Our protest outside the BBC in London is drawing to an end. We have submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act asking whether any payments made by the BBC in relation to its ‘Gaza How to Survive a War Zone’ so-called documentary went to Hamas or those associated with it. It is time for transparency, and resignations. The BBC must stop being allowed to mark its own homework. Currently the BBC reviews complaints about its coverage and appeals of those complaints, and only further appeals go to Ofcom. This is unique, as complaints regarding all other broadcasters go directly to Ofcom. It is time to bring regulation of the BBC into line with other broadcasters. Recent events have not occurred in a vacuum. For sixteen months, we have watched our national broadcaster provide ever more sympathetic coverage to a proscribed terrorist organisation, and that follows decades of biased coverage. It is time for a full and independent inquiry into the BBC’s coverage of the Jewish state. https://antisemitism.org/protesters-tell-the-bbc-stop-whitewashing-terrorism/ Get the latest updates from CAA via our WhatsApp channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDa5E2HrDZgD8KtqU1l ☑️

Broadcaster and comedian Josh Howie has just declared on stage that he will no longer be paying his license fee. “Jews and non-Jews are here together to tell the BBC we’ve had enough. Together we declare: ‘No to a licence of hate’.” It says something about the strength of feeling in the Jewish community that Josh – and he isn’t alone – is prepared to risk penalties by announcing his refusal to pay the licence fee. *The BBC still needs to come clean about whether any of the reported £400,000 of licence-fee funds that were used to make the so-called documentary went to Hamas operatives.* Get the latest updates from CAA via our WhatsApp channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDa5E2HrDZgD8KtqU1l ☑️

Nick Timothy MP asks the Culture Secretary: “If there is evidence of BBC funds reaching a proscribed terrorist organisation, will she join me in saying that there should be a full criminal investigation?” We join Mr Timothy’s call on the Culture Secretary for a full investigation. Did licence-fee funds go to Hamas terrorists? The public has a right to know. _Get the latest updates from CAA via our WhatsApp channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDa5E2HrDZgD8KtqU1l ☑️_

This event at LSE is an outrageous apology for terror. This book’s synopsis describes Hamas as ‘a widely misunderstood movement’ and says that ‘the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has been subjected to intense vilification.’ Perhaps that is because it capped decades of lethal suicide bombings with the massacre of 1,200 and the abduction of some 250 people. Is such conduct not worthy of ‘vilification’? This appears to be an outrageous attempt to whitewash Hamas’ barbaric acts of horror. For all their virtuous anti-racism rhetoric, our universities have become epicentres of Jew-hatred and this event is yet another example of how bad the problem is. We are writing to LSE, which must cancel this propaganda event immediately. _Get the latest updates from CAA via our WhatsApp channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDa5E2HrDZgD8KtqU1l ☑️_

David Collier is now addressing the crowd. “Last Monday night, the BBC aired a Hamas propaganda documentary. Four days later they took it down. “But let us be clear about one key point: “They did not take it down because it was raw Hamas propaganda. “They did not take it down because it was full of distortion and lies. “They did not even take it down because it featured continuity issues and children reading from their Hamas written scripts. “All of those issues may be true – but the key point is this: The only reason the BBC took down its documentary is because they were caught and this time – they had no excuses to hide behind.” Forthright opinion from the independent researcher who exposed the BBC in his investigation into the so-called documentary. Judging by the reaction, the crowd seems to agree. Get the latest updates from CAA via our WhatsApp channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDa5E2HrDZgD8KtqU1l ☑️

At last night’s protest at BBC Broadcasting House, broadcaster and comedian Josh Howie announced on stage that he will no longer pay the BBC licence fee. The crowd echoed his sentiment, breaking into a chant: “Hey, hey BBC, we won’t pay our licence fee!” If you’re thinking of doing the same, we would be interested in hearing from you.

The High Court in London has this week ruled on the meaning of Roger Waters’ statement about John Ware, the producer of our documentary, The Dark Side of Roger Waters. We welcome this judgment on the meaning of Roger Waters’ attack on John Ware, which questioned Mr Waters’ history of inflammatory conduct towards Jewish people. The Judge held that accusing someone alleging antisemitism as being a ‘cheerleader for genocide’ is making a defamatory claim which he either has to put up or shut up about. We have every confidence that there are no bricks in this particular wall. Mr Waters said that his late mother told him to read around the subject; maybe he should start by reading the judgment. https://antisemitism.org/high-court-rules-on-meaning-of-roger-waters-statement-about-producer-of-our-documentary-john-ware/ _Get the latest updates from CAA via our WhatsApp channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDa5E2HrDZgD8KtqU1l ☑️_

After a minute’s silence in memory of those slaughtered by Hamas on 7th October and in the sixteen months since, we now have the honour of hearing from Michael Marlowe. Michael’s beloved son Jake was among the 1,200 murdered by the antisemitic terrorists that day. “For decades, the BBC stood as the bastion of honest and trustworthy reporting. It was the world’s first port of call for global and national news, respected for its integrity and neutrality. “But that BBC is long gone.” Get the latest updates from CAA via our WhatsApp channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDa5E2HrDZgD8KtqU1l ☑️

“The BBC has become a mouthpiece for terror. It cannot call terrorism by its name. The BBC has become a spokesperson for terrorists.” So says Gideon Falter, Chief Executive of CAA at the protest outside the BBC. The last week’s events have not occurred in a vacuum. For sixteen months, we have watched our national broadcaster provide ever more sympathetic coverage to a proscribed terrorist organisation. Our polling shows the overwhelming majority — 92% — of British Jews believe media bias against Israel fuels antisemitism, and look on the BBC’s coverage disfavourably (worst among broadcasters). *We need a full inquiry into the BBC’s bias in its coverage of the Jewish state.* Get the latest updates from CAA via our WhatsApp channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDa5E2HrDZgD8KtqU1l ☑️
