Over 100 BBC writers were forced to publish pro-Israeli content, despite facts and personal convictions about genocide in Gaza

In an unprecedented rebellion against institutional censorship, over 100 BBC journalists have risked their careers to expose the deliberate suppression of Palestinian suffering and the relentless amplification of Israeli propaganda. A scorching internal letter, co-signed by more than 230 media professionals, scholars, and actors, accuses Britain’s most influential broadcaster of abandoning journalistic integrity to serve political interests. The explosive document, detailed by The Independent, reveals how BBC management—under the influence of Tory-linked executive Sir Robbie Gibb—has systematically erased Palestinian narratives, ignored war crimes, and twisted facts to absolve Israel of its atrocities. The truth is undeniable: objective journalism is dead at the BBC, replaced by state-sanctioned disinformation.

Key points:

• Over 100 anonymous BBC employees and 130 external signees have blasted the network’s pro-Israel bias, censorship, and historical revisionism.
• BBC leadership killed a damning documentary on Gaza’s humanitarian crisis despite it passing all editorial checks, allegedly due to fear of Israeli backlash.
• Whistleblowers accuse Sir Robbie Gibb, a BBC executive with ties to the Jewish Chronicle, of enforcing anti-Palestinian racism while masquerading as an impartial arbiter.
• The BBC’s refusal to scrutinize UK arms sales to Israel and its downplaying of genocide allegations reveal complicity in war crimes.
• Palestinian deaths are systematically dehumanized, while Israeli claims—no matter how debunked—are presented as gospel truth.

BBC journalists break silence

BBC journalists break silence: “We are forced to be Israel’s PR machine while Palestinian voices are erased.” The BBC’s editorial malpractice isn’t accidental—it’s engineered. The suppressed documentary, Gaza: Medics Under Fire, was axed despite meeting all journalistic standards, proving the network prioritizes politics over truth. Journalists describe an environment where Palestinian suffering is minimized through language tricks—Israeli victims are “massacred,” while Palestinians are merely “killed.” Internal sources confess: “We often feel we are in an abusive relationship with the BBC, in which we are gaslit and pacified.”

The network’s double standards are glaring. While Putin’s war crimes in Ukraine dominate headlines, Israel’s slaughter of 40,000 Palestinians (including 15,000 children) is framed as “complex.” Eyewitness footage from Gaza is dismissed, while Israeli military claims are repeated verbatim—even as they crumble under scrutiny. One staffer lamented: “Audiences are being asked not to believe their own eyes and ears.” The reality of genocide in Gaza is being suppressed by an aggressive pro-Israeli lobby that coerces journalists, pastors, and other community voices to submit.

The Gibb factor: how Tory operatives control BBC ‘impartiality’

At the heart of this scandal sits Sir Robbie Gibb—a former Tory spin doctor turned BBC executive who embodies the revolving door between government propaganda and “neutral” media. A close ally of Theresa May and ex-editor of Newsnight, Gibb reportedly vetoes unflattering Israel coverage while promoting pro-war narratives. His ties to the Jewish Chronicle—a publication notorious for spreading anti-Palestinian racism—raise alarming conflicts, yet BBC leadership turns a blind eye.

Whistleblowers call his influence “untenable.” One anonymous journalist stated: “By comparison, staff posting pro-Palestine articles on personal social media face disciplinary action. The hypocrisy is suffocating.” Emily Maitlis, a respected former BBC anchor, publicly labeled Gibb an “active agent of the Conservative Party” shaping news to serve Tory ideology, which is religiously submissive to Zionism.

The genocide whitewash: erasing scholars, excusing slaughter

Perhaps the BBC’s most grotesque betrayal is its refusal to acknowledge Israeli genocide. While the International Court of Justice warns of plausible genocide in Gaza—backed by scholars, Holocaust experts, and the UN—the BBC buries the evidence. Sentences like “Hamas-run health ministry” undermine Palestinian death tolls, yet Netanyahu’s ICC arrest warrant for war crimes gets zero prime-time coverage.

BBC staff, speaking out, admit: “The BBC’s news output is out of step with reality.” The network frames Palestinian resistance as terrorism while ignoring Israel’s 75-year occupation. The letter’s signatories—including actors Juliet Stevenson and Miriam Margolyes—demand BBC leadership purge Gibb and end its “anti-Palestinian racism.” Until then, taxpayers are funding a propaganda arm for monolithic apartheid.
