Ynet News, Feb. 26, 2025 “This whitewashing keeps viewers ill-informed about Hamas and promotes sympathy for their deadly ideology. It signifies the institutional failure behind the BBC’s reporting of the Israel-Hamas conflict.” The BBC has been accused of “whitewashing” participants’ views in its controversial Gaza documentary by mistranslating references to “the Jews” and omitting praise […]
Rachel O’Donoghue Algemeiner, Feb. 18, 2025 “In a brazen display of false equivalence, Kuenssberg used the horrifying condition of the freed Israeli hostages as a springboard to push baseless allegations of abuse in Israeli prisons — a remark Herzog rightly called “outrageous” for its vile moral equivalence.” The media’s coverage of the release of the first […]
Neil Davenport Spiked, Feb. 26, 2025 “For the British establishment, Islam is treated less as a religion and more a racial badge. To attack Islamist extremism is supposedly to attack a ‘brown-skinned’ community – a notion that smothers debate and only deepens divides between Muslims and non-Muslims.” The BBC’s recent documentary about Gaza has been […]
Adam LeBor The Free Press, Feb. 24, 2025 “BBC bosses absolutely know that there is a systemic problem of bias at BBC Arabic, but the fact that they have not admitted it is just pure gaslighting of the Jewish community.” Abdullah Al-Yazouri, a 13-year-old boy living in the Gaza Strip, is a natural in front […]

SHABBAT READING On the Origins of Peshat Commentary: Prof. Rabbi Robert Harris, The Torah.com, June 11, 2021 — Christian scholarship in 12th century northern France experienced what is often described as an intellectual Renaissance, one that incorporated the study of ancient Roman rhetorical texts, both in their own right (for techniques and theory) as well as in […]

Tom Slater Spiked, July 3, 2024 “Should Labour return to power tomorrow, Britain looks set to be remade – once again – in the image of our deranged cultural elites.” We at spiked have spent a good chunk of this UK General Election campaign lamenting how devoid of substance, principle, or even a flicker of […]

Editorial WSJ, July 5, 2024 “Their failures created an opening for Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, a party promising stricter immigration controls and the lower-tax policies the Tories should have delivered years ago. The exit poll pointed to a 13-seat win for Reform, which from a near-standing start signals a level of support that […]
Melanie Phillips The JC, June 30, 2024 “Starmer may have rid the Labour party of its most egregious antisemites. But as in the progressive world in general, he has drawn a wholly artificial line between Jew-hatred and the demonisation of Israel that is now de rigeur on the left.” According to received opinion, the question is […]
Jacob Judah Times of Israel, July 3, 2024 “Outwardly, our dominant concerns seem to be about Israel and antisemitism, but inwardly — in our day-to-day lives — we’re focused on the same issues as the rest of British society, such as health care, education and the cost of living.” Britain will go to […]
Robert Philpot Times of Israel, July 2, 2024 “As high-profile heads have rolled, the leadership has telegraphed a clear message: Labour’s political culture has changed and being a part of, or sympathetic to, the radical left will no longer be tolerated, appeased or rewarded.” It has taken Keir Starmer less than a decade to climb […]
