Remember when the liberals in Congress and elsewhere were engaged in spittle-spraying fits of rage over the defunding of NPR and PBS, the closest thing the United States has to government-run media? Well, across the pond, in the once-Great Britain, they have heavily government-dominated media; it’s called the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and it operates under a royal charter. The Beeb, as our British cousins call it, is hardly a bastion of impartiality.
But on Sunday, they released a sob story about a Gazan woman, flown to Italy for medical treatment, describing her as “malnourished.” But there’s a catch; she didn’t die of malnutrition. The BBC buried the catch in the fourth paragraph.
A Gazan woman who was evacuated to Italy for treatment while severely emaciated has died in hospital.
The 20-year-old, identified as Marah Abu Zuhri, flew to Pisa with her mother on an overnight flight on Wednesday under a scheme set up by the Italian government.
The University Hospital of Pisa said she suffered a cardiac arrest and died on Friday, less than 48 hours after arriving. It said she had a “very complex clinical picture” and had suffered severe loss of weight and muscle. Italian news agencies reported she was suffering from severe malnutrition.
Now, granted, that’s sad. This woman, a girl, really, died at age 20, and that’s a tragic thing. Nobody that young should die. But she didn’t die of malnutrition. She had something else wrong, something that often results in severe loss of weight and muscle.
Cogat, the Israeli military body in charge of aid, said on Sunday that she had suffered from leukaemia.
Yes, that’s right. The cause of death was not officially announced, but leukemia was, at a minimum, a contributing factor – one the BBC doesn’t see fit to mention until the fourth paragraph. That’s journalistic malpractice, nothing but.

This whole situation in Gaza, of course, could be ended in a day. Hamas can end this any time they like. All they have to do is return all hostages, lay down their weapons, and surrender. Oh, any Hamas members connected to the Oct 7th, 2023, attacks on Israel would have, and should have, a severe price to pay. But we should note that the Israel Defense Forces have already been extracting that price in the form of un-alived Hamas fighters for some time now, and that bill will come due for every last Hamas member one way or another.
What’s happening in Gaza is horrible. Hamas, we should note, is intercepting much of the foreign humanitarian aid that is arriving in Gaza. If Hamas were out of the picture, all of Gaza’s problems would be swept away. And as for the flood of refugees out of Gaza – why have none of the neighboring Arab nations stepped up to take these people in?
The situation remains as it has been for some time: There will be no peace in Gaza until Hamas is no longer a factor. It’s a shame that the BBC not only won’t recognize that, but appears to be actively misleading people about what’s really going on in Gaza.
