The BBC's role is not to keep viewers informed. It's to persuade them a clear crime against humanity by Israel is, in fact, highly complicated geopolitics they cannot hope to understand

Guardian, this isn't a 'he said-she said' issue. The ceasefire agreement was clear: the last Israelis would be freed in the 2nd phase. Israel refused to honour that agreement. They chose a return to genocide. Pretending this is debatable isn't journalism. It's collusion in genocide.
