BBC's refusal to properly describe Hamas stems from its institutional anti-Israel bias
Beeb's bias
EVEN after a run of avoidable scandals, senior BBC execs still don't get it.
Yesterday they were dancing on the head of a pin over accepted editorial breaches in its Gaza documentary.

Viewers weren't told of any links between a 13-year-old Palestinian child narrator and his Hamas father.
But in a video to all staff, the BBC claims the dad was only a member of the 'political wing'.
Except it is British government policy that no such distinction exists.
And to normal people outside Auntie's bubble, Hamas members are ALL terrorists.
The BBC's refusal to properly describe those responsible for the October 7 massacre stems from its seemingly unending institutional anti-Israel bias.
Viewers deserve the truth, not squirming excuses.
Prevent what?
THE Government's anti-terror Prevent strategy already focuses too much on tackling far-right terrorism — despite Islamists posing a greater threat.
Now a report says it is also failing to deal with suspects fixated on violence because their views don't fit into any recognised terror ideology.

Southport monster Axel Rudakubana had repeatedly searched online for shootings, terror attacks and Gaza war videos.
But despite three referrals, Prevent did nothing because he wasn't deemed a terrorist.
Three little girls died.
Ali Harbi Ali, who murdered MP David Amess, was let go after one session and described as a 'great person.'
Those obsessed with extreme violence shouldn't need an ideological label attached to them before they're stopped.
The clue to Prevent's role is in its name.
Keep It Down
WE hope the Chancellor took note of the fact that the painful inflation spike was caused in part by rising fuel prices.
It's why Rachel Reeves should rule out any idea of ending the fuel duty freeze.
That would only clobber the hard-working people the Government insists it wants to protect.
The Sun's 15-year Keep It Down campaign has saved Brits almost £100billion which has been ploughed back into the economy by grateful motorists.
Helping drivers also helps to drive growth, Chancellor.
Whip round
WE welcome Keir Starmer getting tough and suspending self-indulgent leftie MP s.
It's just a pity he didn't act before their fantasy student politics derailed welfare reforms and cost the country £5billion.
That dithering means we all now face paying more tax.
