London, May 10 (RHC)-- Seething with outrage outside the BBC London headquarters, once again, protesters are accusing the UK's biggest broadcaster of whitewashing Israeli war crimes and silencing Palestinian voices.

One organizer of the protest said: "They are enabling the genocide to continue.  They are enabling this horror that we are all traumatized by and living through to continue."

Another protester told reporters: "The way the media is portraying what is happening in Gaza is now reflecting the current issues and what they're going through at the moment."

Protesters outside the BBC London headquarters outrage the UK’s biggest broadcaster for whitewashing Israeli war crimes and silencing Palestinian voices.  The protesters said that the BBC is complicit in this genocide and cannot explain clearly what's happening in Gaza.

However, it is not just the BBC's impartiality they're directing their criticism at.  Demonstrators pointed out that the whole political establishment of Britain is pro-Israeli, and the reason is not because they're pro-Israel it's because they're pro-United States.

Tim Gopsill, of the National Union of Journalists, said: "The truth is that the British government does what America says, and the BBC does what the British government says."

Members of direct-action group Palestine Action have once again targeted the headquarters of the BBC in London.   There have been numerous demonstrations over the course of the Gaza genocide at this very location, and every time, the demonstrators have demanded accountability from the BBC.

An institution meant to hold power to account, they say, has instead turned into a mouthpiece for it and has capitulated to Israeli pressure.

An egregious example of that, beyond the headlines, the choice of words, and, images, is the decision by the BBC in February this year to pull a rare documentary that showed life inside Gaza due to pressure over its narrator's identity; proof, the demonstrators say, of the BBC's fear of upsetting pro-Israel lobbies.

The BBC faces significant criticism after recently removing a documentary about Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip from its iPlayer platform.
