BBC presenter Andrew Marr breached editorial guidelines when he remarked during his flagship Sunday morning programme that Israel had killed “lots of Palestinian kids”, the Corporation has ruled.
Marr made the comment at the end of a discussion about a Syrian chemical weapons attack on civilians during the April 8 edition of The Andrew Marr Show.
The veteran presenter said: “And the Middle East is aflame again. I mean there’s lots of Palestinian kids being killed further south as well by Israeli forces.”
But the Mail on Sunday reported antisemitism campaigner Jonathan Sacerdoti had complained about Marr making reference to Israel following a discussion on the “unrelated“ topic of Syria.
