Tempted to send a message to the BBC and everyone from the UK should also.

See how they respond

While I do not dispute the findings of the study, I wish we had this sort of evidence coming from sources that the wider political public would consider to be fully dispassionate and objective. As it is, if I linked to this study in discussions with many people I know, they would discount it out of hand because it came from the Muslim Council of Britain.

I don't see any mention of the Muslim Council of Britain in the article. Is there something I'm missing, or were you using it as a general example for similar reporting

This is from the actual study:

"Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) is a project of the Muslim Council of Britain Charitable Foundation and was established in 2018 to monitor the British media on how it reports on Muslims and Islam."

Thank you for clarifying. With this, I much more understand the point of the person I was initially replying to

Edit: better wording

most of western [institutions] are complicit if not outright support Israel's policy

IDF is operating in Gaza like Waffen SS did on the eastern front, if not more aggressive.

Never again except this one more time here because reasons.

Genuine question; how do you know that? Is there an alternative news outlet that focuses on the Gazan perspective (without the equally bad hyperbole they also seem prone to).

Which part are you asking about?

civilian death toll in Gaza compared to something like a full blown conventional ground war Russia is doing in Ukraine and two countries with population measured in dozens of millions where as israel and gaza population is like 2 million before the war.

serious war crimes are being committed and covered up with contradicting propaganda.

You're making a serious claim about war crimes at a level comparable to the SS. My question was, where are you getting this information from. It would be useful to counter some of the pro Israel media bias we see otherwise.

I just explained to you my reasoning.
