CAMERA Arabic

As theJewish Chronicle(JC)revealedlast weekend – based on CAMERA’s research – a BBC Arabicsegmentabout cultural life in Gaza featured two contributors, presented as the “chairman” of a public library and an “author”, who have expressed antisemitic and pro-violence views on their social media accounts.

In recent years, one of the most common ways for BBC Arabic editors to keep their audience inside the echo chamber of Palestinian propaganda has been the service’s cultural programs. From folk music to wildlife, equestrianism to local cuisine, human interest items emerge as an easy method of introducing hateful or violent perspectives, without the need to balance them with alternative views from the Israeli side.

Khaled Gharabli, the France 24 Arabic international affairs analyst notorious for routinely misplacing all semblance of impartiality and accuracy when it comes to Israel, has been notably absent from the French public broadcaster for the last two months. His disappearance, together with the unusual removal of his author page, indicate that he no longer works for the French public broadcaster.
