Former #BBC #journalist #KarishmaPatel had been covering #Gaza as a #MiddleEast specialist, for months.

Her views from the inside, on the persistent failure of the BBC:

»To see such overwhelming evidence every day and then hear 50/50 debates on #Israel’s conduct – this is what created the biggest rift between my commitment to truth and the role I had to play as a BBC journalist. We have passed the point at which Israel’s war crimes and crimes against humanity are debatable. There’s more than enough #evidence – from #Palestinians on the ground, aid #organisations; legal bodies – to come to coverage-shaping conclusions around what Israel has done.«

If you work for or have connections to a for-good organisation, we'd love to talk.

By for-good, we mean the news industry, academia, NGOs, governments etc.

We want to help bring these organisations to decentralised social media where they can own their presence.

Please reach out to us here or get in touch with our Foundation Ambassador @FreddieJ
