Imagine the BBC's outcry if it was the world's only Jewish majority state mistreating women, rather than the Islamic Saudi Arabia

Towards the end of this BBC report https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-45079682 comes some context to the report:

'Saudi women's rights activists, including those who have been imprisoned for defying the ban, had celebrated the decision.

But they also vowed to continue campaigning for the end of other laws they consider discriminatory.

Women must adhere to a strict dress code, be separated from unrelated men, and be accompanied by or receive written permission from a male guardian - usually a father, husband or brother - if they want to travel, work or access healthcare.'

I doubt that the BBC would be so lacking in emotion if it was Israeli campaigners opposing 'laws they consider discriminatory'.

If Israel was accused of, or rather actually guilty of such discrimination as:

'Women must adhere to a strict dress code, be separated from unrelated men, and be accompanied by or receive written permission from a male guardian - usually a father, husband or brother - if they want to travel, work or access healthcare.' then the BBC would be campaigning against these restrictions daily and would be calling for action but as it's not a democracy such as Israel but the theocracy of Saudi Arabia, the BBC keep quiet.
