The BBC has failed, UK government should demand full enquiry

 A leaked BBC dossier acknowledges serious editorial failures in BBC Arabic coverage, confirming and overlapping with years of research by the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting & Analysis (CAMERA).

The 19-page internal memo by Michael Prescott, a former adviser to the BBC’s Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee, accuses BBC Arabic of systemic anti-Israel bias, platforming extremist voices, and amplifying Hamas propaganda. The memo was reported by The Telegraph yesterday.

Prescott’s findings mirror and expand upon documentation first publicly exposed by CAMERA UK and CAMERA Arabic researchers throughout the two years that followed October 7, 2023. See full report at https://www.camera.org/article/press-release-cameras-complaints-of-bbc-bias-vindicated-by-bombshell-dossier/

These new revelations follow calls by Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch MP for wholesale reform of BBC Arabic after the publication of CAMERA’s widely-read March 2025 report examining the network’s promotion of extremist voices, whitewashing of violence against Israelis, and failure to enforce editorial standards over the past 5 years.

We are satisfied that people close to the BBC seem to be paying attention to our criticism and hope this will lead to real change in the corporation’s coverage of Israel and the Middle East after decades of failures, but it would be unwise to get our hopes up just yet.”

The mounting body of evidence against BBC Arabic is something we have been warning the BBC about for years, but management repeatedly chose to ignore it. They have failed to act against journalists who publicly celebrated the October 7 attacks and even assigned some of these individuals to cover Israel and Gaza.

CAMERA calls on the BBC Board to launch a full and transparent inquiry and to ensure that the BBC’s international services finally meet the impartiality standards required of a publicly funded broadcaster. We also call on the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, which co-funds BBC Arabic, to do likewise. 

Israel to Manufacture its Own Aircraft Engines?

 ( With thanks to imra.org.il  )

With the success of the Muslim Brotherhood getting their candidate for the New York mayor elected, many analysts are suggesting that after Trump, the White House could very well be occupied in the future by Democratic leaders who opt to use their authority to initiate an arms boycott against the Jewish State. 

We Israelis cannot plan our future based on best case assumptions. 

As we race to develop supply boycott resistant military capabilities it is imperative that this portfolio includes jet engines for Israeli made airframes.

And while Beit Shemesh Engines Ltd. (BSEL)  is world class for engine parts manufacture, we don't need to do this alone. 

India would be a natural partner.

We could collaborate in an arrangement which shares the costs of R&D and tooling with India ultimately manufacturing the bulk of the engines (and thus bearing most of the costs)  while BSEL also makes complete engines in Israel.

That way if for some unforeseen reason in the future, India boycott us, we can rely on our in-house production. 

This isn't going to be easy. We can very well appreciate that the shift to "Made In Israel" while we still benefit from American largess in the form of US funded "Made in the USA" equipment is difficult.

But we cannot afford to ignore the very real potential changes which may take place in America in the years to come.

How Hamas Uses Disinformation to Deceive the World

Europe has Fallen, USA not Far Behind

 The Muslim Brotherhood is no longer just a Middle East threat;

it’s Europe’s nightmare and America’s next invasion.

Riots. No-go zones. Anti-Semitic terror. Political infiltration.

The Brotherhood’s goal is simple: replace Western

democracy with Islamic rule, and they’re closer than you think.

How Hamas's Disinformation Deceived the International Media

Palestinian Pulls Wool over European Eyes, ‘Pay-for-slay’ policy not over.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas had signed a decree in February canceling the program, an announcement which was met with widespread European approval.

However, The PA paid stipends to security prisoners and to families of “martyrs” at PA post offices on Saturday morning, despite publicly claiming to have ended the practice, according to a new report by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) director Itamar Marcus on Sunday.

“Yesterday, Saturday, Oct. 25, at 10:00 a.m., the PA Post Offices paid terrorists’ salaries and stipends to families of terrorist ‘Martyrs,’” Marcus wrote, adding that there was “no official announcement” and that payments were delayed so “everyone, even the terrorists’ families, would think that the program had ended.”

PMW published screenshots of social media conversations among recipients discussing the amounts deposited, including one exchange stating, “50% of the salaries and [those making less than 2,000 received] the full amount. FYI, the salary is for June.” PMW said the percentage matched the partial salaries the PA paid civil servants earlier this month due to its fiscal crisis.24:15

/The watchdog outlined a two-week timeline in which families of prisoners and those killed in attacks pressed the PA for updates, held small demonstrations in Ramallah on October 20, and were told informally by post-office staff that payments would be made on Saturday without an official statement. On the morning of October 25, local Telegram channels began reporting that “the salaries of the prisoners, the wounded, and the Martyrs have arrived at the post office,” and PMW said that payments proceeded “as usual” through the day.

PMW argued that the PA could not announce the transfers because it had assured donors it had ended so-called “pay for slay.” PA President Abbas signed a decree in February revoking the system of payments to families of prisoners and those killed or wounded in attacks, according to multiple reports at the time.

Europe 'welcomes the reforms'

European officials later welcomed what they described as reforms. In a September 25 communiqué, the French Foreign Ministry said, “We welcome the reforms already underway by the Palestinian Authority, including: the abrogation of the prisoners’ payment system, that is now effective.”

Yet again the PA manages to pull the wool over the eyes of the international community.

Hamas Pallywood Productions Produce a Body

 Hamas clearly staged a body “recovery” in Gaza yesterday: Eyewitness accounts from IDF reservists stationed in eastern Gaza City said Hamas operatives were seen digging in the area, then bringing a body from a nearby building, and burying it in a shallow pit. The group then reportedly called the Red Cross to observe as they “uncovered” the body, attempting to portray it as a genuine recovery.

Army Radio reported that the entire sequence was filmed by an Israeli military drone, though the IDF has not yet commented on the incident. Later that night, Hamas handed the body to the Red Cross, which transferred it to IDF troops in Gaza. The body was then taken to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv for identification.

 After a dramatic night, Israeli authorities now believe that the body transferred by Hamas does not belong to one of the 13 fallen soldiers whose remains are still missing. The identification process continued under strict forensic review. When a body, belonging to Ofir Tzarfati, 27, was first recovered from Gaza, some remains were missing. Hamas has now handed over additional remains belonging to Ofir under the guise of them belonging to one of the 13 dead hostages still in Gaza.

When will President Trump realise that Hamas is making a mockery of the “ceasefire” deal.
