Yesterday, the courageous Gary Lineker was finally forced to resign from the BBC, after heroically staving off pro-Israel attacks for months.
And this morning, Owen Jones, who has thoroughly chronicled the BBC’s anti-Palestinian bias since October 7th, published one of the most powerfully damning condemnations I have ever heard:
❝ Here’s a final message to those who have hounded Gary Lineker out of his job, (who are no doubt celebrating):
You have lost.
You have lost the battle for public opinion in the West, which long ago was defined by revulsion at Israel’s murderous actions.
You know that even former cheerleaders of Israel are publicly turning against it as they realize the scale of the crime is impossible to defend.
You know that in time both the media and government will be forced to reflect the actual monstrous truth and to act on it.
And you also know, deep down, that this crime is too depraved, too extreme, too deranged, too shameless, too unapologetic, and too documented to get away with.
You know that there will be a reckoning — that those who supported this abomination will, within their lifetimes, face the consequences of their actions.
And you know that the judgment of history will be devastating.
All you have for comfort, in the here and now, is the scalps of the people you’ve deprived of careers, reputations and freedom, and the mass slaughter of Palestinians you don’t even pretend to consider to be human beings.
You are monsters.
And in time that will be the consensus. Politically, and indeed, legally. ❞
- Owen Jones, 20th May 2025
