The BBC’s report notes that: [emphasis added]
“Since 2007 when they asserted control over Gaza, the Hamas-run authorities have carried out at least 27 executions, most recently in April 2017.”
However, BBC audiences are not informed that under Palestinian Authority law, all executions require approval from the president, or that in 2005 Mahmoud Abbas issued a moratorium on death sentences.
Curiously, the BBC chose to illustrate this report with a photograph which has nothing to do with the story’s subject matter.
The original caption to that image photographed on August 24th reads:
“Armed fighters of Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad seen aboard truck-mounted rockets and other weapons, during an anti-Israel military parade in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip. An Egyptian-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Islamic Jihad began late Sunday evening, August 7, 2022, and three days of violence ended.”
The BBC News website however chose to replace that caption with its own: [emphasis added]
“Israel often targets sites in Gaza it says are used to launch rockets against Israeli cities”
The final paragraph of the report erases Egypt’s occupation of the Gaza Strip in 1948:
“Israel occupied the Gaza Strip during the 1967 Middle East war. In 2005, it withdrew its troops and some 7,000 settlers.”
As we see (not for the first time), the BBC cannot resist gratuitously shoehorning Israel and ‘the conflict’ even into a report about internal Palestinian affairs.

BBC News shoehorns Israel into report on internal Palestinian affairs
An uncredited report headlined “Hamas executes two 'Israel collaborators' in Gaza” appeared on the BBC News website’s ‘Middle East’ page on Septembercamera-uk.org
Ahh, but who is the president of Palestine?However, BBC audiences are not informed that under Palestinian Authority law, all executions require approval from the president,
Ahh, but who is the president of Palestine?
Abbass' term in office expired in January of 2009.
Good points, but who installed this dictator?You need to keep up. Dictator Abbas is president of something called the Palestinian National Authority. The PNA is little more than a P.O. Box where the dictator collects his welfare checks. As there is no ''country of Pal'istan'', there is no president, just the dictator occupying territory,
Same old conspiracy theory.Good points, but who installed this dictator?
Same old duck.Same old conspiracy theory.
Your conspiracy theories are your own nightmare.,Same old duck.
Conspiracy theories is a CIA propaganda term.Your conspiracy theories are your own nightmare.,
The signs have been there for a while. For example, in May, Fatah released a video called "Security Services By Day, Fedayeen By Night," glorifying members of the Palestinian security services who have been involved in terrorism, including in 2021.Early this morning Fatah released a video on its official Facebook page celebrating the terror attack. During the video, a text appeared on the screen with three important messages:
1. "The Al-Aqsa-Palestine [Martyrs’] Brigades is officially announcing its operations (i.e., terror attacks)”
2. “The Fatah Movement takes responsibility for the operations of its military arm [the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades]”
3. "The Fatah leadership announces that it has returned to the phase of the armed struggle(i.e., Fatah’s euphemism for terror)"
The Al-Aqsa-Martyrs’ Brigades is an internationally designated terror organization. For years the United States, Europe, and other funders of the PA have tried to differentiate between Fatah which is headed by PA leader Mahmoud Abbas and its terror branch the Brigades. Palestinian Media Watch has argued all along that this differentiation is false and artificial. Now Fatah has officially confirmed that they are one organization, and Fatah is taking credit and responsibility for its murderous terror attacks.
The third part of Fatah’s announcement is also significant. For years PMW has been reporting that Fatah regularly declares that the pause in "armed struggle" - its euphemism for terror - against Israel is temporary and that the phase of the “armed struggle” will return. Now Fatah has officially announced that it has returned to terror.
The liberation of the homeland is the central axis of the Fatah Movement’s struggle...
The Palestinian people’s right to practice armed resistance against the military occupation of their land remains a constant right confirmed by international law and international legality.
,,,Continued commitment to the culture of struggle, and the permanent readiness to engage in resisting the occupation, and sacrifice for the homeland. Continuous education through regular organizational meetings and training courses. The issuing of Fatah circulars, to continue mobilizing the cadres of the movement and masses with the heritage of the Palestinian armed struggle. Celebrating our battles, and commemorating the history of our struggle and the permanent readiness to sacrifice.
