Israeli Satire Show Absolutely Destroys The BBC Over Soft Handling Of Hamas Terrorists

[Ubiquitous]

An Israeli satire show brutally mocked the British Broadcasting Corporation
(BBC) in a recent sketch, painting the media outlet as overly eager to
accommodate Hamas’ talking points.

The primetime sketch comedy show “Eretz Nehederet” (translated: “wonderful
country”) aired the clip, in which a BBC presenter was interviewing a Hamas
leader about the terror group’s horrific October 7 attacks on Israeli
civilians and the war that has been ongoing since that day.

A satire show in Israel deservedly mocks the BBC again and the
disingenuous calls for ceasefire. Wait until the end, it’s worth it.

The presenter, introduced only as Rachel, began by introducing her guest: “39
days after Hamas freedom fighters peacefully attacked Israel, we have now an
exclusive interview with its leader Yahya Sinwar.”

Sinwar quickly interrupted her to point out that, in addition to the “freedom
fighters,” Hamas had deployed a number of “freedom rapists” as well.

“Of course. I apologize. Mr. Sinwar, I understand you are now working toward
a ceasefire,” the presenter continued.

Sinwar interrupted again, this time singing to the tune of John Lennon’s
“Give Peace a Chance,” “All we are saying, is give ceasefire a chance.”

Sinwar went on to lament the situation in Gaza, complaining that the
civilians had begun to flee the region — which was problematic because it
left Hamas terrorists without the human shields to which they had become
accustomed.

“So unfair. And our hospitals, Rachel, our schools, all ran out of rockets.
How are we supposed to kill Jews like this? I mean, with lectures. … I plead
to the world, we need a cease-fire,” Sinwar continued. “We are tired, we need
a break. Don’t forget, we started a day earlier than the Israelis.”

Rachel agreed that the situation was, indeed, unfair — but then the interview
was interrupted by a baby crying. Sinwar explained that he had not had any
luck quieting the infant because the child’s mother had been left behind in
Israel — and further complained that the baby was up at all hours of the
night, depriving him of sleep.

“There is an Israeli baby that’s torturing you by sleep deprivation?
Occupying your home?” Rachel asked. “So unfair. So unfair. And the world does
absolutely nothing about it. I really hope you get your ceasefire soon.”

The final scene pivoted to a historical snapshot of how the BBC might have
assessed a similar situation during World War II: “On this day in 1944,
heartless Winston Churchill refused a ceasefire and continued the genocidal
attack on Nazi Germany.”

The presenter went on to claim that, since more German civilians than British
had died in that war, the obvious conclusion was that the British must have
been war criminals.

The criticism comes in part because the BBC has steadfastly refused to use
the term “terrorists” in reference to Hamas — despite the fact that the
government of United Kingdom has labeled the group as a terrorist
organization since 2021.

“Terrorism is a loaded word, which people use about an outfit they disapprove
of morally. It’s simply not the BBC’s job to tell people who to support and
who to condemn – who are the good guys and who are the bad guys,” BBC World
Affairs editor John Simpson said on October 11, by way of explanation.

It was a great bit of satire and nailed the situation precisely, in my
view, particularly the way the media is taking the Palestinian line as
unquestionable and virtually ignoring the Palestinian
slaughter/rape/kidnapping fest that provoked the Israeli response.
