Zionist BBC to probe staff social media use after reporter ‘liked’ anti-Israel posts

The BBC is set to investigate staff social media use after a reporter “liked” posts slamming Israel as a “genocidal” regime and supporting Palestinians’ right to resist the Israeli occupation.

The BBC said it treats breach of its social media guidelines, which require strict impartiality from staff, extremely seriously, and will “investigate each case in detail.”

“As we have said previously, we take allegations of breaches of our social media guidance very seriously and we took urgent action to investigate each case in detail,” a spokesman for the broadcaster said.

“We do not comment on individual staff matters, however, if we find breaches we take the appropriate action.”

It came as the BBC Arabic reporter Soha Ibrahim “liked” a string of posts on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, including a post immediately after the October 7 Operation Al-Aqsa Storm which likened members of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas to “freedom fighters.”

She also liked a video that said Israel was aiming to carry out “massacres”, as well as several posts saying Israel was carrying out a “genocide”.

Among the posts that she liked was one from Jeremy Corbyn defending pro-Palestine rallies taking place across the UK, in which the former Labor leader stated, “Protesting against the mass slaughter of civilians is not a threat to democracy.”

The London-based journalist even liked a post that decried her own employer, the BBC, for not properly covering the aggression on Gaza.
