What is "Zaka" and what has BBC been saying? Have a link to what you mean?

Zaka is the Israeli first responder organization that did a lot of the work on October 7.

wahnfrieden is apparently an October 7 denier and is annoyed that the BBC does think it happened.

No, the specific atrocity stories of 40 beheaded babies that BBC repeats after it was discredited, the baby cut from a womb, and others that were admitted to be fabrications but continue to be reported from Zaka as a credible source. Don't slander me saying that I deny Oct 7 happened.

Do you have a link where the BBC repeats this? I've never heard of any of it.

Here's a recent one, which cites a discredited Zaka source: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68162920

And there is plenty of reporting on the atrocity propaganda lies Zaka spread, but here is an Israeli publication's reporting: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-31/ty-article-ma...

NYT also repeated discredited lies: https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schw...

Detractors say that discrediting Zaka propaganda is equivalent to Oct 7 denial full-stop, even though Israeli publications have also discredited their claims (I guess Haaretz must also be an Oct 7 denier) - you can be the judge of that
