I deleted the BBC apps a while ago and try my best to avoid them now. Disgraceful

"Some people would take offence to that"

Just wait till she hears how offensive people find murdering children.

[mahilatif]

I can see, they don't even let anyone speak a single word against the state of Israel.
This is the level of support that Israeli and IDF are getting!

Fiona blind eye Bruce. Telling a guy someone is going to be offended to stop him making his point. BBC stop telling you the truth a long time ago.

[MusicMan]

The IDF have a phrase "mowing the lawn" which is a euphemism for "I've massacred Palestinians today.

[umerasad]

Ok forget Hamas, why don’t Palestinians in The West Bank have a right to defend themselves???

[watvid]

Why did Fiona, the host of the BBC show interrupt and defend the IDF? She is not meant to be answering, the guests speak.

[BabylonPatrol]

The way she tried to passive aggressively shame him.... 😂🤣😭
I feel so sorry for her family.

[Fecabs]

She's talking as if the IDF doesn't take any hostages. Thousands of Palestinian children are sleeping in prison on the floor, getting their head and shoulders broken by IDF guards, just because they dared to breath air.

[fritzcolburn]

They can be offended all they want. Sometimes the truth is offensive. Bless this man for speaking up.

[macdaddyalexis]

Israel claim to arrest Palestinians people but those people arrested are not charged and remain in jail without trial. That is a hostage.

[momokcandra]

UK government, BBC, i lost my respect for them.

[VikingFireProject]

It drives me nuts how they say Hamas has hostages and Israel has prisoners. They both have hostages. And by the sounds of it Hamas treats their hostages better.

[PsyOps]

They’re more offended you called them a terrorist organisation than they are of the 7000 children they’ve murdered.

Edit - 1 month on and that figure is now well over 10000.

[icactus]

I am so speechless when I see that lady and how she is blindly supporting Israel without questioning what this terrorist of Israel are doing

[User-laiejwo]

A lot of people take offense of calling them terrorist? I'm sure a lot of British would be offended if you list all the countries that was colonized and robbed from Britain

[amanneuman]

Where do occupiers have the right to defend itself? Israel is an occupier period. 😮

[shireenkhan]

Yes, why they always interrupt when someone speaking the truth

[aamirahmed]

German Nazis were also a national army. How is IDF different from Nazi Army?

They look same & in fact, they are same.
