“‘You Only Invite Me When Israelis Die’: Husam Zomlot Confronts BBC Over Double Standards”
November 8, 2025“YOU ONLY INVITE ME WHEN ISRAELIS DIE.”
A sentence that cut through the hypocrisy of Western media.
Dr. Husam Zomlot exposed the BBC for what it is, a platform that humanizes one side while erasing the other.
When Palestinians are massacred, the cameras go dark.
When Israelis die, the interviews begin.
This isn’t journalism. It’s propaganda dressed as empathy.

English Script:
Lewis Vaughn: Do you support what Hamas launched on Saturday morning?
Husam Zomlot: Well, this is not the right question, Lewis, really. The right question…
Lewis Vaughn: It’s an important question.
Husam Zomlot: No no, it’s not an important question because…
Lewis Vaughn: Whether you support their action or not is an important question.
Husam Zomlot: No, no, no, no, it is not an important question. But Hamas is, a militant group. You’re talking with the Palestinian representative. I am here to represent my people, the Palestinian people, what they are going through. I’m not here to condemn anybody. And if anybody that needs to be condemned, it’s what you call “the only democracy in the Middle East” that is Israel between parentheses, that is doing what you have just reported targeting civilians, and this has not just happened in the last 48 hours. How many times have you interviewed Israeli officials, Lewis? Hundreds of times. Hundreds of times. How many times Israel have committed war crimes, right live on your own cameras? Do you start by asking them to condemn themselves? Have you? You don’t. You don’t. No, no, I will answer that question. You don’t. You know why I refuse to answer this question? Because I refuse the premise of it. Because at the very heart of it is misrepresentation of the whole thing. Because it’s the Palestinians that are always expected to condemn themselves. I mean, come on, this is a political conflict. We have been denied our rights for a long time. So this is the wrong starting point. The right starting point is to focus on the root causes, is to try and get out of this extreme dark tunnel, as opposed to this business by BBC and the mainstream media for 75 years. You bring us here whenever the Israelis were killed. Did you bring me here when many Palestinians in the West Bank, more than 200 over the last few months? Do you invite me when there are such Israeli provocations in Jerusalem and elsewhere? Because Israel, what Israelis have seen, which we started by saying tragic the last 48 hours, the Palestinians see every day for the last 50 years. You know, the situation in Gaza, you’ve just described it. This is the biggest open air prison. Those people, 2 million have been taken hostage by Israel for the last 16 years. So I’m saying this, Lewis, perhaps this is about time we abandon this rhetoric, very dangerous, this framework, and we start giving people the real ugly truth sometimes. Israel is an occupying force. It is responsible to provide protection for the people under its occupation, and should they commit crimes and crimes against humanity in the coming hours and weeks, it must be held accountable by the international community and the international judicial system.
