'The CfMM analysed some 3,873 online articles and 32,092 broadcast segments, to identify what it called “the marginalisation of Palestinian suffering and the amplification of Israeli narratives.” Central to their claim is that despite Palestinian fatalities outnumbering Israeli ones by more than 34 to 1, coverage of Israeli deaths dominated.'

I today received a further interview request from the BBC:

Dear Dr Rabbani this is X from BBC World Service radio’s Newshour programme.

Is there any chance you might be able to give us a short interview today, partly to respond to an interview Ambassador Mike Huckabee gave us last night (in which he suggested that a State of Palestine could be set up 'on Arab land' by which he meant NOT in Palestine. . ), partly to hear your own arguments and position on what needs to happen next and who needs (and has a duty) to do what, right now, to bring an end to the suffering in Gaza.

We could either pre-record this in the next two hours, or do it LIVE at 16:05 EEST (14:05 UK time)

tweet by Mouin Rabbani reproducing another exchange with the BBC about a possible interview. Part 2:

Dear X,

Thank you for your message and invitation.

I will be happy to consider interview requests from the BBC once it has broadcast the documentary produced by Basement Films, “Gaza: Medics Under Fire”, commissioned by the BBC, cleared for broadcast by relevant BBC editors, and subsequently censored and withheld from the public without credible explanation.

Given the extraordinary amount of hard work that was invested in this documentary by Basement Films, BBC staff, and first and foremost numerous sources in Gaza amidst an escalating genocide, it would constitute an unethical act of betrayal for me to do otherwise.

On a separate note, in case relevant to your request, please note I do not have a doctorate.

I very much hope the BBC will once again prioritise its mission to inform the viewing (and paying) public over services to the genocidal apartheid regime of Israel.

With best regards, Mouin

A masterclass by scholar #MouinRabbani on how to deal with #media serving as accessories to genocide. Chapeau bas.

Dear Mouin,
I hope you're well. BBC’s World Service programme, Newsday, would like to invite you for a brief interview to discuss the latest developments in Gaza.
In particular, we’re following a report that Palestinians in Gaza have once again come under fire while heading to an aid distribution site run by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Witnesses say this is the first time the attackers appeared to be Palestinian gunmen allied with the IDF.
Could you shed some light on this? We’d also like to ask about reports that Israel has been supplying weapons to a clan in Gaza led by a man named Yasser Abu Shabab.
The interview will be pre-recorded tonight at 03:30 London time / 22:30 New York time, and we’d connect via WhatsApp call. Are you available?
Best regards,
X

Pt 2

Dear X,

Thank you for your message and invitation.
I have no interest in participating in an interview where I am repeatedly informed by the presenter what "Israel says", as if the statements of a government whose claims have consistently proven false are gospel truth.
Nor do I have any interest in participating in a discussion where much if not most of the interview is devoted to the presenter repeating Israeli talking points rather than the guest responding to the presenter's questions.
It is one thing for a presenter to challenge a guest's views and statements, even aggressively so, but quite another for a presenter to consistently serve as a surrogate for a discredited, genocidal government that is known for its serial falsehoods.
Please additionally note that I am unavailable for pre-recorded interviews, given the very real prospect that BBC management will decide not to air it, or that my statements will be edited beyond recognition.
I have in the past cooperated extensively with the BBC, including in its live coverage of major events, and consistently found your journalists and reporters to be of the highest professional standard.
As you are no doubt aware, I am far from alone in my profound dismay at how the BBC's reputation has been wilfully and recklessly trashed by its management in order to make the world safe for genocide.

Best regards,
Mouin

"When will the #BBC conclude that Israel IS violating international law, and shape its coverage around that truth? As the old saying goes, the journalist’s job isn’t to report that it may or may not be raining. It’s to look outside and tell the public if it is."

QUESTIONING THE STATE
STATE DEPARTMENT BRIEFINGS ON PALESTINE, CEASEFIRE, AND BEYOND

Said Arikat Al-Quds Correspondent in Washington DC
Sam Husseini Independent Journalist writing at husseini.substack.com

in Conversation with Bassam Haddad

As the world learns more about Israel’s slaughter in Gaza amid a cautious ceasefire, we host two prominent journalists, Said Arikat and Sam Husseini, who have been in the forefront of “Questioning the State” at Press briefings in the United States. In addition to the horrendous treatment one of our guests (Sam Husseini) received in a recent press conference featuring Secretary Anthony Blinken, we address the road to, potential trade-offs, and the implications of the “ceasefire” under the incoming U.S. administration. We will also address the official position of the United States on the collapse of the Syrian regime and the emerging alternative leadership.

"As #Gaza burned, Yglesias yawned, saying #Biden couldn't stop the bloodbath. The ceasefire deal announced yesterday, which Trump forced on Netanyahu, showed he just didn't care."
