Last week the BBC had a headline front page item – Gaza medics tell BBC that Israeli troops beat and humiliated them after hospital raid…..
I want to tell you a story.
Last week the BBC Verify team posted a demonising report that accused Israel of abusing Palestinian medics.
The BBC Verify story relied on six separate sources. I think you should meet the people @bbcnews rely on:

BBC journalists behind a damning report which accused Israeli soldiers of beating and humiliating medics at a Gaza hospital have 'liked' videos celebrating Hamas terror attacks and anti-Israel posts online.
The story last week led to worldwide condemnation of Israel, and was called 'very disturbing' by Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron who called for 'answers'.
Now The Mail on Sunday can reveal concerns about the views of two BBC Arabic reporters, Soha Ibrahim and Marie-Jose Al Azzi, who were credited with working on the story.
The "news", basically, came from Palestinian activists. No independent verification.
It's the same old story – the Al-Ahli hospital bombing; the aid truck deaths. The BBC rushes to get out the Hamas news….and we learn the truth later.
