“Isn’t it amazing? If it was only possible to allow the mullahs from Tehran to fire ballistic missiles without interference then the status quo in the region could be maintained…”, added the British writer Douglas Murray in the account of theX his. “The British media has become a cesspool of misinformation and propaganda that supports Islamists.”
During the hours that have passed since the attack, the channel also conducted an interview with Professor Mohammad Morandi, an expert in English literature and Orientalism at the University of Tehran. In the interview, Morandi claimed that the chance of escalation in the region “depends on the Israeli regime”, which he claims led to escalation by murdering an Iranian senior official. The interviewer did not challenge the interviewee’s words.
“This interview is so appalling that I had to publish the whole thing,” British political broadcaster Lee Harris shared on the accountX his. “This vile ‘Professor’ spewed the most disgusting anti-Semitism I’ve ever seen on national television without interruption, and theBBC I hardly challenged him for that.”

It’s beyond parody, it’s beyond national embarrassment, it’s a source of national shame,” she concluded.
Earlier this week, the network’s former television director, Danny Cohen, published a report in which he accuses the Authority of publishing “false claims” and of distinctly anti-Israeli coverage of the war. Cohen accused theBBC Publishing “false and harmful claims regarding Israel’s conduct in this war”, as well as producing “misleading broadcasts” alongside similar information on social networks. In addition, the report added that while errors can occur from time to time in reports – according to him, “the errors are almost always in an anti-Israel direction. It will not be possible to compile a similar record of anti-Palestinian errors.”
