Jimmy Dore: The BBC has faced serious backlash after a network presenter questioned the “proportionality” of Israel killing five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza if only one was the target, sparking outrage over the normalization of targeting reporters. Critics highlighted that under international law, journalists are considered civilians and cannot be deliberately attacked, yet Israel has systematically targeted Palestinian media workers.
Jimmy and Kurt Metzger, along with independent journalist James Li, discuss the BBC’s double standard, arguing that Western outlets would never justify such actions if the victims were their own reporters. The discussion also pointed to broader Western media complicity in covering for Israel’s actions and perpetuating propaganda that dehumanizes Palestinians.
