‘BBC shame on you’- Demonstrations take place against the BBC’s coverage of Gaza and Israel
‘Approximately 5,000 protesters gathered outside the British Broadcasting Corporation’s (BBC) studios on Tuesday to protest the news outlets coverage of the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel. The demonstrators chanted ‘BBC shame on you’.
Protestors accuse the BBC of showing bias towards Israel in its broadcasting. The corporation has, however, also received complaints that it favors the Palestinians.
Similar demonstrations took place in the UK cities of Newcastle, Manchester and Liverpool.’
