More from the BBC "In another case, the BBC is accused of failing to respond to a complaint about a BBC Arabic program that raised questions about whether the Hamas massacre at Kfar Aza kibbutz had really taken place." Calls for inquiry as BBC fails to investigate complaints of anti-Israel bias It has now called for a parliamentary inquiry to hold the BBC “responsible for basic standards of accuracy and impartiality”. The call has been backed by Conservative peer Lord Polak, who told The Telegraph: “There needs to be a wide-ranging independent inquiry into the BBC’s coverage of the Israeli-Hamas conflict and their handling of complaints about it. “If they keep getting it wrong it suggests there is a fundamental issue with the BBC, with the possibility that the views of individuals within the organisation are more important than their own Charter’s requirement for impartiality.” https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01/27/bbc-fail-investigate-complaint-anti-israel-bias/ https://archive.ph/cg5CT

Over 30% of a BBC report supposedly about the rescue of hostages from Rafah was used to amplify “warnings from the international community". BBC NEWS WEBSITE COVERAGE OF RAFAH HOSTAGE RESCUE https://camera-uk.org/2024/02/15/bbc-news-website-coverage-of-rafah-hostage-rescue/

Dig as deep as you want to confirm your bias. Thanks I will, the rest of your post is just you polishing a crystal ball and ignoring the reason for this, the families taking the action for their benefit, perhaps they do not find it as toothless as you seem to.

yea whatever read the statement and links all together, that was just the first link, one of many

I don't care, it's published by a reputable organization that has taken evidence from reputable organizations. It has a reputable board of directors and staff. I classify it as reputable along with my own opinion that agrees with it based on available evidence. I wish you well in your investigation to discover the names.

It's a factual piece actually and also carried by multiple international media outlets, one of which the Washington Post I linked to on a reply to you.... You will also keep finding my one-sided view on this topic remains the same, it is about the hostages and families of those hostages. Or as you call it "waffle"

Ok and?

Yes and? The statement on genocide and war crimes by Hamas that you were so concerned about having the names was not exactly rocket science was it? After all they provided verified links to all the evidence, here's their first one, and numerous others. Israel/Palestine: Videos of Hamas-Led Attacks Verified https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/10/18/israel/palestine-videos-hamas-led-attacks-verified

No can you? Maybe try the about us page, plenty of names there

Yes of course you do that's why you protest so much calling my posts flannel in one of waffle in another. That this was out of their jurisdiction first, then that Khan was not investigating in another.

Yes that's why he went there on that occasion. As you know from other links he is also investigating and receiving more evidence from families as we speak. I know you'd rather this wasn't happening but it is.

Waffle? to support the families in justice? Another that seems they'd rather not get this. This is not about Palestinian families. As in the links I provided that is a different case and in a different topic so if you want my views yet again on those go back there.

STATEMENT OF SCHOLARS OF HOLOCAUST STUDIES AND OF GENOCIDE STUDIES AND PREVENTION: Declaring the Atrocities Committed by Hamas Against Israeli Civilians as Crimes Against Humanity, War Crimes and Genocide Recognizing, that on October 7, 2023, in tandem with massive rocket attacks on dozens of Israeli cities and villages, more than 1,500 armed Hamas militants illegally broke through the southern Israeli border with Gaza. They committed genocidal massacres of more than 1,400 Israeli civilians, ambushing them on the streets of their villages, breaking into their houses, and butchering them in the most cruel and vicious ways. Families hiding in their houses were murdered, including men, women, children, babies, and the elderly. The attackers set civilians' houses on fire, burning the inhabitants alive. They mutilated and burned the bodies of murdered Israelis. They raped Israeli women; https://www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/holocaust-genocide-scholars-condemn-oct-7-hamas-massacre

Not bad going for a few hours work. 1,200 innocent people. Just imagine if they had succeeded in their aims and had a few days there.

Yes, I know but it has more enforcement than the ICJ in terms of international arrest warrants, you may have noticed that Hamas leaders tend not to be in Gaza & Israel is doing its best to apprehend those that are left there. Besides this, the objective of this is justice for the families and their right to have a case heard. Sounds like you'd prefer they wouldn't have this right? Why would that be?

Why, that is not from the ICC, I gave you a direct link to the ICC and what the chief prosecutor Karim Khan is doing on this case and has indeed been investigating for the last 2 years. I am sure the multiple lawyers who have traveled to the Hague on Wednesday with all their evidence to hand over to Karim Khan will have been up to speed with the actual law regarding this. More from Khan and his investigations which also include against Israel. Khan said his probe “is being taken forward as a matter of the utmost urgency, with a view to bringing to justice those responsible” for crimes falling under the court’s founding treaty, the Rome Statute. He also called for “the immediate release of all hostages. This also represents an important focus of our investigations.” https://archive.ph/aRwcV https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/02/14/israel-palestinians-hostages-hamas-icc/c4afedec-cb22-11ee-aa8e-1e5794a4b2d6_story.html

The act of genocide does not mean you have to wipe out everyone, it means you have the intent to.

Plenty of evidence that you ignore that the IDF do exactly that which you claim they dont. The iDF, however, with their indiscriminate bombings in Gaza, has also shown they do not distinguish Memo to the 'Experts': Stop Comparing Israel's War in Gaza to Anything. It Has No Precedent | Opinion The truth is that Israel has painstakingly followed the laws of armed conflict and implemented many steps to prevent civilian casualties, despite enormous challenges. Israel's military faced over 30,000 Hamas militants in over 400 miles of defensive and offensive tunnels embedded in and under civilian areas, populations and protected sites such as hospitals, mosques, schools, and United Nations facilities across multiple cities. Hamas' strategy is to use Palestinian civilians as human shields, because their goal is not to defeat Israel's military or to hold terrain; it is far more sinister and medieval—to use the death and suffering of Palestinian civilians to rally international support to their cause and demand that Israel halt their war. https://www.newsweek.com/memo-experts-stop-comparing-israels-war-gaza-anything-it-has-no-precedent-opinion-1868891

Check again: And one can't watch videos of innocent Israelis being hunted down on a Saturday morning at a party and not pause to think for a moment at the hatred and the cruelty that underpinned those attacks. These acts that we saw on the 7th of October are not acts that accord with our humanity. They are acts that are repugnant to any person that believes in God. They're the most un-Islamic acts and cannot be committed in the name of a religion whose very name is peace. As I stated five days after the attacks that took place on the 7th of October, we have jurisdiction over crimes committed by the nationals of state parties. And therefore that jurisdiction continues over any Rome Statute crimes committed by Palestinian nationals or the nationals of any state parties on Israeli territory, if that is proven. And whilst Israel is not a member of the ICC, I stand ready to work with state parties and non-state parties alike in pursuit of accountability. My primary and indeed my only objective must be to achieve justice for the victims and to uphold my own solemn declaration under the Rome Statute as an independent prosecutor, impartially looking at the evidence and vindicating the rights of victims whether they are in Israel or Palestine. https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-icc-prosecutor-karim-khan-kc-cairo-situation-state-palestine-and-israel

That's a ridiculous position to take, Oct 7th was a genocidal act whether it could finish the job or not. Their repeated statements that they will do it again and again are further proof.

You fail to see intent in actions. Hamas has intend when it murders and carries out its atrocities. It is proud of those actions to the point that it broadcasts them worldwide. Israel is defending itself from Hamas the terrorists, it wants to wipe out Hamas not civilians. Hamas makes no such distinction and you know it.

Another one who can't tell the difference between ICJ and ICC. You do realize that the Chief Prosecutor of ICC has already visited Israel in regards to this? Nov 30 (Reuters) - International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan is visiting Israel at the request of Israeli survivors and the families of victims of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks from Gaza, the court said on Thursday. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/icc-prosecutor-visit-israel-request-oct-7-hamas-attack-victims-2023-11-30/

Hamas are terrorists intend on genocidal acts on Israel, they will not stop until they are crushed. Taking hostages, murdering them, abusing and raping them should show you the animals that Israel is dealing with here. You talk of the hostages as bargaining chips. Back to your fiction book writing. This is reality.

I take it you've got a problem reading the OP. They have taken the case to the ICC, not the ICJ. The ICC can issue arrest warrants for the leaders of Hamas. Yes, I'm sure sitting on the naughty step is all you'd wish for.

Horrific While you are reading this, 134 hostages are being held captive in Gaza in horrific conditions. They are being starved. Emotionally and physically abused. Denied medical care. For 134 men, women, children and their families, time has stood still since October 7th. Every minute counts.
