PALESTINE Action protesters drenched BBC buildings in red paint on Saturday morning over the media outlet’s coverage of Israeli war crimes.

The activists took aim at both the BBC’s London headquarters, New Broadcasting House, as well as the BBC Hanover Building in Liverpool which houses Radio Merseyside.

Writing on X, Palestine Action accused the BBC of “spreading the occupation’s lies and manufacturing consent for Israel’s war crimes,” adding that they have “Palestinian blood on their hands.”
