Online campaign slams BBC's 'biased' Palestine coverage

LONDON

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has come under criticism with an online campaign over its coverage of Israel’s aggravation against Palestinians.

The campaign by the NGO “The Friends of Al Aqsa” (FOA) -- launched on Twitter with the hashtag #BBsee -- has asked the BBC a series of questions about the news organization's “biased” coverage from the region.

"Why do you highlight Israeli injuries and ignore the killing of Palestinian children, youth and women?" was one of the questions of the campaign, which quickly became a trending topic on the social media platform.

Campaigners asked, “Israeli forces killed 57 Palestinians and injured more than 2000! Why aren’t you reporting this?” and “There is concrete video evidence of Israelis beating innocent Palestinians, why don’t you show it #BBSee?”
