Fine podcast stopped.

Fine enough podcast about the Conflict in Gaza. Then they stopped updating. There will either be no middle or no end to this story they began telling.
RIP unbiased BBC

Is journalistic integrity even a thing at the BBC anymore or are there so many Hamas apologist BBC employees that we’ll never see a non ultra left BBC ever again? Incredibly sad and disappointing. Shame on you BBC. You have let the world down, yes, but more importantly you have absolutely abandoned the British people.
Well done

This is a heated topic and either side will be frustrated when the narrative doesn’t quite go their way. BBC strives to tell the story in its entirety. Some episodes lean in one direction but its clear no specific “side” is favored. Its not biased towards hamas or Israel thats a ridiculous claim. Pro Israel supporters want to push a one sided narrative that doesn’t have any Palestinian consideration. I see they have paraded through the comments.
Bias!

The people of BBC are either stupid enough to believe hamas propaganda, or hate israel. Obviously, the innocents in Palestine don’t deserve to be in the middle of this conflict, but the podcast only talking about how horrible israel is.
Smart, compassionate
12/10/2023
Nuanced, compassionate coverage of a situation full of anguish and heartbreak on both sides. For those who seek better understanding.
Inconsistent episode frequency
12/14/2023
Good podcast when it’s available
Not balanced reporting
12/03/2023
Listened to latest episode, interview with a Palestinian reporter. Fawning interview, didn’t hear any other side.
Hamas propaganda
12/07/2023
Whatever happened to the BBCs credibility. This podcast is an embarrassment to the BBCs legacy
Shame on Jeremy Bowen and BBC
12/03/2023
This biased, extremely one sided and dangerous podcasts paints a horrifying picture of Israel. This is shameful and pitiful journalism. Jeremy should be released from his role as a journalist for this atrocity and for refusing to acknowledge what “little” Hamas planned, carried out and continues to do. Absolute SHAME on you BBC for allowing this to continue.
BBC losing credibility
11/30/2023
I am no apologist for Israel. But this podcast is biased in its coverage of the Israeli-Hamas war. Like NPR in the US, the bias is demonstrated by choosing emotional stories sympathetic to the Gaza population, ignoring causal factors (eg, Hamas launching attacks from civilian areas), and never challenging the factual assertions or opinions of Palestinians interviewed. It’s depressing to see another great institution lost to populist blather.
