This June 29, 2026, Op-Ed by CAMERA Arabic’s manager appeared in JNS.
For several years, observers of the Arabic-language channel Al-Hiwar TV, based in the United Kingdom, have tracked its output with growing alarm, even as the British broadcasting regulator, Ofcom, has thrown up its hands in the face of blatant extremism.
Investigations over the last seven months by The Telegraph, The Jewish Chronicle and The Times have finally shone a much-needed nationwide spotlight on this channel, detailing how it has provided an uncontested platform for convicted terrorists and other Hamas apologists.
But while many Brits—Jews and non-Jews alike—are justifiably shocked by recent headlines exposing the network’s pro-terror tilt, CAMERA’s years-long research into Al-Hiwar’s programming demonstrates a disturbing reality that predates the Hamas-led massacre of 1,200 people and kidnapping of 251 others in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and Israel’s ensuing war against Hamas in Gaza. The network’s promotion of terrorism is not a recent phenomenon sparked by the situation in Gaza; it is a deeply entrenched, multi-year campaign of terror normalization that has exploited Ofcom’s blind spots for far too long.
