The new BBC chairman, Samir Shah, says he intends to examine the editorial line in coverage of the war between Israel and Hamas.
Good god, this is blood libel from the BBC.
The IDF said it entered the hospital *with* its own medical teams and Arabic speakers, so it can help people.
BBC reports the IDF is *targeting* medical teams and Arabic speakers.

Shah, a former head of political news at the British Broadcasting Corporation, said he was aware of criticism of the BBC. "There is more than enough criticism of the way the BBC covers the war," Shah said. "The BBC periodically reviews editorial guidelines, and it seems to me that recent issues should be part of the review."
"It is not enough to respond that 'if both sides criticize us, we are doing something right.' It may sound good, but the ambition of a BBC journalist should be that neither side criticizes us and everyone thinks we're doing a good job."
Shah added that the BBC should carefully examine the refusal to call Hamas "terrorists." "Using the term 'prohibited terrorist organization' sounds cumbersome to me and doesn't sound like the natural speech of a reporter."
Since Israel began bombing Gaza following Hamas' monstrous terrorist attack, the BBC has adopted a considerable pro-Palestinian bias. This is reflected not only in the coverage, but also in serious errors in the broadcast – such as the report that soldiers entered Shifa Hospital harming medical teams and Arabic speakers. The report was a complete distortion of the IDF Spokesperson's statement, according to which Israel brought Arabic-speaking soldiers and IDF medical teams into the hospital in order to act sensitively and in coordination with the hospital.
