'Hamas Supporters': BBC Apologises

BBC News came under fire and apologised on 10 October on live television after the British news outlet published a misleading report on air, claiming that people who took part in demonstrations in the United Kingdom supporting Palestine were backing Palestinian resistance group Hamas.

But the truth is this is a common trick played by not only the mainstream media but also Western politicians and commentators: anyone who supports the Palestinian liberation struggle for freedom and justice somehow supports Hamas. It's a tactic to delegitimise the Palestinian solidarity movement with worldwide support.

Thousands of demonstrators have taken the streets of London alone since the 7 October escalation in the Gaza Strip to stand in solidarity with Palestinians and with similar protests happening in New York, Johannesburg, Rabat, Cairo, Tunis, Sydney, Santiago, Madrid and many more demanding the withdrawal of Israel from the occupied Palestinian territories.

Let us know your thoughts on the BBC's apology in the comments.

Should we give them credit for apologising, or nah?
