🇵🇸 Translator Ayah Najadat: Arabic mistranslations are ‘weaponised’ against Palestinians
Errors like these are harmful, when language is distorted or weaponised to harm marginalised and vulnerable people.”
Arabic team lead for Respond Crisis Translation, Ayah Najadat, talked to Middle East Eye about how she and her team help with emergency translations in Gaza and other crisis areas and correct harmful mistranslations in media reports.
One such example was when Najadat’s team corrected a video report published by the BBC about a released Palestinian prisoner which featured incorrect subtitles, distorting what she was saying. The #BBC took down the video and corrected the error following the correction by Najadat’s team.

🇵🇸 BBC Pro-Israel Bias Exposed by Leaked Emails and Internal Studies
Since the beginning of the war on Gaza, the British Broadcasting Corporation (#BBC) has faced repeated accusations of pro-Israel bias, not only from the public but also internally. On July 16 and 18, leaked emails between BBC staff highlighted the extent of these grievances, accusing the outlet of complicity in the ongoing #genocide in #Gaza.
#Jadaliyya, an independent magazine by the #ArabStudiesInstitute, obtained leaked emails from May between Beirut-based BBC correspondent Rami Ruhayem and BBC Director General Tim Davie. Ruhayem also sent these emails to several BBC News departments.
The emails and attachments detail instances where the BBC missed key context, allowed guests to make unsubstantiated claims, and provided “evidence of a collapse in the application of basic standards and norms of #journalism that seems aligned with Israel’s propaganda strategy
