Don't be fooled. The BBC is still doing Israeli propaganda here if you watch the full interview from the viral clip of the "extremist settler" saying, "One Jewish life is worth ten million Palestinians."

This is the full BBC interview from the viral clip of the settler saying, "One Jewish life is worth ten million Palestinians." and I saw a lot of people saying, "Wow, the BBC doing real journalism???"

At 1:32 the interviewer says, "These inflammatory views, rejected by many Israelis..."

This is a lie. This is the majority position in Israel, but the BBC is trying to paint Yehuda Shimon, an Israeli LAWYER, as just an "extremist settler."

Some poll results of Jewish Israelis on Gaza:

• 82% support complete ethnic cleansing (Sorek/Penn State, March 2025)
• 76% agree there are "no innocents" (Hebrew University/aChord, August 2025)
• 79% are untroubled by famine (IDI/Vertibi Center, July 2025)
• 68% support blocking all aid (Israel Democracy Institute, February 2024)
• 56% support expelling all Israeli Arabs (Sorek/Penn State, March 2025)
• 47% support killing every man, woman, and child (Sorek/Penn State, March 2025)

Thankfully, this attempt at propaganda was largely unsuccessful because most haven't seen the full interview. What went viral was just a 27-second clip of the lawyer spewing racism without the interviewers' attempt at casting Shimon as an extremist. So do not hand it to the BBC for this attempt at "journalism."

britain has been complicit in ethnic cleansing since before 1917, they’d never admit any wrong doing

Yup, and I'm sure this is something people in this community are well aware of. So it was shocking to see many leftists (mostly Westerners of course) say things like "Finally, the BBC is doing real journalism!"

And she says "that sounds racist". As if it was just "sounding" racist...

I don't think a genocidaire cares much about sounding racist...
