Doctor slams BBC for echoing Israel
"You don't ask the perpetrator of genocide."
In a searing interview with the BBC, paediatrician Dr Tanya Haj Hassan condemned the broadcaster for echoing Israeli government talking points as she recounted her harrowing experiences in Gaza. Dr Haj Hassan, who recently returned from volunteering with Medical Aid for Palestinians, shared the devastating story of her colleague, Dr Alaa, a paediatric emergency doctor at Nasser Hospital.
While Dr Alaa was on call at the hospital, her home was bombed and nine of her children were killed, their bodies charred and dismembered beyond recognition. Her husband remains in critical condition. Dr Haj Hassan described a healthcare system in collapse: intensive care units overflowing with maimed, orphaned children – many the sole survivors of their families.
She also questioned why the BBC has delayed the release of 'Medics Under Fire', a documentary it commissioned about systematic attacks on Gaza’s healthcare workers, calling for its immediate release.
How BIASED is Corporate Media Really? Joy Reid and Mehdi Discuss after Leaving MSNBC
“Where the American media and the American political culture wins over the UK and every Western country, every time is the First Amendment — is free speech, is the inability of bad faith actors, billionaires, foreign governments to weaponize libel laws, to shut down new stories they don't like… But Donald Trump has shown and Elon Musk has shown, that you can weaponize libel laws even even if you aren't going to win.”
Former MSNBC hosts Mehdi Hasan and Joy Reid dive into a conversation on media bias, the Trump administration, and how journalists in the US are staying out of trouble by avoiding covering Palestine. The duo also takes questions from the audience, including one on the future of democracy in the US.
