“The Israeli military is calling this a military operation, but we now know that young people are being killed, four of them under 18 – is that really what the military set out to do?” the BBC host inquired.
Bennett answered, “Quite the contrary. “There were 11 deaths, all militants. They are to blame for the fact that some young terrorists choose to carry weapons. Over 50 Israelis have been killed in the past year, often by terrorists who were trained, equipped, and dispatched from Jenin to kill Israelis.
Unfortunately, we had to go into this hornet’s nest of evil and neutralise the terrorists because Jenin has turned into an epicentre of terrorism. “In this case, all the dead Palestinians were terrorists.”Gadgil responded in a unique manner, saying, “Terrorists, but children – the Israeli forces are happy to kill children.” What is the Palestinian teenager firing at your family, if he is there? Bennett enquired. The presenter retorted, “The UN has classified them as minors.
After receiving “comments and complaints” about the interview, notably from Jewish organisations, the BBC apologised. All of the BBC’s platforms, including the BBC News channel, have covered these events in a fair and thorough manner.

The impact of the operation in Jenin on children and young people was brought up by the United Nations. Although this was a fair topic to discuss in the interview, we regret that the language used in this line of inquiry was improper and poorly stated, according to a statement from the BBC’s Director-General’s office, Tim Davie.
An “assertion such as “the Israeli troops are glad to kill children” cannot possibly meet the standards of journalistic probity that the BBC is known for,” wrote Rabbi Menachem Margolin, chairman of the European Jewish Association, in a letter to Davie.
In an interview with the former prime minister Naftali Bennett, BBC News Anchor Anjana Gadjil expressed this egregious lie that was “heavily loaded with emotion and sinisterly reminiscent of the blood libel that has plagued Jewish communities over millennia.”
What an abhorrent charge to level on a nation whose armed forces go to great efforts to prevent civilian casualties. These youngsters? They are armed terrorists aged 17 and 18 who want to attack Israeli soldiers and civilians! Sir, this is intolerable. Such a flagrant untruth is unworthy of journalism, let alone the BBC’s code of conduct. We kindly request that you correct Anjana Gadjil and withdraw the statement right away.
