Independent study by media watchdog group accuses the BBC of “blatant bias” against Israel in its war against Hamas.By World Israel News StaffThe BBC has demonstrated a “blatant bias” against Israel in its reporting of the two-year war between the Jewish state and Hamas, a media watchdog group says, noting a significant disparity in articles placing blame on Israel as opposed to Hamas.The study, as first reported by The Telegraph over the weekend, found that the BBC‘s headlines on the war between Israel and Hamas were three times more likely to be critical of Israel than of Hamas.The report cited the work of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA), which assessed the headlines of 2,542 articles published by the BBC News from October 7th, 2023, through October 7th, 2025.Of those 2,542 headlines, just 11% included language critical of Hamas, while more than three times as many (35%) were critical of Israel.“For two years, BBC News headlines have displayed an almost naive acceptance of any claim made by Hamas, while treating statements made by Israel with the utmost skepticism,” said CAMERA UK’s Hadar Sela.“Such blatant bias has helped fuel a surge in antisemitism within the UK and turned Britain into a hostile environment for the Jewish community.”The BBC‘s headlines also displayed more specific biases, with disproportionate coverage of allegations against Israel over claims it killed civilians, compared to the BBC‘s coverage of public executions in Gaza.Just one headline mentioned the numerous executions carried out by Hamas, many of which have been circulated via social media, while 33 headlines in two months pushed claims that Israel killed civilians waiting in line for aid.The BBC has also on dozens of occasions parroted false claims promoted by Hamas of mass starvation in the Gaza Strip, with 21 references to “starvation” or “starving” in its headlines, and 10 headlines featuring the word “famine.”The words “war crimes” were used six times in reference to Israel, while “genocide” or “genocidal” appeared 14 times.The study was published after the broadcaster’s Director-General Tim Davie resigned in the wake of disclosures pointing to what critics called “serious and systemic bias” across the broadcaster’s news reporting.The revelations centered on its coverage of the Israel–Gaza war, internal handling of gender-related debates, and the editing of President Donald Trump’s remarks on the day of the January 6 Capitol protests.The post BBC 3 times more likely to blame Israel than Hamas, study finds appeared first on World Israel News.
