From 7th October 2023, it's been clear that media coverage about Palestinians has been defined by racism: that their lives are considered to have little value.
That's not simply an assertion. A detailed study has gone through the BBC's coverage in depth - and it has exposed the undeniable fact that there is proportionately far less coverage of Palestinians being killed than Israelis, and that far less humanising language is being used per violent death.
This isn't simply a moral affront - this racist coverage is crucial to making sure that one of the great crimes of our time is not being stopped.
