Israeli comedians ruthlessly mock the BBC’s coverage of the Al-Ahli hospital bombing in Gaza: The satirical show pokes fun at the Beeb with fake journalist “Harry Whiteguilt’s” report – after the broadcaster was criticized for its reporting was criticized about the explosion

Israeli comedians have recklessly mocked the BBC’s coverage of the Al-Ahli hospital bombing in Gaza after the broadcaster was heavily criticized over its coverage of the explosion.

In the satirical broadcast, a fake BBC newsreader said: “Good evening from London, here’s some news from the war in Gaza.”

A BBC News banner read: “Israel bombs hospital.” 500 dead,” the actress continued: “Israel bombed a hospital, killing hundreds of innocent people.”

Then she shook her head and motioned “more, more” to the person behind the camera. The banner’s death count then changed to “750 dead,” with the fake news spokesman stating this was “much better.”

The screen cut mocked BBC Middle East correspondent “Harry Whiteguilt,” who said: “Good evening, Rachael from the illegal colony of Tel Aviv.”

In the satirical broadcast, the fake BBC newsreader said: “Good evening from London, here’s some news from the war in Gaza.”

“Israeli officials have denied the hospital bombing, but we have video footage that shows what actually happened.”

The following footage was a compilation of clips from the hospital explosion – including a paper airplane flying overhead, a scene from the film “Oppenheimer” and a bomb exploding.

The newsreader said: “Absolutely shocking, Harry.” On the screen was a new banner saying “We love Hamas” with the BBC News logo next to it.

“We received this video from Hamas, the most credible non-terrorist organization in the world,” correspondent Harry reported.

“I’m sorry Rachael, I have terrible news.” The US Pentagon says it has evidence that Israel did not bomb the hospital.

Newscaster Rachael looked shocked and quickly backtracked, “What?” Well… I guess it’ll be one of those things we can never be sure about. “For example, the Jews knew about September 11th and didn’t go to work that day,” she said with a wink.

“No, they just released footage of Hamas freedom fighters admitting that they were the ones who accidentally fired the rockets,” correspondent Harry clarified.

The show then played a recording of what they call “Jihad Militant #1” saying, “My God, what a big mistake.” “I fired our rocket at our own hospital.”

Another militant replied: “It’s fine, no big deal.” Maybe we had a few gays there. That’s life. You win something, you lose something.’

Back in the studio, fake BBC journalist Rachael said again: “Well, I guess we’ll never know exactly what happened.”

Another audio clip from “Jihad Militant #1” repeated, “No, no, we did it,” but Rachael still insisted, “It’ll just remain a mystery.”

“Jihad Militant #2” said: “This is not a secret.” We are. Totally us. Only we.’

Both fake BBC employees appeared uneasy until Harry explained: “But it’s still Israel’s fault… because the Israeli blockade prevented Hamas from getting properly functioning rockets and that’s why tragic accidents like this actually happened.”

News anchor Rachael ended her newscast by saying, “Good night everyone and remember: Israel is ISIS.”

This came after the BBC was criticized for its coverage of the explosion and even Israel warned the broadcaster that it could be banned from reporting in the country for refusing to call out Hamas terrorists.

The BBC admitted it was wrong to speculate that the rocket that hit a hospital in Gaza was an “Israeli airstrike”.

A senior Israeli official said the government could take action if the BBC continued to “cross the line in accordance with our laws.” This came after Israel’s President Isaac Herzog described his policy of labeling Hamas as militants as “cruel.”

The Israeli Ministry of Communications is currently examining the possibility of shutting down Al Jazeera’s Qatari local bureau over allegations that its reporting was favorable to Hamas.

The BBC described Hamas as a “militant” group rather than a terrorist group and described the slaughter of civilians as a “militant” attack.

There has long been a policy of only using the term “terrorist” when attributed to another person.

Immediately after the explosion, correspondent Jon Donnison said it was “hard to imagine” what could have happened other than an “Israeli airstrike” at Al-Ahli Hospital.

John Simpson, the world affairs editor, warned that naming Hamas terrorists would be “partisanship” and “it is not the BBC’s job to tell people who to support and who to condemn”.

The BBC has been criticized after a reporter speculated that an “Israeli attack” was responsible for an explosion at a hospital in Gaza that killed hundreds of people.

Immediately after the explosion, correspondent Jon Donnison said it was “hard to imagine” what else could have happened at Al-Ahli Hospital other than an “Israeli airstrike.”

Despite this claim, evidence is mounting that the explosion at Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City was caused by a failed rocket launch by the terrorist group Islamic Jihad.

After heavy criticism, the company released a statement on its website’s Corrections and Clarifications page on October 19, admitting that “it was wrong to speculate in this way.”
