BBC headquarters in London was covered in red paint Saturday morning with paint spanning the walls, glass doors and pavement. Palestine Action says it was behind incident. “Palestine Action left a message overnight for the BBC: spreading the occupation’s lies and manufacturing consent for Israel’s war crimes means that you have Palestinian blood on your hands #ShutBBCDown,” the group wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. BBC has come under fire for not describing Hamas as terrorists in their coverage of the Israel attacks.
