The BBC failed in its duty to provide fair and neutral coverage of the atrocities in Bondi and subtly reinforced an unfair and dangerous trope of collective responsibility.
It’s helpful to think of anti-Zionists as akin to addicts, in that, over time, they can’t get sufficiently high off the old anti-Israel canards anymore, and thus continue needing to impute greater degrees of malevolence to the Jewish state in order to maintain the visceral thrill of their belief that they’re fighting pure evil.

Throughout a month of extensive coverage of the latest flotilla stunt, the BBC failed to inform audiences about its organizers, motives, or legality—choosing instead to amplify absurd claims and promote the ‘famine’ and ‘genocide’ narratives it embraced long ago.
British Jews and officials blame reckless news reporting demonizing Israel for fueling attacks targeting Diaspora Jews. The Boston Globe's publication and defense of a baseless column comparing Israel to Nazis must be understood against that deadly backdrop.
