At the beginning of the week, 16-year-old Libby told the BBC that a man screamed at her that she had committed genocide, CAMERA's Leah Benoz writes in JNS. The BBC spent the rest of the week telling her attacker that the genocide was real.
While BBC readers will miss that Israel's north is still under attack, they do get a heavy dose of the broadcaster's false talking narratives including moral equivalency and the baseless claim that Israel targets journalists and healthcare workers.

After the AP initially ignored the death of 11-year-old Nesya Karadi, who succumbed to the wounds she suffered in an Iranian cluster munitions attack, CAMERA prompted coverage that was carried in more than 150 media outlets.
