
PROTESTERS ACCUSED the BBC of “anti-Palestinian bias” in its reporting of the Gaza conflict as they staged a demonstration outside the corporation’s central London headquarters.
Crowds chanted “BBC, shame on you” by New Broadcasting House near Oxford Circus this evening in a protest organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop and War and the CND.
It came as a proposed ceasefire deal brokered by Egypt collapsed.
Israeli forces resumed bombing just hours after the ceasefire came into effect this morning as the country’s eight-day conflict with Hamas saw the Palestinian death toll approach 200.
In a statement posted online ahead of the demonstration, organisers said: “As a publicly funded broadcaster the BBC is duty-bound to provide balanced reporting without bias.
