A correction page is a pretty normal way for a publication for making corrections. And this particular one was for a radio broadcast, so they went out of their way to make sure the correction was in an extra place, aside from the radio. There is nothing quiet about that. So your title is sensationalist. And you're criticizing a publication for making a correction, would you rather that they didn't make corrections for their mistakes?

But since we are on the topic, let's talk about how fucking disgusting it is that government officials are saying shit like "What needs to be done in the Gaza Strip is to encourage emigration", "If there are 100,000 or 200,000 Arabs in Gaza and not 2 million Arabs, the entire discussion on the day after will be totally different."

So yeah, this totally isn't a genocide or an ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. And it is totally normal to create new words to describe children who have been orphaned.

I'm going through the corrections they made. On Nov 15th, 2023, they posted:

As BBC News covered initial reports that Israeli forces had entered Gaza’s main hospital, we said that “medical teams and Arab speakers” were being targeted. This was incorrect and misquoted a Reuters report. We should have said IDF forces included medical teams and Arabic speakers for this operation. We apologise for this error, which fell below our usual editorial standards. The correct version of events was broadcast minutes later and we apologised for the mistake on air later in the morning.

Feels like that should've been bigger news.
