An anniversary that the BBC will not be commemorating

'Starting on Friday, August 23, 1929 and lasting for a week, attacks by enraged Arab mobs were launched against Jews in the Old City in Jerusalem, in Jerusalem suburbs Sanhedria, Motza, Bayit Vegan, Ramat Rachel, in outlying Jewish communities, and in the Galilee town of Tzfat.  Small Jewish communities in Gaza, Ramla, Jenin, and Nablus had to be abandoned.

The attack in Hebron became a frenzied pogrom with the Arab mob stabbing, axing, decapitating and disemboweling 67 men, women and children. At least 133 Jews were killed across Palestine.'

The BBC will not commemorate these massacres, including the most famous one in Hebron on 24 August 1929, because to do so would mean accepting that there were Jews living in what is now Israel, including all of Jerusalem as well as Judea & Samaria (what the BBC refer to as the West Bank). To accept this is to go against the Palestinian narrative of Jewish invaders of Palestinian land. Don't confuse the BBC with an impartial news reporting organisation, it's not.
