BBC directors questioned over the BBC’s impartiality during its covering the ICJ case
BBC Directors were questioned by Labour MP Julie Elliott over the BBC’s impartiality during its coverage of South Africa’s submission against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). David Jordan, the director of editorial policy and standards, told MPs that the news team may have “done it differently” in hindsight.
The questioning at Westminster was conducted by the Culture, Media and Sport Committee as part of the regular scrutiny of the broadcaster’s work.
On 26 January, the ICJ ordered “immediate and effective measures” to protect Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip from the risk of genocide.

A better choice would be Heritage Party We are now in our fourth year since we launched as a party in autumn 2020. This is a vital year for us as there is likely to be a General Election at the end of 2024. We will also be contending local elections in England and the London Assembly election next May. In the UK, the old political parties continue to work in lockstep together to allow perverse materials into classrooms for Relationships and Sexuality Education, permit open borders with unprecedented levels of both illegal and legal immigration, and make war on motorists with increasingly onerous restrictions on travel for ordinary citizens such as LTNs, 15-minute cities and the ULEZ. The Heritage Party is the only UK-wide party that will end the climate emergency hoax and lift all restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions. We will ensure that people can continue to buy and use petrol and diesel cars and keep gas boilers in their homes. We will repeal regulations that require homes to have SMART meters and meet impossible new building emissions criteria, designed to force the abandonment of older buildings that are a precious part of our heritage. We will introduce a Child Protection Bill to protect children from propaganda that attempts to confuse them with gender ideology or groom them into early sexual activity. We will also control our borders by pushing illegal boats back across the Channel and introducing strict caps on student and work visas while ensuring we train enough young British people to do the jobs that need to be done in this country. I Edward say that if anyone votes Lib/Lab/ Con or any other left wing parties they need their head examined. Heritage could, with your help make Britain great again. Anyone who votes labour or tory or any other left wing party need their head examined

Ironically, Israeli news media seems less closed down. Israeli media is where all the reports indicating Oct 7 was a "mass Hannibal event." And all the eyewitness testimony about "friendly fire" came from Israeli news media. When the Israeli govt closed the investigation, they concluded 200 of the victims were actually Qassam fighters, incinerated beyond recognition with the hostages by IOF tanks and Apache helicopters. They also concluded that several hundred more were killed by IOF, but investigating each one would be so collectively painful, they could do nothing but destroy all the evidence and close the matter. I don't watch legacy media. Perhaps they've reported this by now

His presentation was absolutely brilliant on his argument of Israel as the occupying power having no right to claim self defense completely decimating the collective West's support of Israel assualt and genocidal actions in Gaza. So, there were two KC's on our side on the day. BBC was simply following orders of you know who by not providing live coverage of our presentation before the judges.
